J-HOPE's Killing Verse reaction | Metal Musician Reacts 

J-Hope truly belongs on stage. He was born to be performer

*JUNG HOSEOK is the STAGE PRESENCE HIMSELF*

I've never seen a performer like j-hope. It's just a known thing in ARMY that you come out of a concert j-hope biased. It happened to me. I was a Jimin-bias of 8 months but Hobi had me screaming his name at the top of my lungs the whole show. It's hard to command a stage with 6 other BTS members on it but he does and he makes it look easy. Also, his rap style is so versatile. I think since he has such instinctual musicality, he's able to do a lot to play around with the verses will still understanding how to work the beat to make you move. He really takes advantage of his dance background to come up with flows that hit just right. And then his voice has so much texture and variety and character that he's really able to switch it up. Melody, tone, rasp, belts, falsettos, grimy deep notes...he's got a big bag of tools and the confidence to use them all. He's really 1 of 1. There's never been a rapper/performer like him and I really feel like he adds so much color to the hip hop and rap world. Someday we're going to see hip hop artists coming up and say things like "he/she has a j-hope flow." He's out here innovating. And I really agree that people don't give him enough credit. Intro vids start him off by saying "he didn't rap before bts" but neglect to mention that he grew up steeped in hip hop and has currently been rapping and writing for 10 years (just a couple less than RM & Suga). He's also non-traditional and I think therefore less accessible to western ears. We hear RM & Suga and we recognize that as rap we're more used to so we immediately ascribe more value to it. And then in all areas of art people tend to value dark or painful things over bright and optimistic things, deeming them more "intellectual" or "authentic," completely forgetting the fact that joy and hope are some of the most powerful emotions in the human experience. So because RM & Suga tend to rap about darker topics (loneliness, depression, diss-tracks, etc), it's seen as more legitimate. Also because Hobi chooses to integrate melody and sometimes opts for flows that ride the beat a little more, people don't recognize his agility or speed. He's demonstrated both, but they're not associated with him and people tie things like speed to difficulty. I think RM is a prodigy when it comes to rap. There are few rappers in this world who have his level of ability. But Suga and j-hope are both god tier rappers and, between the three, I really think any ranking comes down to stylistic preference. And that's even hard too because they all do what they do so well that for me personally it's more of a mood thing. But my point is that j-hope is INCREDIBLY skilled. No one can fault his technical ability when it comes to rap. He's a phenomenal rapper. And his style is so unique that I think his optimistic lyrics and his stylistic switch-ups are a defining part of BTS' signature sound.

4:46 Yes! Hobi just *belongs* on stage. It's always been like that. Since debut. The others came across as exceptional rookies, but j-hope was a full-fledged artist and performer ever since the beginning. Coming from someone who doesn't have him as a bias, Hobi is really extraordinary, and so damn impressive, and I love it when people recognize that! 💜😊💜

I agree in everything said about Hobi. From being underestimated to still be making it even if he's not part of BTS. Seokjin said it once too. That no matter what Hobi be doing, he'll be successful. Hobi's music reflects his drive to become a well-rounded performer and his attention to detail is found throughout BTS' and his solo projects. Sometimes, it's the smallest vocal inflection or lyric that makes all the difference. The only musician I believe that sounds better in live than the recording.

The JK and j-hope duet in Wings is one of the best things I've ever heard.

Please please please, you can fanboy over J-hobi anytime you want! I will be here for it! I love to see Hope being appreciated! I personally don't think he gets the accolades he deserves. He is the ultimate trifecta! His dance, rap and vocal skills (IMO) are second to none! Then we got his visuals which are off the charts (he's soooo good lookin' OMG), his personality and charisma, his sense of humor, warm heartedness, his love for his members and ARMY! As for his stage presence, well holy fricken crap! His swag and stage presence deserve their own zip code! Never seen ANYONE do it like he does it! He's my UB and I'm proud of him! I love to see other J-hope bias' showing our dance king some love and attention! Please go on with your bad self The Champ Of Medium, I'm loving every minute of it! PS. I am an OT7 girl but there is just something about J-hope that hits me differently. Can't help it, I dunno....

