J-Hope on solo struggles and illness on tour; shares excitement for long-awaited BTS reunion
BTS member J-Hope will give fans a glimpse into the life of the global superstar beyond the stage lights in an upcoming installment of MBC reality show, The Manager (Omniscient Interfering View). On June 14 at 11:10 p.m. KST, the episode delivers both the electric highs and softer, more vulnerable lows of J-Hope's solo career—just as the world is counting down to a eagerly awaited BTS reunion. Life on the road: Passion, pressure, and performance A preview clip that came out on June 7 already launched anticipation into overdrive. The episode will be presenting J-Hope's tireless commitment throughout his HOPE ON THE STAGE solo tour. He can be seen carefully rehearsing dance routines, refining every show, and sticking to a disciplined regimen consisting of disciplined exercise, healthy eating, and periods of quiet contemplation. The comparison between his solo tour and group tours of BTS is telling. Where there was formerly the energy and fellowship of seven, now stands a sense of solitude and individual responsibility. "When it was [all of] BTS, we always had catering," J-Hope fondly recalls. "When it was the seven of us performing, we would always get together and sit around as one.". Now, I'm on my own.' The episode will highlight how J-Hope has adapted to this new dynamic, shouldering the pressures of a solo career while still cherishing the bond he shares with his groupmates. Battling sickness on tour One of the most insightful details is provided by J-Hope's manager, who reveals the physical price the artist paid for the tour. Throughout the demanding schedule, J-Hope became sick with a fever of 39.5°C (more than 103°F). The manager remembers J-Hope begging the medical team to "save him," a detail that has raised alarm and admiration from fans for his unbreakable dedication to the performance. Counting down to the BTS reunion Arguably the most sentimental moment of the preview is J-Hope's response to the approaching discharge of his BTS colleagues from military service. With RM, V, SUGA, Jimin, and Jungkook all due to finish their service by the end of June, the promise of a BTS reunion is finally near. "There's really less than a month left until the members are discharged," J-Hope states, visibly touched. "I can't believe BTS' release is already here. " The mere possibility of the group coming back together again after all these years gives him hope and excitement, something shared by millions of ARMYs worldwide. When and where to watch Fans looking forward to seeing this unguarded side of J-Hope can watch The Manager on June 14 at 11:10 p.m. KST on MBC. The show guarantees a special glimpse into the life of an artist who has evolved both as a performer and as an individual over the course of his solo career.
