In a community forum, fans compared the difference between J-Hope's looks on and off stage by sharing his photos. They said he looks like a president when he wears formal suits off-stage, a sexy and traditional dancer on-stage, a cute squirrel, a sunbaenim on-camera, a casual boyfriend, and an innocent symbol of nature off-stage. Hence, they found he completely turns into a different person when he is performing on stage.
