Finally, j-hope has arrived at Esquire!
Today’s TMI.
I had salmon poke salad, bibimguksu, and dumplings today
First feed let’s go
It brings back memories
Why did you stop posting polaroid feeds?
At first I wanted to do something special,
So I started posting Polaroid pictures
which I scanned myself.
But it wasn’t an easy process
Through SNS
I had many moments of my life that I wanted to share
But with the Polaroid feed,
there were limits
So in order to share more of my life with you guys
I stopped posting Polaroids.
And began to post regular feed
Next
Louis Vuitton Ambassador
What was the first Louis Vuitton item that you bought?
My first Louis Vuitton…
The very first Louis Vuitton item that I purchased was
the Supreme X Louis Vuitton line.
I remember buying it on my own.
I also have a pair of Louis Vuitton training pants that bought from Virgil Abloh’s first collection
It’s very meaningful
I even posted a picture of myself wearing it on Instagram
I wear it all the time.
The balance game!
Which one is worse?
people who make a mess whenever they visit vs. people who are never on time.
Oh no… these types of people
You gotta stop meeting them
people who are never on time.
This one is tough
I will go with the second one.
I can’t stand a tardy person.
I can always clean up when they make a mess
But being late is about
basic manners.
Harder choreography?
vs
choreo used to be very difficult
All the members thought so too
So we changed a few parts
But choreo wins. I will go for
is insane
Especially the dance break
It kills all
I remember when
we performed in ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’
we almost passed out afterwards.
Which one would you give up for the rest of your life? Seafood vs. fruits.
I would say fruits.
I really like seafood.
Emoji quiz.
carrot
Always whipping me on
The carrots are on the trophies
Betting on my life,
dancing is my cash? Is this right?
The carrots are on the trophies
Betting on my life,
dancing is my cash
Yes~
I see the chocolate so I guess it’s the one mentioning KitKat
but what comes next again
It’s hard to recall the lyrics just by looking at these emojis.
Take everything like KitKat,
tastes so sweet
Mutual relationships, so good for me
Pump some gas and I drive to the beat
Watch out everyone, I’m reckless
Emoji for ‘Watch out everyone, I’m reckless’ is so clever.
If anyone asks me
Is this right
‘Right, I lit the flame. Now I ask myself, choose what.’ Got this one immediately
Was there any memorable moment collaborating with J. Cole, your muse?
I have one.
After shooting the music video
I exchanged numbers with J. Cole
“I have so much to say but it’s a bummer my English isn’t good enough.”
But J.Cole replied by saying “Don’t feel bad for that.”
“My Korean isn’t good either”
“It was still very meaningful
When I read his texts
I was very appreciative that he was so thoughtful
I was so touched
Since he is my muse
it just felt surreal talking to him.
How was this album cover created?
I was looking for an artist for the cover then I met Lee Haesun.
I thought that she could be the one
who I could communicate well with about the work, so I contacted her
If you take a look at previous j-hope’s album cover art
It’s very colourful but this album is a bit different
It is simple yet enough, and I’m very satisfied with this fine art.
What is the message on ?
‘The way you are walking towards is your path,
and on that path I want to give positivity.’ was the story that I wanted to deliver.
Instead of giving impact,
I want to just always be there by your side.
I hope you keep these messages in mind
and relax and enjoy my music
Who was the first person that heard this single?
When the mixing was done,
there was Namjun in the next room
I went up to him and asked “Hey I just finished my song. Want you listen to it?”
He gave me feedback saying “It seems a bit too long, it might be better if you shorten it.” I took that advice.
Guess the picture
Which one is not your hat?
The first one is mine.
So is the second one.
I took this in front of the door
The third one is mine.
Not sure about the fourth one.
This one’s from .
And I wore this when I met Lady Gaga in Las Vegas.
Isn’t this Taehyung’s hat?
Right it’s Taehyung
Which one is Mickey’s ear?
They all look like Mickey’s ear.
I took the first one recently.
I knew it.
By what names did you save members on your phone?
Kim Namjun for Namjun.
Is this too simple? Seokjin hyung for Seokjin hyung.
Min Yoongi hyung for SUGA hyung.
I don’t really put cute nicknames on it. Taehyung for Taehyung.
Jungkook’s is interesting
Jeon Jungkook7 for Jungkook
And Park Jimin for Jimin.
I saved them when we first met as trainees. That must be why.
Member's reaction to your first documentary?
Taehyung sent me a picture
of himself watching it.
I was like you’re really watching it?
I felt a little shy
It is a very meaningful documentary to me
since it’s my first solo documentary.
it is a beautifully captured documentary so I think it is very special to me
Which song do you think represents BTS the most?
It’s either one with great performance
or one that shows the relationship between BTS and ARMY
I would choose
because I think it makes me think about ARMY in many ways
This song always reminds me of ARMY
And also the fans like this one very much. At least for now, I will go for this one.
(check out Esquire’s Instagram account) here’s one
I’m going to take another one
another one.
okay, it’s the last one.
I am going to take it all
Oh I like this one
after I became the ambassador of Louis Vuitton
It was my first photoshoot
wearing Louis Vuitton
Can’t wait to see the final editorials
It was a very meaningful project for me
I am so excited to share this through Esquire
Please look forward to it.
Show j-hope and Louis Vuitton lots of love.
