BTS J-Hope "I feel relieved to support Jimin"

J-Hope of the group BTS expressed his gratitude to member Jimin.

On the 22nd, a video was posted on the YouTube channel 'Disney Plus Korea' with the title 'This decision is not easy...! [j-hope IN THE BOX] Balance Game'.

J-Hope played a balance game. When asked, 'What was difficult while preparing a solo album?', he chose burden between loneliness and burden.

J-Hope said, "I felt a lot of pressure. It was my first solo and it was my first step, so I felt that way. Since the music was something I really wanted and wanted to do, I think I thought, 'Is this okay?' So I felt a little pressured. “There was this,” he explained.

The production team said, “It seems like there was a lot of loneliness.” J-Hope confessed, "Actually, I think the burden and loneliness coexisted. In fact, it was always a time when the 7 of us were together, but now, in a way, as my first solo artist, I had to experience and endure many things alone, so I felt very lonely."

J-Hope said, "I think he is who he is today because he tried something new. In many ways, I learned a lot and experienced a lot through new attempts. In addition, in a way, I think it was an attempt to try something I could do. “I think about it,” he said.

Additionally, J-Hope chose the moment when all the performances ended as the most memorable scene while performing at Lollapalooza. He said, "I can't forget that. As soon as I came down, the staff told me how cool it was. There was a person in charge of our sound. He actually didn't show such things, but he told me that we ripped the live performance."

He added, "The staff who worked hard for me gave me a lot of praise. Jimin, who was with me at the time, came to cheer me on, and he also praised me for being so cool. Many things passed by like a flash of light."

J-Hope said, "Actually, even when performing for BTS, I'm the type of person who gets appropriately nervous before going up. If I'm not nervous, I'm bound to make mistakes on stage. I think appropriate tension is good." He said, "Strangely enough, I wasn't nervous before going up to Lollapalooza. The reason why it was so big was that the mental burden I felt suddenly disappeared like magic when the members came and cheered me on."

J-Hope said, "If you watch the documentary, you will see that there is a section where I keep repeating to Jimin, 'Thanks to you, I am mentally stable.' That was sincere. I felt relieved, and thanks to that friend, in a way, I thought, 'I was always like this.' ', 'I felt that I was not alone,' he said.
