J-Hope had always been on the slender side ever since ARMYs first laid their eyes on him. Even though he had bigger biceps and more refined abs during BTS’s earlier years, the “Ego” rapper maintained his fit physique until today.

The 26-year-old rapper, songwriter, dancer, and record producer previously shared that he’s not a fan of working out. Despite that, J-Hope still has an amazing body, thanks to his love for dancing.

But ARMYs have noticed that J-Hope is getting buff lately, especially in one specific area — his chest. The BTS star is mostly seen wearing loose shirts, so fans did not expect that he was hiding a brand new figure underneath.

When J-Hope recently wore a tight white shirt under his fitted blazer, ARMYs jaws dropped to the floor. After realizing that the “Chicken Noodle Soup” hitmaker has been hitting the gym, the whole fandom went into panic mode.

Back in September, J-Hope already hinted that he’s been serious about his fitness when he wore a slightly fitted button-down top. The reason why it was “slightly fitted” is because it was semi-loose in his arms and stomach area, but it was tight in the chest part.

It seems like J-Hope is fully aware that his chest muscles are increasing as he confidently wore a low-cut blazer with no garment underneath during their “Dynamite” performance at 2020 MMA. Although JH had always been comfortable with showing some skin, this was the first time in a very long time that he flaunted his bare chest. As expected, ARMYs went wild over it and trended his three names (Hoseok, Hobi, and JHOPE) on Twitter.

Meanwhile, J-Hope already mentioned back in June that he was gaining weight. While doing part two of his bracelet-making live broadcast, the BTS rapper had a chat with ARMYs, sharing that he had been eating well.

J-Hope did his live broadcast before BTS’s BangBangCon The Live. He said that he noticed his outfit for the event were getting tighter because his thighs became bigger.

ARMYs suddenly understood why Jungkook couldn’t contain himself from touching J-Hope’s thighs during the Units interview, which was uploaded before the rapper’s Vlive.

While Jin and J-Hope talked to the camera, Jungkook kept caressing JH’s left thigh, and he wasn’t even trying to hide it. The best part is that the “Ego” rapper didn’t even flinch while JK was massaging his thigh. It seemed like he was used to it because it may have happened regularly.
