| The success of BTS cannot be separated from the important role of each member, one of which is J-Hope as a rapper |
Who is not amazed by the members of BTS or Bangtan Boys such as RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
In addition to the faces of the BTS members who are indeed handsome, their appearance when singing is also unquestionable.
However, every BTS fan must have their own bias. One of them is J-Hope, a 27-year-old man who is known to be a source of energy for other BTS members.
J-Hope is a rapper, songwriter, dancer, and record producer in South Korea under Big Hit Music Management.
J-Hope is also noted for his great input in songwriting and production, as well as discography within BTS.
J-Hope is also commonly called by other BTS members by the name Hobie. However, because the identity of this rapper is considered very confident, BTS or ARMY fans also have another nickname, 'ARMY's Hope'.
What has recently been discussed is how one of the ARMYs tried to propose to J-Hope or asked J-Hope to promise to marry him.
Of course, this is not the first time that BTS members have received such a marriage proposal or request.
Usually, this is said a lot through the interactive platform used by ARMY and pre-member BTS, Weverse. One of J-Hope's fans asked him to say that he will marry her after he becomes an actor.
This J-Hope fan wrote, “Oppa my dream is to become an actor. If my dream comes true, marry me when you see me.”
However, the fan of J-Hope or the artist whose real name is Jung Ho-seok added that he was joking, although he still hoped it would. “Just a joke when it says marry me. Just tell me 'you did your best'," he added.
Dippers go on and J-Hope replies, “I hope you can become an amazing actor,” along with some Dynamite emojis and a fairy emoji.
Quoted from Indian Express, J-Hope responded to more than 60% of messages on Weverse. He showed information about his dog, Jungkook's dog, Bam, and various other BTS activities.
J-Hope also often posts selfies on several occasions, which of course triggers a lot of reactions.
J-Hope is a member of BTS who is always known to be friendly, optimistic and always makes people around him happy. Some ARMYs even dubbed him like the 'sunshine' that was enlightening.
The same thing was seen when Jungkook surprised fans by releasing a cover of Falling or a song originally sung by Harry Styles. Apparently this also surprised other fellow BTS members including J-Hope.
The rapper went down to Weverse and asked Jungkook when he recorded the song and J-Hope also shared his assessment of the song. "When did you make this (song)... it's great".
J-Hope Profile
Jung Hoseok (정호석) or J-Hope is indeed fairly multitask with all his abilities. As a main dancer, J-Hope apparently took dance classes at Gwangju Music Academy and became part of an underground dance team called "Neuron", where he came out under the name Smile Hoya.
Finding inspiration in G-Dragon and Beenzino, J-Hope initially auditioned for JYP Entertainment.
But like not a soul mate, J-Hope eventually became part of Big Hit Entertainment and debuted as a member of a very sensational boy band, BTS.
It's no secret, if BTS then grew as a worldwide phenomenon even today.
With his passion and relentless efforts, J-Hope became one of the most sought after artists of his generation. J-Hope released his first solo mixtape, "Hope World" in 2018, and became the highest-ranking Korean soloist at the time on the Billboard 200.

