'Everyone has that': BTS's J-Hope reflects on high school crush and innocent youth with TWICE's Sana
In a rare and tender moment, BTS's J-Hope looked back on the memories of his teenage years during a recent episode of 'Fridge Interview,' which is hosted by TWICE's Sana.' The episode, which aired on June 19, offered fans a nostalgic glimpse into the softer, more introspective side of the global superstar. A glimpse into J-Hope's school days J-Hope, known offstage as 'Jung Hoseok,' shared that he was a quiet and reserved student during his school years. Attending a co-ed organisation where boys and girls were separated into different classes, he admitted that social interactions were limited, especially since his father was a literature teacher at the same school. This added pressure made him even more cautious about his behaviour. Despite his efforts to stay focused in class, J-Hope confessed that he occasionally found himself distracted by a classmate he had a crush on. 'Of course, everyone has that during school,' he said with a shy smile, calling it 'a beautiful time in life.' A memory shared with sincerity The way J-Hope described his youthful feelings of sneaking glances at his crush but never having the courage to speak to her was relatable enough with the fans. His honesty and softness got stuck, reminding viewers that even global icons carry memories of innocent, unspoken affection. Sana also felt relatable in the feeling, calling those moments 'innocent and sweet.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Handmade Painted 3D Book Mug Designed By A Famous Engineer is Sweeping Western Australia SOLYMALL Shop Now Undo Their shared reflections created a warm and relatable atmosphere that fans described as 'BangTWICE crumbs,' which is a nod to the cherished interactions between BTS and TWICE over the years.
