The Special Reason J-Hope Ends Mona Lisa With A Shoutout To ARMY
Last Updated:
J-Hope shared that whenever he performs the song Mona Lisa, he always says to ARMY, 'You're my masterpiece.'
BTS' J-Hope continues to set the bar high when it comes to artist-fan relationships. Despite his global stardom, the rapper remains grounded and deeply connected to ARMY. Known for his heartfelt gestures, J-Hope consistently goes the extra mile, be it through surprise live sessions, thoughtful giveaways or sincere messages. His unwavering gratitude and efforts to include fans in his journey truly reflect his humility and love for ARMY.
Recently, the rapper appeared for an interview with Billboard, where he dedicated his single Mona Lisa to his fans. The rapper revealed that every time he performs the song, he makes it a point to say, 'You're my masterpiece," addressing ARMY. According to him, it's the fans who truly shape an artist. Expressing heartfelt gratitude, J-Hope said, 'Because of you guys, all of this is possible. That's something I always make sure to express."
As soon as Billboard dropped the video, fans flooded the internet with their reactions in response to J-Hope's message to them. One of them wrote, 'He is our inspiration too. He's the best artist we could've asked for." Another fan commented, 'Ohhh I'm crying, you are honestly so amazing, J-Hope!" Someone else wrote, 'WE ALL GONNA CRY."
While answering the question about his upcoming album, J-Hope dropped quite a few hints, enough to send the fans into a frenzy. He revealed that the new album will channel a more mature vibe than his previous one and will be a little 'sexier." The rapper also revealed that he would love to collaborate with Rihanna someday. Wondering when the Umbrella singer will drop her next album, J-Hope remembered his childhood days when he used to listen to her songs. 'She's an artist that I've always loved since I was a kid," the K-pop idol stated.
J-Hope has been keeping incredibly busy with new music projects post his military discharge in October last year. Since then, the BTS rapper has made several international appearances and, in February, kicked off his first solo world tour, Hope On The Stage. The tour saw him perform across the globe, including stops in the USA, Japan, Singapore, Mexico, Indonesia, and his home country, South Korea.

‘We called them vintage clothes…': Miley Cyrus reveals how she used to hide drug expenses from her accountant
Miley Cyrus is no stranger to reinvention. From Disney Channel sweetheart to chart-topper, the 32-year-old pop star has carved a career defined by transformation. But on the Every Single Album podcast, Cyrus opened up about her early experiences with drugs and the chaos that shaped her 2015 experimental album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz. The singer gave fans an intimate look into what she now sees as a wild chapter in her life. 'The drugs were the biggest cost,' she admitted.'Which, to hide those from my accountant, we called them vintage clothes.' A post shared by Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus) Cyrus didn't shy away from revealing a few details. 'She [the accountant] would get these checks. That happens on touring all the time,' Miley explained. 'And every time she saw me, she'd be like, 'Where's that, like, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?' And I'd say, 'Oh, it's upstairs.'' The star continued, 'We just really want to protect it. It's really delicate. The fabric…got to take care of it! So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year.' That 'vintage' wardrobe, of course, was code for her extravagant drug use. As she looks back, Cyrus is also full of gratitude. 'I'm so glad I survived that time in my life,' she said. 'I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard, but the fact that I got through it… I'm very glad I got to do it.' The singer has since been on a journey of sobriety. In an old 2017 interview with Billboard, she described herself as 'evolving' after quitting marijuana. She's been sober since 2019, aside from a brief relapse during the pandemic. These days, sobriety is non-negotiable: 'That's like my God. I need it,' she says. On the work front, Cyrus recently brought fans to tears with a rendition of one of her most nostalgic songs — The Climb, a ballad from Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009) that once defined her Disney era. She also joked about how her drummer boyfriend, Maxx Morando, has been waiting since middle school to play this song.
