Jungkook is famously known as BTS’s “Golden Maknae” and J-Hope is dubbed as the group’s “Golden Hyung.” While all the BTS members are amazing dancers, J-Hope is considered to be the leader.
Even though he is the group’s official funny guy, the 26-year-old rapper, songwriter, dancer, and record producer gets pretty serious when it comes to their dance practices. Even the members said that J-Hope plays an important role in dance training.
Now, J-Hope’s high school teacher confirmed his “Golden Hyung” status. He said that even before he became successful, the BTS star’s talent had always been above average.
“Hoseok already had the talent that is above the standard of average students,” the teacher said. “Hoseok not only displays his talent, but he was also able to set goals and was willing to work hard to achieve them.”
As if J-Hope’s talent is not enough, his teacher shared that the BTS star has an amazing personality. On top of oh his already very impressive skills, he said that J-Hope is humble and “warm-hearted.”
“In instances like these, he shows that he is a warm-hearted and grateful student and doesn’t forget (people from his past),” the teacher continued. “(In ‘Ma City’) Hoseok mentioned ‘5.18’ Gwangju Uprising in his lyrics. Hoseok included it in his lyrics because he believed it was the right thing to do, which is admirable.”
The Gwangju Uprising, also called as the May 18 Democratic Uprising by UNESCO, and May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement was a controversial topic, but J-Hope touched on it on his “Ma City” lyrics, because it was a part of the history of the place that he was born.
Meanwhile, J-Hope is known for his incredible charm and a joyful outlook on life. The BTS star is called “sunshine” by fans because of his bubbly personality and positive vibe.
J-Hope explained before that he chose the stage name J-Hope (J is the first letter of his last name Jung, and H is the first letter of his first name Hoseok) because he wanted to spread hope to everyone.
Also, J-Hope is a very reliable member of BTS. Even though he enjoys being silly, he knows when to get serious. In fact, RM said that he considers J-Hope to be the second leader of BTS. Jin also awarded him in their 2020 Season’s Greetings as the “Next Leader."