J-hope’s mesmerizing. His stage presence is unbelievable. No one can reach J-hope’s level of Dancing and Live Performances. He owns the stage. Even when he performs some solo songs in freestyle without dancing he still manages to cheer the crowd. J-HOPE🛐🛐🛐

J-hope is an absolute superstar. He really brings so much flavor and swag to every song. His verses are so amazing. Hoping to hear more from him and rapline in future releases

I miss seeing him on stage, real stage with real audience, where he can see ARMY face to face, this man belongs on the stage, and i wish i could see him irl someday 😍

"it's called sex appeal friends" ohh yes it is sir yesss it is 😂

Jhope is a born performer

the texture and emotion in Hoseok's rapping is insane. add in his stage presence and charisma... wow. add his crazy dance skills... GOLDEN HYUNG ✨✨✨

j-hope is like the ultimate ACE there's nothing this man can't do

I love seeing a fanboy fanboying j-hope because it the coolest thing. And all u said abt j-hope i agree. And his vocal is so amazing and he can still sang so well despite being all running n jumping. j-hope is ACE 🔥

I loved your reaction! And yes Hoseok was born to become a star. I am a music fan who loves different genres, likes old music from 60s , 70s, rock, metal, R&B, jazz etc, have seen many bands and performers live and Hobi as a performer is definitely up there with the best, amazing charisma, stage presence and vocal stability, it is amazing and I agree with you that live he sounds even better than on recordings. Also if you are interested in his singing voice there are good live compilations just with the singing bits.

J-Hope can play all the emotions. He is my laughing button and my crying button.

I enjoyed so much this video! I just I can't get enough when it's comes to praises for J-hope... he's a best on stage a star on his element!! Hobi is too talented ISTG 💜

Truly j-hope's swagger, confidence and charisma on stage is unparalleled

HOBI KING OF FLOW HOBI KING OF THE STAGE HOBI LEGEND They forgot 2nd Grade verse, but it's fine.

He really is an energy bomb. Jhope's "just dance" live in his white suit is everything. It always gets me

I agree whole heartedly with every single thing you said. J-Hope is a freaking ICON.

I think I am also a Hobi bias, thank you for this video. My impression is that he is someone who wears his heart on his sleeve, and I love him for it!

Ho-seok Is my Man too ... he's so fvcking talented

So funny you talked about SUGA's school. Hobi wasn't a rapper at all. He learned from scratch. RM and Suga were his mentors. And yes he always said that he had to work extra hard for people to recognize him as a Rapper.He always felt like he had to proove himself m. Suga said he is phenomenal and that he hadn't reached his limit yet. And RM said he envy Hobi stage presence. And yes he is a showman. He is so good live.

J-Hope the stage king He's so expressive with his moves He also is a unique artist, with unique rapping style

Hoseok is a PERFORMANCE GOD

J-Hope is the ultimate entertainer. His performance is always spectacular because he gives more than we anticipate.

YES OH MY GOD. HIS COMMAND OF THE STAGE IS INSANE!!! He is an insane performer, 100% born to be on stage.

It's okay. I've been an army since 2014 and I haven't keep up to their contents as well(except their music) 😂 and I love it when my boy hobi is being complimented so yep! you nice, keep going.

I love Hobi!

J-hope performance here is extraordinary full of swag,,,,oh My God he’s out of this world I’m so happy for him

I always love HOBI's part in every songs , his vocal , his capability to deliver the song , and his performance was so cameraable , yet the vocal quality was so so good....i never underestimate him at all 💜💜💜

Jhope is my bias. I also love the change in his voice.

