BTS's j-hope Enjoys Unique Brunch on MBC's 'I Live Alone'

In the latest episode of MBC's I Live Alone (나 혼자 산다), BTS's j-hope (제이홉) is seen relishing a unique brunch featuring his 'military-style mixed cereal.' The segment showcases his nostalgic twist on breakfast as he combines various cereals, drawing attention not only for his culinary creativity but also for an unexpected accessory that surprises the show's cast, known as the 'Rainbow Members.'
The episode, airing on March 7, 2025, reveals j-hope's daily life in Los Angeles and highlights the changes in the life of artist 기안84 (Gian84) as the new year unfolds.
In a preview clip, j-hope is shown preparing for brunch after previously opting for a morning apple. He enthusiastically declares, "I'm going military style!" as he mixes four types of cereal in a large bowl, adding low-fat milk to create his 'military-style mixed cereal.'
The Rainbow Members notice a peculiar item strapped to j-hope's calf, prompting curiosity as they ask, "What is that?" It turns out to be a yoga ring designed to reduce swelling, which j-hope sheepishly explains is a result of his running during military service. His casual look, complete with pajamas and the yoga ring, adds a relatable charm to his brunch scene.
After enjoying his sweet cereal, j-hope also prepares a fried egg for protein and surprises everyone by pulling out leftover kimchi stew from the fridge, exclaiming, "I feel like I need to eat some real kimchi!" His joyful demeanor leads him to break into dance, raising his hands in excitement, which amuses 박나래 (Park Na-rae), who quips, "Can you really dance with that on?"
Meanwhile, 기안84 showcases his frugal side as he engages in some DIY repairs. He attempts to fix a gifted hat that doesn't fit him by cutting the back to adjust its size, a bold move that leaves the other cast members in disbelief. 박나래 humorously remarks that it looks more like a cosmetic procedure than a simple repair.
As 기안84 continues to mend items rather than discard them, he even stitches a disposable mask onto the hat, demonstrating his meticulous sewing skills. The Rainbow Members are both shocked and impressed by his resourcefulness, with codekunst commenting on his thoughtful approach to using gifts wisely, while 박나래 praises the hat's transformation as designer-worthy.
Fans can catch j-hope's natural brunch moments and 기안84's sewing adventures on I Live Alone, airing tonight at 11:10 PM KST.
