J-Hope revealed his special daily life in Thailand.
On the afternoon of the 21st, MBC's entertainment program ‘Jin Chan Si’ featured J-Hope and Choi Kang-hee sharing their daily lives in order.
In this episode, J-Hope from BTS appeared as the first protagonist of the observation point. After successfully finishing a concert in Bangkok, J-Hope entered his hotel and held a small party with steak and bibim-myeon.
The next morning, J-Hope went to practice choreography before filming a music video. Meeting the dancers for the first time, he led the atmosphere with his unique bright energy.
J-Hope, who said that the new song ‘Killing It Girl’ is the best among his albums, mentioned, “The members have heard it in advance. They said the song is good and the performance is great,” sharing news about BTS.
Contrary to his statement that it was his first time dancing with the dancers, he showed perfect synergy, and the practice continued for 6 hours.
After the practice, J-Hope explored the Bangkok night market with his bodyguard, known as ‘Mr. Lee’, and his hair designer. After enjoying simple snacks like Thai pancakes (roti), they entered a restaurant to enjoy a proper meal.
Song Eun-yi asked, “Is J-Hope usually gentle, but does he change a bit in the dance practice room?” To this, J-Hope replied, “I tend to keep the principle of working hard when it’s time to work and resting when it’s time to rest.”
Yoo Byung-jae surprised the panel by asking, “On the day ‘Dynamite’ hit number one on Billboard, all the members gathered to practice choreography, right? And it was even Jungkook’s birthday that day?” J-Hope responded, “We have to show a great performance on stage, so the reason we can enjoy it happily and have fun is because we put in hard work. We told ourselves not to forget this.”
When asked if being a drill instructor was influenced by food, J-Hope humorously replied, “After training, we eat. But the food is so delicious. Things like spicy rice cakes come out,” making everyone laugh.
He continued, “I thought I would be staying at this training center forever. So I thought about what to do, and I realized I should be a drill instructor. After studying for a month and passing the evaluation, I became an instructor,” adding to the surprise.
Jeon Hyun-moo admired, “You really do everything properly.”
J-Hope also mentioned that he had the flu in Mexico, saying, “I almost fainted. I said, ‘Help me.’ I found out my fever was 39.5 degrees.” He recounted a past dangerous situation, saying, “It was the day of the concert in Mexico, but my body wouldn’t move. Fortunately, there was a hospital nearby, so they checked me quickly, and I got my condition back. So I invited everyone to the concert.”
The second protagonist of the observation point was actress Choi Kang-hee. He thought he would easily memorize the script for ‘I Like Movies’, but said, “But the words didn’t come out as I thought. I couldn’t organize them either.” He continued, “I was told to take a literacy test, and it came out at a middle school second-year level. So I bought a literacy book,” explaining the reason for taking speech tutoring from an announcer.
After the tutoring, Choi Kang-hee, wearing a helmet, arrived at the gym on a motorcycle. At that time, Mi-ja, the owner of the meat restaurant and a close friend of Kang-hee, appeared, and they burned calories together.
Mi-ja said, “I was surprised when you mentioned me at the awards ceremony. The kids have never seen me cry, but I ended up tearing up. When Kang-hee cried, I cried too. Doing this work again made me think, ‘Ah, it’s okay now.’ And seeing Kang-hee look so happy made me tear up too. I felt touched because I could sense that he had overcome everything well.”
After finishing the workout, Choi Kang-hee cooked and ate kimchi noodles with konjac noodles at Mi-ja’s restaurant. At that time, Director Yang Kwan-sik came in and ordered meat and steamed eggs, followed by other customers.
Mi-ja expressed her feelings in a heartfelt interview, saying, “Kang-hee, I’m glad you’re doing the acting you do best again. But if you’re struggling and don’t want to do it, you don’t have to. I really hope you find happiness.”
‘Jin Chan Si’ airs every Saturday at 11:10 PM on MBC.
