j-hope Live - 11/3

그냥 저냥 자기전 (Geunyang Juhnyang Jagijun)
just to hang/for no reason before bed

My commentary in green.

🎶I've Got You Under My Skin - Frank Sinatra
oh i got a blemish around my eye ..it hurts so much
hiii

🐹💬whatcha doing j-hope?

just chilling before bed~ just before i sleep~
did you wrap your concert well today, jin hyung?
...no more messages (from jin).. i wonder if he went to sleep -_-

💬j-hope it's midnight i have to go to sleep early to wake up
that's right.. true true true
that is true

how long has it been since i've done a live? it feels like it's been a whileee
yea my hair is crazy rn
my hair has grown so much

jakldfgjal;dfjg;lajdfglkafdg.

like... can you NOT sir?? i am hanging. by. this. much. to. my. sanity.

i just turned it on before going to bed
i don't really have a reason~

i've seen recently..
before turning on this live i saw that recently..

oh i like michael jackson too
michael jackson is a legend a legendd

anyway before turning on the live
i saw that Jung Kook ... for SIX hours.. yea... YEA..

he did a gaming live for SIX HOURS.. seriously
seems like he's been doing it pretty often these days?

i honestly didn't watch all of it
i was like how should i watch.. but
that angle and everything .. like it's so fascinating .. like he legit set himself up like a real gaming streamer

💬hobi, let's watch the documentary together
docoumentary? documentary how did you watch it?
documentary~

i actually got it in advance and watched it...
was it this? i think it was this file ::plays a file from his computer of his documentary::
not sure if it's the same as what you guys saw
i first got this file and watched it and did think to myself like 'how did i do this?'

💬love you *husband
YEHHH
love you too

*서방님 (suhbangnim)- "husband" but this makes me think that this was a wv translated comment from (some other language to Korean) because this is an outdated way to say "husband" - it's sorta the equivalent of how wives might address their husbands backkkk in the day "my lord/dear husband OR a way for older relatives to refer to their son-in-law (this is still a relevant use but still a little on the stiffer side) - no one currently would use this word to address their hubs unless it was to be ironic/sarcastic/intentionally weird

movie..
i mean i assume you'll all enjoy the movie

💬did you just shower?
yea i just showered

the next choreo? next is the choreography.. what do you mean? BTS choreography?

💬do i have to wait to watch the IMAX documentary? i got my tickets already. I'm very excited. likely another wonky wv comment translation or perhaps the user typed it in incorrectly; user probably meant to write 'i can't wait' not 'do i have to wait'
thank youu

just the..
anyway it was a tour that started in march and went til june right..
if you watch it.. well i guess if you were able to come, if you were able to come to the concert especially
you might feel like 'oh yea at that time it was like this, at that time it was like that'..

but this movie was mostly filmed during the june concerts, the last concerts.. i think those feelings will come through really strong..

💬do the spaghetti dance please
spaghetti dance? like this? was it like this? ::gentle seated spaghetti moves::
ah spaghetti
that's right

💬why did you stay away [off of live] for so longgg?
i knoww T_T what could i have been doing.. i don't remember but

anyway.. before talking about spaghetti..
this movie
i ..it was a different *color

*색다른 느낌 (saekdareun neukkim) - a new/different experience
색 (saek) - color; 다른 (dareun) - different; 느낌 (neukkim) - feeling/feels/vibe depending on context
if you've been here a while, you've seen me talk about this before - Koreans use "color" to describe the 'vibe/essence' of things a lot. New colors are used to describe new seasons of life, new challenges they're experiencing, new ways they've grown/developed, etc. so you'll hear color language metaphorically a lot! keep an eye out? ear open? for it and you'll start to hear it in a bunch of kcontent

*neukkim is the same word from RM's feature on Balming Tiger's "sexy neukkim" - "sexy vibes/feels/feeling"

it was truly a whole new world (in terms of experiences, being on this tour)

i did work really hard so .. i think that part was/will stay really memorable for me

please have so much fun at the movie!

💬it's my birthday today j-hope
happy birthday

💬did you finish recording?
yes i finished recording..yea i'm done recording for BTS

i think the members too.. they're probably nearly all done
we're all working hard preparing for BTS
and i think it's coming out really well, i'm satisfied with it
we're at the stage where we're doing some minor fixes while catching the details

💬do you like the songs?
i.. i mean i like them?

no, since it's BTS stuff I can't do a ton of spoilers
but i like them

💬what does the next execution of BTS episodes?
...i think this was translated too literally - i have no idea what that means

💬do i have plans to dye or change up my hair?
dye my hair? no dyeing my hair...
do i want to do it? not yet?
i don't know, maybe

all these articles are popping up again that we're going on a world tour..
who knows if i might change my mind on the tour..

diabolical this smile. d i a b o l i c a l. SIR. relaxxxx

cuz we'll be on tour for a whilee

oh please. may the tour be long enough that the members can AMPLY rest at each location and allow as many ARMY to see them as reasonably possible. we don't need fast! we just need opportunity at all - but first and foremost that you're all HEALTHY and not running on fumes at or between performances T_T

💬album genre?
i cannot say too much...

