About J-Hope's evil side. [BTS FESTA RADIO]–
Jimin, "J-Hope is a bright guy, laugh a lot and has become hopeful like his name. J-Hope has good energy that affects everyone in a good way and I think J-hope is awesome. And people think he's always nice and innocent. But, inside his smiley face, there's an evil living there. J-Hope winds me up all the time but never stop smiling even when he does that. But you can never punch someone who looks so happy like that. One day, I was sleeping and all of sudden he poked me and shook me saying, 'Jiiiimiiiiiiiin, wake up and play with me!!!!' So, I woke up. But right after I opened my eyes, he just grinned at me and went back to sleep like nothing happened. So I thought, 'Uuuugh! I can never say anything to him cause he's older than me!' And once, he told me he would give me a massage and started squeezing the back of my neck, and that got tighter and tighter! He was smiling at then too! At the end I wat getting upset but he didn't stop it. He was doing it even harder and said, 'This will relax your muscles.' When I was sitting down at the rehearsal room during the break, he head locked me. He hit me once and left the room so I looked at him with a serious face for a second. J-Hope, the timid, came to the room only after three seconds and gave me some mischievous hugs and said, 'Jimin! Are you upset at me? Are you?? You are not! Aren't you??' Chuckling hard, he left the room after 10 seconds. What should I do with him?"
J-Hope Greetings, "Hi!! I'm your hope, konichiwa BTS no J-Hope desu, nihao wo shi J-hope." [J-Hope write his profile]
