“After signing the contract, my company sent me to study in Gwangju. When I saw Repmon and Suga hyung, I thought, “They are so cool!” I moved into the dorm in December. It was very different from what I imagined. My The fantasies of being a trainee were ruined (laughs). In Gwangju, I received many awards at city events. dance competitions. I won an underground dance battle and even performed at a festival. (V: “I can confirm this. During the performance at Korea Arts School, there were many trainees from different areas. When I debuted with Bangtan, my friends asked me, “Is J-Hope hyung that guy from Gwangju Dance Academy?” He was so famous."
After debut, myself, Jimin and Jungkook practiced a lot. Mostly at night: until one o’clock, and sometimes until two. First we practiced the basics, then moved on to the details. Dancing, like rap, has a freestyle, so sometimes we would gather in a circle and dance. What I like about dancing is that we can always agree. The guys understand faster if I explain to them: “Freestyle in rap is no different from freestyle in dancing. Let's try it!” IN Lately, I think V understands what needs to be done the fastest. At first I thought, “Ah... What should I do with him?”, but now he enjoys dancing and shows great interest in it. Repmon's dancing skills are also improved. In other words, he becomes a great dancer! (Laughs)
I'm the only member who has an older sister. She is five years older than me, but we are very close. She is the one who gives me constant support.
There are many disadvantages to wearing a mask. It is very difficult to breathe in it and it damages the skin. I put it on immediately after singing, but there are some masks that are difficult to put on. But a lot of people recognize me by the mask, so I'm glad.
Jin hyung did a lot for me tasty soup from seaweed*. When I tried it, I was speechless, because it tasted exactly like my mother’s. (Jin: “This was before our diet, so I could add soy sauce, lettuce and beef to the soup.”)
I am the type of person who easily and without hesitation gets close to others, my manner of speaking is about the same. When Repmon's behavior goes beyond the bounds of decency, I often grumble at him. He promises that he won’t behave like this again, but these are just promises (laughs). True, now most of him bad habits disappeared. (Repmon: "If I'm fire, then J-Hope is water. He's good at breaking my bad habits. He's very outgoing, so he finds it easy mutual language with others and with the members of our group.)"
