BTS’s J-Hope is making waves with an unexpected TV move. The global superstar personally requested to appear on MBC’s The Manager, sparking buzz about his reasons.
The episode will show J-Hope attending a schedule in Bangkok, Thailand, where he wrapped up his first solo world tour. Despite a packed agenda, he impressed the cast with his self-management skills and surprising eating habits.
Comedian Lee Young Ja, known for her foodie reputation, praised J-Hope and offered,
“I’ll give you a guide to good restaurants.”

The biggest shocker: J-Hope planned everything—his appearance and the world tour—three years in advance, before his military enlistment.
His manager joked,
“That’s why I wonder if that’s why his name is (J) Hope.”

Fans will get a look at J-Hope’s pre-performance routine and stage moments. He also teased a full BTS comeback after all members complete military service.
