Similarly, Ho-Seok uses J-Hope as his stage name, which was given by the Band Si-Hyuk, know in fandom as Bang Pd( CEO of Big Hit Labels) before their debut. As the name suggests, his name J-Hope means ‘Hope and Happiness.’

Since the debut, the said member has fully embraced his name and now is known as Mr. Sunshine of the group.

As we all know, BTS is killing it at the music scene worldwide. Formerly known as the Bangtang Seonyondan, aka Bullet Proof Boys Scout, they now go by the new name, Beyond The Scene. Since their debut on June 12, 2013, J-Hope has actively performed his role as the group’s main dancer.

However, the decision was not made on a fluke. In fact, J-Hope proved his worth as a dancer and earned his spot fair and square. Before debuting with BTS, a global phenomenon, he was part of Neuron’s underground dance team.

Moreover, Jung Ho-Seok also took dance classes at Gwangju Music Academy and relatively honed his skills. Throughout his younger days, the dancing machine won various prizes, including a national dance competition in 2008.

6. J-Hope’s Eccentric Yet Vibrant Fashion Style

Aside from dominating the global scene, BTS is also known for their fashion sense. Despite being in the same group, each member has their unique sense of style and items that they are fond of.

While Jungkook‘s wardrobe is dominated by black and white, mostly the former, V is more of a retro and indie style. RM is more into earthy and warm tones, Jimin is all about Chelsea boots, Jin is comfort, and Suga is also into black and simple items.

However, J-Hope never has a dull or simple look. Compared to his other members, J-Hope uses a lot of vibrant colors and accessories to pop off his style. Let it be his heavy Balenciaga shoes or see-through bags, a pouch that was despised by the members, or white suit from Saint Laurent, his fashion keeps on changing.

But one thing is sure, his fashion style and themes match his outgoing and happy go personality.

7.  J-Hope Almost Left The Group

Well, when we think about it, BTS is perfect as a seven-member group. But can you imagine BTS without any member? No right. However, before they debuted, J-Hope once left the group.

To be precise, he decided to leave the group. In the third episode of ‘Burn The Stage,’ a YouTube Red exclusive BTS documentary, J-Hope opened up about the past.

Likewise, he mentioned how things not working out for the group led Mr. Sunshine to make such a decision. But our maknae, Jungkook, teared up over the news and begged him to stay.
