BTS' J-Hope emphasizes not taking solo work lightly, reveals working hard despite falling sick in emotional update
With Sweet Dreams, MONA LISA, and lastly Killin' It Girl, J-Hope has once again proven his ace status. Having taken over varied genres with a twist of his own style and a blast of dance, his first love, the BTS member, showed why he deserves all the praise coming his way, and more. Taking to Weverse following the completion of his last schedule, an appearance on Inkigayo, J-Hope dropped a lengthy message addressed to his fans. J-Hope thanks BTS ARMY for constant support and reveals tough times during solo work Writing about how he hasn't been able to stop thinking about the efforts that went into the production of his individual projects, J-Hope revealed how he got very immersed in his work this time, maybe more than the other artists. He did not forget to thank his fans, who are at the center of his work, 'When I think about who's watching, who's listening, who's giving their love and attention, and not to mention, who's consuming, and dedicating their time, in the end ARMY, are at the heart of it all! Right.. of course, it's obvious!! But I also think that treating it as 'obvious', as a given, is something that I have to be really careful not to do.' The rapper added how he did not take any of his work lightly and focused on ensuring everything was perfect till the end. That's how he has spent the past 8 months of his life, making him learn more than ever before. Speaking about how since 2022, when BTS first announced their hiatus for solo projects and military enlistments, he changed as a person, J-Hope turned into a strong individual. 'I've experienced being sick, and tried healing myself, and felt a great sense of accomplishment, and developed confidence. I've also developed a sense of belief in myself and my loving fans. I think I've become stronger and secure! It's all thanks to you.' With only the Lollapalooza Berlin schedule left in his solo journey this year, the star wants to keep the fire burning for another stage-breaking performance, much like the one at Lollapalooza Chicago in 2022.

BTS' J-Hope reveals his ideal type of girlfriend to TWICE's Sana, fans ask to spill tea about Jeongyeon and Jimin's alleged feud
J-Hope appeared on Sana's Cold Interview and opened up about how long it had been since the two teams were seen in the same frame. They recalled when Nayeon and Momo helped him promote Sweet Dreams, but when Sana popped him the question about the type of girl the MONA LISA singer wanted to be with, he revealed how he's had a clear vision for his partner, surprising viewers. J-Hope curbs Sana's curiosity over love interest One of the most important questions asked by the Japanese singer came towards the second half of the video, where she asked about J-Hope 's ideal type of girlfriend. Initially surprised about the type of question, the two laughed about the fact that it had been 10 years since he was first asked the question. Keeping it brief and to the point, the BTS member revealed how he looked for someone with a different view on things than himself and is drawn to those 'unlike' him from personality to values and interests. 'If I ask, what do you think is inside this pear drink? I'd probably answer simply that it has pear and some other ingredients. But the other person might answer from a totally different perspective. And I'd find that really interesting [making my heart flutter].' Sana, not letting the chance to tease him go to waste, said, 'Like. Which farm did the pear come from?' Why do fans want to know about Jimin and Jeongyeon? BTS and TWICE, two representative K-pop groups of the third generation, have more than one thing in common in their careers. Having debuted with just a gap of two years, the members' schedules overlapped, and the two singers got talking about how they would promote during similar times. One of those times, an interaction between members Jimin and Jeongyeon piqued the interest of the viewers as they are rumored to have been feuding. While neither team have addressed this, fans are now expecting them to open up. It is said that J-Hope was up for JYP Entertainment's global auditions alongside TWICE's Jeongyeon, Wanna One's Ha Sungwoon, BTOB's Sungjae, and WJSN's Bona. While the others ended up leaving the agency to pursue other endeavors, Jeongyeon debuted with the girl group, which grew to become one of the most loved K-pop groups ever.
