J-Hope revealed when he was younger, he told his father he would be studying but was instead learning about his true passion, dance.

When I was younger and really into dancing, it happened to be my exam period. I would pretend to study in my room, but I was actually watching dance videos.

However, his lie soon fell through when his dad discovered what he was really doing.

I was working really hard on pretending to study and watching dance videos when my dad suddenly came into my room. At the time, I was so surprised. My dad sighed deeply and just left. I remember this memory vividly.

J-Hope said he remembers the feeling of his father’s disapproval. However, as his dad began to accept his son’s dream, he asked him to show his dance skills.

That’s why I once danced in front of my dad with no music. He told me to dance for him so I poured out my passion by dancing without any music or noise. The only sound you could hear was the sound of my clothing and my breathing. There was a time like that.

Fast forward to the present time, J-Hope’s dad is one of the most supportive people in his life and is so proud of all that his son has accomplished.

In the beginning, my dad opposed my dancing a lot. Now, he supports me more than anyone!

J-Hope’s dad only wanted the best for him and he couldn’t be more proud of the amazing young man his son has become!

Even though his dad originally disapproved, his mom always supported his dreams. Check out what J-Hope has to say about his mother’s undying love below.
