J-Hope’s humble answer on BTS’ impact in the industry woos fans; netizens share reactions online

BTS member J-Hope recently sat down with Zane Lowe for an in-depth interview about his life as an idol and more. The idol talked about his time in the military and shared intimate details with fans during the interview. One specific part of the interview where J-Hope talked about BTS’ impact and legacy had fans reacting to the idol, saying, “This is why I like them.”
The idol got candid about his time in the military and how he dealt with all of the challenges that were thrown his way. The singer shared that his time was a different experience altogether. He shared that “It’s a different experience. Also, in reality, I’ve learnt a different life. And in many ways, I got to meet people from all walks of life, and I received a lot of good energy.”
The idol also shared more personal details in the show and talked about how his strict family and upbringing altogether shaped him as a person. He shared that “I was raised strictly because my dad was a teacher. But now, more than anyone, he has been very supportive. 'Oh, I'm so proud of what you're doing. I'm always thinking about how I'll be your No. 1 supporter as a father’.”
The most heartfelt and touching moment of the interview came when J-Hope started talking about and addressing the popular phrase 'BTS paved the way'. The phrase has been used by ARMYs time and time again online as an ode to their legacy in the music industry.
The singer expressed gratitude towards everything and shared that “I'm very flattered that I was able to play a significant role in K-pop,” he shared. “Every time I hear things like that, it gives me a sense of responsibility. If that helps pave the way for other K-pop artists to shine in a positive light, I would be most honoured, happy, and proud of myself.”
He also added to the statement, saying that “I don’t consider myself solely responsible for K-pop’s rise. It’s the teamwork, our fans, and every artist who’s come before us that paved the way.”
Fans on a global level took to social media platforms to praise the idol for his humble words and share how proud and happy they are to be BTS fans.




While addressing the topic of their reunion, J-Hope enthusiastically shared that he is looking forward to the BTS get-together again. He shared that “Over time, we each refined our unique identities as each of us worked on our own music, came out with our solo projects, and did our own thing. The funny thing for me is when our identities, which have taken shape in various ways, come together as BTS, I’m curious to see what it’ll look like.”
