Fun facts

“I’m your hope, you’re my hope, I’m j-hope” is practically stored in ARMY muscle memory.
Hobi during a relaxed moment and Jung Team Leader during rehearsal are two very different experiences.
Once dance practice starts, his attention to timing, angles and details becomes impossible to miss.
Hoseok had a strong dance background before BTS.
Hope World, Jack In The Box and HOPE ON THE STREET each show very different sides of him.
94z = Hoseok + Namjoon, one of Bangtan’s most loved same-age friendships.
MANG is officially an expressive dancing machine — possibly the most perfectly matched description imaginable.
Hobi’s laugh is one of those sounds you recognize before you even see him.
His stage presence can switch from sunshine to completely focused performer in seconds.
“Sprite!” remains tucked away in the memory of many longtime ARMY.
Fashion and styling have always been another place where Hoseok likes to experiment.
The moment Hobi starts freestyling, everyone knows the dancer has fully arrived.