💬what's coming in december??
what might be coming in december? i mean i guess just the end of the year i suppose
heh ..uhh.. an end to the year kind of end-of-year situation

-____- he gave us nothing. but it's okay i don't like spoilers. in a world where everything can be pre-reviewed, judged, sorted before being experienced in real time in earnest - i relish in any solid surprises as an adult. we've grown too good at anticipating things. for WHAT? i guarantee you it's not because we enjoy having a surprise spoiled. IF it's because you want to be the first to show to others that you saw it coming.. relax.. lol let yourself and the internet be delighted and caught off guard by something NICE for once 🤣😘💜🫰🏻

we gotta get ready .. what could there possibly be..

however.. november 👀

it's possible there might be something fun..

bb squirrel lovesss the tease and can't lie for sht.. so just enjoy his tiny squeee moment as he giggles knowing he knows something we don't and is BURSTING at the seams to share but can't..

ARMY - we're all cooked. it's gonna be so good. we're all gonna cry SO. MUCH. ...gonna look at tissue stocks for next spring cuz we're gonna snatch them up. tissues and electrolytes cuz of the amount we'll cry. mark my words lmao

💬are there Korean songs?
...it's a Bangtansonyeondan album ..if Korean wasn't on the album ..that wouldn't be right, no?

j-hope spoke their full government name in answering this question. what dingus asked this loll... i love that j-hope is literally sunshine in one second and his tfdidyoujustsay face can scare the crap out of me in the next second #terrifiedofjhope

it's true~ you should sleep you should sleep

💬jo...what? what is this?
💬listen to *george van joru music..
mm but my notebook (laptop) rn ..
i recently got all new equipment
so i updated cubase to 14PRO
but my battery is at 9% rn
what george who? george.. george.. george what?

i'm sorry i have no idea who is being referenced here and neither did jhope apparently lol if you know who ARMY was talking about - feel free to share in comments!

"Georgie what spell what" (in ENG - um jhope's English is so cute wAow)

💬feels like you're gonna drop a spoilers

are you all doing well?

oh should i just talk about spaghetti?
💬it's good for night listening
i'll just turn on spaghetti - on spotify

Beatle Beatle Beatles

💬what is hobi's favorite song?
i dnno what i like these days.. i just listen to playlists
actually these days.. i just listen to playlists.. and a jpop song popped up
and it's Kenshi Yonezu..
SO good at producing

🎶1991 - Kenshi Yonezu

friends. listen to this song. it's a whole vibe. he kindaaa sounds like V but a very different vibe~ quite interesting

::vibing to this song::

RIGHT? it's got such a vibe.. yonezukenshi is so good at producing
like personally? i think a STUNNINGLY noteworthy level of producing

💬spaghetti is such a vibe
thank you!

::vibing to spaghetti::

🎶Spaghetti - LE SSERAFIM & J-Hope

::vibing to spaghetti::

this song.. they came to me with this song around April? April they let me hear this song..
yea April.. when i was on tour.. they contacted me
right, so while i was on tour i listened to this music
when i first heard this music.. where was I again?
where was it?
i don't remember the location but i remember the hotel vibe and stuff..
yea around april may.. maybe may? it could've been may
during the Asia leg of the tour..

so i heard this song
and the song was just so good
the song was so good and just..
when i felt it.. if i may say so
it kinda had a Charli XCX vibe too ~in a good way
then i thought to myself that if i rapped on this i'd be able to do it well in like a really funky way
i heard the song and just decided to do it
and then i got the theme
the theme also really resonated with me i think
[felt like] i could write about the story i'm writing now..
and i've been watching LE SSERAFIM since before i went to the military
no, even before the military
so i've always been cheering them on
so if i could be of some help, i thought that would be good
i don't know if it was helpful but

and i felt their [LE SSERAFIM's] commitment/passion/intensity
that played a BIG part
that's how i came to do it

we all know j-hope has the biggest heart. there's this thing that happens when you see someone trying their best with everything they have (however imperfectly) - you can't help but be compelled to want to help if you're able. he recognizes that hunger [that he has embodied since day 1] and will always try to fan the flame in others too. all 7 of them - so compellingly committed and so compelled to cheer on others. it's a new month, that goal that you've been pushing off? get to it. you can. december you will be glad you started - imperfect, tired, wonky - START it. ::also talking to myself::

it must've been one of the album tracks..
rap.. i think i did quite a few revisions on the rap
the last rap revision..
oh ..lolla.. Berlin lolla
even on the plane on the way to lollapalooza berlin i kept revising the rap
i kept listening to my verse over and over
fussing over which pronunciation of each word sounded best
and kept writing the rap..