Love you, for loving our Hobi.

hoseok is what a real performer and artist sounds like, his mix of dancing rapping singing with his top tier stage prescence and charisma, also his voice has so much versatility his adlibs and tone are on another level

Every time a bts song drops you'd hear everyone saying that hobi's verse is their favorite I don't think he's underrated but of course hope deserve every bit of love and support we can give him

Love JHope so much,, My biass, my sunshine 💜💜💛💛

When it comes to the stage j-hope become the man who own it. A hardworking humble person....

j-hope is simply the best 🔥

your hobi reactions are always my faves! Love that dude so much, he deserves the world :')

Seriously he has great stage presence. He is a brilliant performer born for stage.

HOBI WAS BORN TO BE A PERFORMER!!!

I think he's a performer through and through, and he knows his voice and dance so well that he can achieve exactly the effect he wants. It's easy to see that RM is a lyrical genius, Suga rides a flow like no other, but j-hope's superpower is his ability to take the listener/viewer on a journey. The reason he likes his melodic, quick-switching rap over just fast or aggressive rap, is I think he has an understanding of how to engage and entertain an audience, even better than RM or Suga. That's j-hope's true talent to me.

hobi is my boy too, can`tt with him

Thank you so much. I feel the same. He is awesome. He has a cute snarky way of putting fools in their place, with a smile and they don’t realized they been cut til it’s too late. Oooh you said what I’ve been thinking. He sings like he dances.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

JHOOOOOOOOOOPEEEEEEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜💜🥰🥰🥰🥰

With j-hope he's so unique it's hard to focus! He has a very unique style and he knows exactly how to express himself thru singing, dancing, writing, he's the whole package. He's so talented, he's beyond the mold. Totally agree he's a total star (excited for what he brings to the table!) Edit: thanks for your reaction, it felt like we were partying with j-hope!

I wish there was a live performance of Boy Meets Evil. Not the dance which is fantastic but a rap(vocal) performance. I think it’s one of his best that gets overshadowed by his amazing dance.

Wish I can like this more than once and I agree with you!

I truly believe that Hobi is a once-in-a-generation performer. He deserves to be an icon. It's unfortunate that for a lot of people they only realise it when they go to a concert and experience him in the flesh, but us Hobi stans know what's up already.

Totally agree with you. During live performance, it hits differently and I feel they’re better live. J Hope live is beautiful to watch. He just knows how to move and flow and grabs your attention.

he has been a SUPER star since day one .. and I'm not exaggerating go watch their debuts videos and you could see it urself he is getting better and better every day but he was out with 10\10 from the start I agree with you man he is out of this world I have known BTS for almost 5 years now and yet he never stopped surprising me with his abilities .. you will never catch me pretending to know what is he coming with, thinking of or what is next in the table .. he has shown us A LOT .. more than I ever need to stan an artist for and yet it feels like nothing compared to what he actually has I love BTS so much but I keep thinking about how it'll be if hoseok was a solo that is how curious I'm + HE IS THE BEST PERFORMER EVER

Stage presence personified right there. 🤘 Great compilation.

his verses always my favourite ... wow talented

That's why he is the richest member because his solo stuff sells so good

J-HOPE. THIS MAN. DANCE GOD. STAGE PRESENCE GOD. STAGE GOD.

we were robbed of dozens of live concert performances of UGH!

Timing is perfect for this (and ngl, I 😢 a bit) coz definitely needed some Hobi appreciation after a bit of drama yesterday. He is so, so amazing, in every way possible 💜💜

13:47 you said what you said period.

always loving your reaction to hobiiiii💜

j-hope is an ace!!

Jhope is gorgeous inside and out.

My official favorite Hobi reactor!! All the things that have been said are on point.

You got me smiling the entire video, I love that guy

You had me smiling all the way through. Thanks! I needed that. But omg pausing *twice* before the spin and geyser move killed me! Anticipation overload! 😋

Didn't know about this video til you reacted to it, thank you so much!! You're right Jhope needs more recognition that he deserves.

j-hope nasceu pra brilhar!! Não é atoa que ele é o próprio sunshine 🥺💜

YESS HOBI APPRECIATION

everyone loves the hopekook harmonization for outro wings. you are not alone 💜

Oh yeaaaahhhh!!! I'm totally enjoying your reactions and definitely enjoying j-hope too! Yeah, he really has star quality, like he has so many points that will carry him a loooooong way, even if, as you said, he goes on his own. He has that capability 🔥 Thanks for this! I enjoyed it! Cheers!

