BTS member J-Hope shared an update on his life after military discharge and expressed his anticipation for full group activities.
On the June 14 broadcast of MBC‘s variety show ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere‘ (aka ‘The Manager’), J-Hope appeared as a guest to promote his new song “Killin’ It Girl (feat. GloRilla)” and showcased his cheerful wit.
He explained his reason for appearing on the show, saying, “When I was in the military, ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’ was always airing reruns on TV. While watching it, I thought to myself, ‘I should definitely go on the show after I’m discharged.’”
He also mentioned BTS’ “IDOL” cover performance by comedians Yang Se Hyung, Yoo Byung Jae, and Park Sung Kwang at the ‘2018 MBC Entertainment Awards,’ adding with a laugh, “Byungjae hyung was dancing like his face and body were moving separately in the beginning. I really enjoyed watching it.”
Currently, with only Suga left to complete his service, all BTS members have fulfilled their military duties. Regarding this, J Hope shared, “When I was discharged, I had mixed feelings. Now that all the members are finishing, I wonder if we’ll still have the same chemistry when we work together again. I feel both anxious and excited.”
He also added that while he feels some anxiety about whether the group can synchronize again after a three-year break, he believes they will naturally become one once all seven members reunite.
In particular, speaking about full group activities, he suggested they are working quickly to prepare for their return. He said, “We’re planning to gather and discuss the album. We’re trying to prepare as quickly as possible. Since BTS is all about performances, we’re also planning a full group world tour,” raising fans’ anticipation.
Netizen reactions include:
“Everything was already planned out—that’s why they enlisted together… Anyway, this is so great, I’m insanely excited~”
“Even if someone reaches BTS-level influence and career, there’s probably no more military exemption now lol. Welcome back, superstar.”
“When will I be able to go to a BTS concert ㅠ I love how diverse their music is. I have an old-school taste, so I hope they include some Korean lyrics I can sing along to.”
“I’m really looking forward to it, but I might actually lose it this time if I don’t get my grape light stickㅜ”
“Full group, come back soonnnnnn”
“Massive expectations. Yep, BTS is all about the stage.”
“Watching ‘Spring Day’ made me feel good.”
“Nice~~”
“Love it, love it.”
“Seven members really are possible.”
“I’ve been freaking waiting for 7 BTS members ㅜ I was truly happy to see all 7 of them at Hobi’s final concert~!”
