BTS member J-Hope has sparked some mixed reactions among Korean netizens for his new look, as he was seen sporting grillz, during the first day of the Seoul concert of his solo world tour Hope on the Street.
Some liked this style and praised the idol for his willingness to change and evolve.

However, others considered it a bold and inappropriate transformation, which sparked widespread criticism against the idol.

Koreans’ opinions:
Some were divided that the look did not suit J-Hope and commented:
- What he is doing with his teeth is not beautiful
- Grills? It is true that many use them, but in his case it looks like his teeth are missing
- This is a strange change and I did not like it very much.
- This person has already aged
- Why does he go to America to work even though he does not speak English? It would be easier for him to work in Korea where he can communicate easily.
On the other hand, others defended J-Hope and saw that the criticisms are just exaggerated reactions, read the comments:
- Whenever J-Hope returns to the spotlight, there are those who criticize him. But the truth is that he is successful globally, and it’s no wonder that people who aren’t even his fans look up his pictures and concert clips just to criticize him.
- When some people don’t find anything to attack him, they focus on his appearance. This is an old and ineffective method.
- Here they started attacking again as soon as he resumed his activities, bringing up pictures just to criticize him ㅋㅋㅋ. But no matter how many of these posts you write, J-Hope is already successful, and he even has a separate house to live in when he works in America. As for you, you don’t seem to realize your status, you seem very frustrated. Don’t you have a mirror in your house? ㅋㅋㅋ
- With all the criticism, J-Hope continues to succeed, and even owns a house in America to work there
- The constant criticism is funny It seems that some people can’t accept his success
- Why do you care so much about his appearance? Let everyone express themselves in their own way.
- Honestly, I don’t understand why there’s such a big fuss about his teeth?
- If you don’t like it, just don’t watch it
