On a recent episode of the YouTube show “After Inkigayo, Let’s Go Snacking,” titled “Is Our Snack Going Global? Chaos Because of J-Hope Shining at Dawn,” BTS‘s J-Hope appeared as a guest alongside IVE’s Leeseo and ZEROBASEONE’s Han Yujin.
The singer captivated viewers with his usual charisma as he sampled newly released snacks recommended by the two idols, struggling to hide his spontaneous reactions.
Touched by the invitation, J-Hope personally prepared rice balls for the entire production team. He took the opportunity to discuss the BTS members’ varied food preferences: “Jimin, Taehyung, and Namjoon like Korean dishes like kimchi fried rice. Suga and I like to explore local cuisine when we travel. Jin hyung, on the other hand, has very fixed tastes.”
During the show, Leeseo asked him, “Have you listened to IVE’s songs?” To which J-Hope enthusiastically replied, “I listened to IVE a lot during my military service. My juniors would go crazy seeing me here with IVE. Are you watching? That’s your hyung.”
He then revealed that his favorite song from the group is “Off the Record,” even going so far as to describe some scenes from the music video, which visibly surprised Leeseo.
“For soldiers, IVE is truly royalty,” he joked, prompting laughter on set.
In return, Leeseo formed a heart-shaped rice ball and sent a message of support: “Good luck with your military service!”
The show “After Inkigayo, Let’s Go to the Snack Bar” is produced by Studio Prism. A spin-off of the SBS music show Inkigayo, it is hosted by MCs Leeseo and Han Yujin and features a lighthearted tone, friendly atmosphere, and the iconic rabbit mascot of Inkigayo’s microphones.