but now looking back, i do think the rap came out well
i mean just personally
but i mean that said.. what is perfection right?
there's always little things that could be improved i suppose
but i sincerely did do my best

oh but i saw them recently our LE SSERAFIM friends
they were so kind to show me lots of gratitude
i was so grateful to be greeted that way
but my concern was like.. these friends are SO busy..
like would it be okay (for them) to come see me?) because they're SO busy
they must be exhausted.. in like any spare time they should be resting up
to said they would like to personally come out to thank me..
i mean [in that case] i certainly have no reason to refuse.. it would be silly to refuse
we've thanked each other for so many things
and we still cheer each other when we can!

despacito

💬Argentina?
I want to go to Argentina
thinking of Argentina .. makes me think of soccer

wanna know something funny? it's TMI
you know how the kids are all doing game streams these days, like Jung Kook and all that
well I play games too
hehehehehe
funny right?
i'm in my thirties
i play soccer games, soccer games
why are soccer games so fun why are soccer games so fun?
maybe because i've always liked soccer?
back in the day Jung Kook did that world cup, 2022 world cup right?
i watched that world cup before i went to the military
Jung Kook did that song
back then i played soccer games too but why are soccer games so fun even now?
i just play on playstation
but like.. i'm not like super.. i just play it here and there, yea
here and there just now and then

💬has my soccer skill improved?
i can't play real soccer
i can't play real soccer
i just control my character on the monitor screen well
oh this dopamine is no joke
but when i play games my thoughts temporarily stop

so that's what i'm up to

and i exercise here and there
but actually lately i haven't been able to
it's been so cold in Korea

💬tiktok?
i should do some tiktoks
okay i'll think about it seriously forreal..

when we have some more margin/free time we'll try to do Run BTS

💬oh the toys behind me?
the toys?? they're not toys..

the not-toys-in-question. he mumbles something after but i can't hear lol

💬Jin's asleep huh
yea i think Jin hyung just sent that one message and passed out

💬how you doing?
i'm doing well~

💬imma do my nails - what color should i do?
nails? oh yea.. thinking back i used to do my nails too huh
nails are about your preference

idk why but this moment has made me unwell. don't come for me.

💬beautiful hair

at like 5am? 6am i go to bed late
and i wake up at like 11am? 12pm
these days my lifestyle pattern is really bad

so when i wake up i just drink a glass of juice
and go to my schedule
or go to the company for meetings
or BTS meetings
or personal meetings
and just spend my time...and when i come back i always come home before 6pm

you said my voice sounds hard to hear?

there's so many things being talked about lol

💬what kinda special powers would you want?
what kinda special powers would i wanttt... special power... hmm.. teleportation?

💬your hair looks like a fluffy puppy(this sounds harsher than it sounds, read it in good humor/playful teasing -not as insulting as it might sound in english lol)
it is quite fluffy right now..

once promotions start again, i'll have to mind it again [his hair]
i mean tbh.. a big part of it is cuz i can't be bothered by it [his hair] right now

💬toes?? why toes.. why... toes.. what could you possible be curious about re: toes?
these are the slippers i've been wearing lately

*acupressure slippers

*acupressure slippers are super common in Korean households - the feels are like the OG adidas slides with the prickly bottoms.. the ones that hurt like a mf when you've been wearing them for a while but i have a bunch in my home too that I wear around the house all the time.. but now that it's winter, i wear my fuzzy tata slippers

aren't they funny? [his slippers]

hahahha
💬beautiful feet
💬cool feet
hehe..sure.. anyway...

right now.. um
i just wanted to yap a bit before going to bed
isn't there something fun to chat about?

you know what's funny? i have so many books but still..

okay.. so first i guess i should read about California

Loves to Party.. Californiaaa

💬do you use a face mask everyday?

allll in good humor, j-hope thought it was very funny and is being sarcastic

💬next week's the concert movie

💬hair dye?

💬the difficulty level of choreography for the next album?
i mean could i really be the one to decide that?
we all have to talk it out together and adjust accordingly no?

but it's so funny
cuz like if you hear 'BTS' we're also very well known for our choreography
but thinking all the way back - never dreamed we'd get so much recognition for our dancing.. like really

speaks to how much we've worked for it and how well our choreography was laid out for us
incredible right?

💬when are you going to sleep?
imma sleep soon.. i'm actually trying to sleep early today- like i've set my heart on this
i always sleep at like 5/6am
