‘It Was Messy': J-Hope Recalls BTS' Early Trainee Days

J-Hope shared how he taught a few things to the fellow members after joining BTS as a trainee in 2010. Anticipations are running high for the reunion of the beloved K-pop boy band BTS. Now that the members have completed their mandatory military duties and have returned to their normal lives, fans couldn't be more excited as they look forward to a grand return. BTS, which is celebrating its 12th anniversary this year, marked its last performance in 2022. Amid the excitement, J-Hope recently opened up about his early days in the group, leaving ARMYs nostalgic. In a conversation with Teen Vogue, J-Hope also spoke about his firsts, such as his first audition and first music video after returning from the military. 'I danced to Miguel's music for my first audition and created a choreography to Miguel's Sure Thing. So when I got to collaborate with Miguel recently, it felt very special, and it was an honour for me. I think auditions are all pretty much the same. It was bittersweet. While you feel a sense of relief that it's finally over, you also feel disappointed about the moments where you could've done better," J-Hope shared about his first audition. The BTS rapper went on to spill beans about his first days as a trainee with the group, revealing some unknown anecdotes. 'When I was a trainee, the first day was December 24, 2010, on Christmas Eve. I came to Seoul and went straight to the place where I was going to live with my members at the time. I had fantasised about being a trainee and expected everything to be neat and well-structured. But when I got there, it was actually very messy. That made it feel more real and human. 'Wow, this is where I'll be starting my life as a trainee,' that thought settled in. That first day was about cleaning up the mess around me," he shared. The BTS star recalled teaching dance to his fellow members. 'It's different for every member. I didn't teach dance to all the members from the start. For example, when Jung Kook first arrived, I taught him the rules of our shared dorm, and the same with V. For Jimin, I met him at the bus stop when he arrived in Seoul from Busan for the first time. I told him about what it's like to be a trainee together. For Jin, I can't really teach him the rules as he is older than me," he continued.

Miguel). First Published: July 03, 2025, 12:12 IST