He is a star.

You’ve always been one of my favorite BTS reactors. Thank you!

You will be mesmerised to watch J Hope's performance at Lollapalooza, I 'w waiting for your reaction.

an ICON from the seven icons :):):):):):) sunshine hobi .

0:17 * sits down beside you and joins you *

The stage is where he belongs. Dance or Rap, he kills it

Jhope is amazing, he is king swagger, and i like his rap funk!

The song that you said you haven't heard is Hip hop lover. Great song.

You are less than half way through their entire group and member discography. 🤪

i didn't think watching this dude crush on hobi for 19 min straight would give me this much entertainment, but here we are... Also, ma bro.... hard same. to everything you said. just... same.

character and charisma is it ! his stage presence is mad ! like he's SEXY

That appreciation that u show for J-Hope, that’s why you got me to subscribe to your channel! I love OT7 and I think people are so not see how talented and artistic and versatile he really is as a singer and rapper as well as a amazing dancer. Not even talking about his handsomeness and carisma. 💜🫰🏻💜💜💜 thanks for giving them a chance and take time to appreciate BTS’s talents. 💜💜💜💜

I can see love in your eyes when you look at Hobi cause I’m just like that too lol

Our Hobi 💜💜💜💜 yeah he would be successful even on his own -- i love him so much 💜💜💜💜

Dude he is . His hope mix is no. 1 in 50 countries . When they out group together it was said it wouldn’t make it without him . Also Managment said in interview that they were promised BTS would not hinder their success and the trhe 3 rappers were the pillars to the group . Now BTS has risen to global stardom not just by name but by actual love of music and talent because of the rappers and especially JHOPE . Now to all of us that can see the real talent and please not taking away from singers but the legendary forever like Freddie Mercury talent 40 years later stronger then ever is JHOPE and we all want to see more of him in BTS but believe me nee to them dec 2021 by choice we all are seeing what you see . Everyone knows JHOPE is the Rick star of the group and will go on to bigger and better things with BTS . He has too .

I can't believe tomorrow wasn't included there. I personally really love his verse in that song.

The king of stage present

He's good in everything he does. 🙌

Jhoooooooooooopppeeee 😍😍😍

Yes to all that well-deserved j-hope appreciation!! Hobi has some mind-blowing stage presence and he brings such a bold flavour to everything he does. It's like every verse has this uniquely j-hope fingerprint. At 10:32 the song you felt had a very j-hope flair was meant to be exactly that. IIntro: Skool Luv Affair has the rap line rapping about love in their own way before finally coming to the Bangtan-style. So hobi's verse was him showing it in his own style with a beat that is full of hope hehe. FYI, the Bangtan-style music which follows hobi's was sampled for RM's Persona. Anyway, I absolutely love seeing hobi in his element. He thrives and comes to life on stage. It's a sight to behold!

Hobi is always the king on stage!!🔥💜💜💜

J-hope, he's my boy.💜💜

Yeyyyyy my boy🔥🔥🔥💜

J-Dope is so perfect 👑👍👑

You understand me and Hobi stans THANK YOUU !!

Agreed. The swag is off the charts. 🔥

Jhope você é um talento!

I think it's just hard to compliment him honestly. He's really good at disappearing and allowing others to have their moment and then when it's his turn he's just there and it's impossible to notice anything but him. His confidence makes him a very commanding presence and he can turn it on and off at will. It seems like there is so much that he can do exceptionally well that really all you can say about him is he's perfect. You can compliment the talents of the other members all day but Hobi is just perfect.

You made my day with J-Hoppeee
