Called as "The Dancing King" by billboard and many
people, J-hope is regularly praised for his dance, his performance skills, his
perfect 'lines', and his versatility in dance.
It’s no
joke with J-Hope when it comes to dancing. Before
BTS, he was a solid dancer. He took dance lessons at the Joy Dance Academy and then took his first steps as an underground dancer under the stage name Smile Hoya. Under this name, J-Hope won multiple awards and accolades, including placing first in a national dance competition in South Korea in 2008. These events allowed him to make a name for himself in the SK art scene and quickly picked up a reputation as an up-and-coming performer to keep an eye on within the industry. It was at this time that he became part of the street dance group Go Arts, a company with which he managed to make a name for himself as a semi-professional.
These events led his inclusion in
BTS.
The group was formed initially as a hip-hop act, and their powerful performances still reflect that. J-Hope was the third member brought into the mix, and the first for his dance skills, bringing his moves to complement the
hard hitting raps of Rap
Monster and Suga.
One J-hope's true love is dancing, and he shows it in every performances.
J-hope also shows that he is the brain in
BTS'performances. As a choreography chief and performance leader, he works really
hard to show the best in
BTS' performances and MVs.
J-Hope is a key component in
BTS’ dances, the best kpop dancer.
