All of the BTS members are amazing dancers, but J-Hope is considered to be the leader. Even the members said that J-Hope plays an important role in their dance training.
Fans even noted multiple times that they have not seen J-Hope slip-up in BTS’s choreography. Now, a K-pop idol trainer analyzes the 26-year-old rapper, songwriter, dancer, and record producer’s 15-second solo part in “On.”
Although J-Hope’s part in “On” is pretty quick, the K-pop idol trainer said that is was the most difficult one. He noted that the BTS rapper’s part comes right after the first chorus, where the beat was changed and sliced up.
“This specific part has a three-part sound that connects it to the next dance move and beat. It is even in this tiny detail that J-Hope breaks down the three-part beat into three dance moves. The trainer reveals that usually for moves that connect to the next move don’t need to be that detailed, but J-Hope pays attention to even the smallest of details,” as per Koreaboo. (See full analysis here).
He then shared that there are so many things to analyze in J-Hope’s 15-second part, which surprised him given the fact that it was too short. The K-pop idol trainer then praised the BTS star’s attention to detail.
J-Hope was a part of the underground dance team Neuron and took dance classes at Gwangju Music Academy before joining BTS. Prior to his debut, he is already known for his dancing skills and won various local dance competitions. He even placed first in a national dance competition in 2008.
Meanwhile, 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.”
