BTS's J-Hope Introduces His Sister on 'I Live Alone'

In a recent episode of MBC's reality show 'I Live Alone' (나혼자산다), BTS's J-Hope (제이홉) made a delightful surprise by introducing his older sister. The episode aired on March 7, 2025, showcasing J-Hope as he sought inspiration for his music while enjoying some personal downtime. He prepared a dinner featuring L.A.-style steak and a hearty kimchi stew, declaring, "Today is my feast." Without consulting any recipes, he confidently stated, "Cooking is all about feeling," impressing everyone with his culinary skills.

J-Hope's cheerful demeanor and flushed face while cooking made viewers hungry for his delicious creations. After serving the kimchi stew and steak, he even popped open a bottle of champagne, humorously noting, "I turn red when I drink." His fellow cast member Jeon Hyun-moo chimed in, saying, "You can't handle your alcohol, just like me," leading to laughter as they joked about their shared experiences.

During the episode, the cast noticed a peculiar item strapped to J-Hope's calf, sparking curiosity. It turned out to be a yoga ring designed to reduce swelling, which J-Hope explained he uses due to his increased calf size from running during his military service. His casual appearance, wearing pajamas and enjoying cereal with the yoga ring, added a relatable touch to his personality.

As the episode progressed, J-Hope's joy led him to break into dance, raising his hands in excitement. Comedian Park Na-rae humorously questioned, "Can you really dance with that on?" adding to the lighthearted atmosphere.

Later, J-Hope was seen driving in a convertible to meet someone special. It was revealed that he was meeting his older sister, who bears a striking resemblance to him and is four years his senior. J-Hope shared that his sister was in the U.S. for business, and they have a close relationship, stating, "We are very close."