J-Hope Fashion Style
There is not a single BTS member whose appearance does not attract attention. Including J-Hope, how his style and style of dress always invites comments.
Whether he's on stage or on a plane, everyone will say J-Hope is the most fashionable member of BTS. Here are some stylish takeaways from J-hope's colorful wardrobe that characterize her unique fashion sense.
Bright Colors
One thing this BTS member is not limited to in his wardrobe is bright colors. His appearance often features bursts of color that make it stand out without being over the top.
J-hope uses color as a way to infuse fun into his outfits.
This distinctive playfulness has given birth to what BTS fans call the "Hobicore" aesthetic. This is the inspiration to make their own DIY beaded bracelets, bags or jeans with colorful patterns.
Over Size
Pairing an oversized black with a tight one is a well-known rule in fashion. However, that's not what J-hope did.
The singer has made his own fashion rules by often pairing baggy pants with equally oversized tops.
While this option can be risky and make a person's silhouette look bulky, if styled properly, it can create a very attractive look when worn with confidence.
Since J-hope's style is more urban and streetwear, he usually wears wide pants or shorts, oversized coats, hoodies, and tees. Tights are a rarity in J-Hope's wardrobe.
Accessories
For J-hope, the appearance is not complete without some accessories. In fact, the accessories that unite his appearance. Bucket hats, funky sunglasses, large bags, and headbands are some of his favorites.
One of his favorites is the clear A-COLD-WALL bag, which features a Murakami flower plush toy inside. This is an original way to access and add color.
Statement Shoes
Blending his love of color and streetwear, colorful and chunky sneakers are a must in J-hope's wardrobe.
His most notable looks include Balenciaga triple S sneakers and Archlight sneakers from Louis Vuitton—a standout and eye-catching statement shoe.
This bold choice of footwear adds to their look by giving them a unique silhouette.
You need to know, fashion statement style is the use of fashion items that aim to steal attention. The statement items include statement shoes belonging to J-Hope, which have an unusual shape or not plain, as well as attractive colors that make them more eye-catching.
Facts About J-Hope
Supergroup BTS has captured the hearts of millions of fans around the world. They are often compared to British boy bands such as The Beatles, due to their frequent chart-topping success.
BTS became the first band since The Beatles to have three albums and topped Billboard No. 1 in a year.
BTS wouldn't be the cultural giants they are today if it weren't for their enigmatic members. One of them is J-Hope, who often brings joy to his other friends.
Philanthropy
J-Hope makes regular contributions to causes he cares deeply about. On his birthday several years ago, he made a sizeable donation to ChildFund Korea to support underprivileged students attending his alma mater in Gwangju.
Also when the Black Lives Matter movement revived this year, BTS and Big Hit Entertainment took their first steps in the Korean pop industry by donating $1 million (USD) to the movement.
The sad events surrounding the death of George Floyd have shaken the world. The devastating incident galvanized the struggle for racial equality and justice around the world.
J-Hope was among the celebrities who expressed solidarity with the movement. The rapper took to his Twitter where he posted a picture of the KAWS TAKE Companion Figure.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these figures goes to the organizations Color of Change and Black Lives Matter. Artist and designer KAWS (Brian Donnelly) hopes to raise $250,000 USD from the release of three versions of TAKE Companion Figures.
It is a well-known fact that J-Hope loves to collect collectibles from KAWS.i
Making Fun of Halsey's Dance Move
Remember with the song Boy With Luv, you will see BTS collaborate with American singer Halsey. They are good friends and Halsey not only contributes to vocals, but she also dances with great skill.
In an interview with heatworld, Halsey revealed J-Hope initially made fun of her dance moves. He added that J-Hope and Jungkook are two people who like to laugh at his shoulder movements.
Hope World
J-Hope also has great solo songs. At the age of 24, in March 2018, he released his debut mixtape Hope World.
The track list includes 7 songs, namely Hope World, P.O.P (Piece Of Peace), Daydream, Base Line, Hangsang (feat. Supreme Boi), Airplane, and Blue Side (Outro).
His solo debut in no way meant he parted ways with the band. For him, the team always comes first and his main focus is on the band.
In fact, J-Hope is the third member (after RM and SUGA) to put out a solo mixtape. For J-Hope, Hope World is a “calling card to the world.”
SHIP SOPE
Ship or Ship BTS, SOPE, is a favorite friendship relationship that is easy for ARMY to remember. SOPE comes from the pair of names J-Hope and SUGA.
These two have opposite personalities and they are always up to something funny.
Their friendship is unique because of the bond that continues to be well established and balanced. Some of the favorite moments that are often revealed are wearing matching clothes and imitating each other in photos.
I'm Your Hope, You Are My Hope
In 2017, BTS debuted on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Host, Ellen DeGeneres asked each of the seven members to introduce themselves. At that time J-Hope was in third place, after V.
In an adorable way, he introduced himself by saying, "Hi, I'm Your Hope, You Are My Hope.".
Those words became the most complicated introduction. His stage name 'J-Hope' comes from his desire to represent hope for fans. He also likes to think of himself as the hope of a boy band.
BTS Rap Star
J-Hope is a very talented artist with various skills. Apart from being an ace dancer, he is also an accomplished rapper.

Nicknames
Jung Ho-seok has many nicknames besides his stage name J-Hope. There is a reason behind each of these names.

In addition, because of his optimistic personality, fans also like to call him 'ARMY's HOPE'. Team J-Hope on him represents choreography proficiency and because of that he is also called the 'Team Dance Leader.' He has earned the title of 'Golden Hyung' for his diverse skills.
Look Quirky with LV Duck Bags
As previously stated, it's not J-Hope if it's not eccentric. J-Hope hats, glasses, shoes, bags, and small accessories are always an inspiration for anyone to appear bolder.
Recently, BTS has officially returned to Los Angeles, California, for their pretty hectic year-end schedule!
First, they will attend the 2021 American Music Awards and then get ready for their PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE concert at SoFi Stadium!
What is unique about the appearance of BTS members, especially J-Hope when leaving Korea? Some BTS photos were posted on DISPATCH STYLE's official Instagram.
Many BTS members wear coats, and it's airport fashion for fall. In J-HOPE airport fashion, duck-shaped bags are a hot topic!
This duck-shaped bag is a product of Louis Vuitton. It's a very cute bag and of course quite expensive.
The day before, J-HOPE posted a photo of a tiger-designed Louis Vuitton bag on Weverse. ARMY expected J-HOPE to take the tiger bag at the airport. Instead of a tiger, J-Hope actually brought a duck bag with him.
Those are some facts and records of J-Hope's success. BTS members do complement each other so that they can grow and make history as they are today.
However, J-Hope, is also clearly not a random person because of his musical achievements and work.
