J-Hope

"I’m your hope, I’m your angel... I’m J-Hope!"

- Jung Hoseok

Jung Hoseok is the co-captain of BTS and student at Korea University, who is also a talented rapper-songwriter, composer, and producer. He and the gang are a pivotal part when friend’s disappearance has become the focus of an intense media circus. J-Hope sees the spotlight turned on them when it’s suspected that they may not be innocent.

Physical Appearance
Everyone debates about J-Hope's nose. Weight gain can also make a person’s face change. His cheeks look larger, because he has more body fat there than he used to. Now that that is out of the way, we do need to chat about his eyes. Eyes have the largest effect on the human face, and combined with eyebrows, these two things control how we see the face. For that reason, we have to look at his double eyelids. First of all, they are perfect. Their curve doesn’t look human, it looks like what someone would do if they were trying to draw a perfect eyelid crease. Secondly, on anyone who has had double eyelid surgery, the end of the sutured crease will curve inward slightly, instead of following the natural line of the inner corner. For comparison, go look at Jungkook’s eyes, and the way his creases blend right into his inner corners. Then look at Hoseok’s creases, which do not blend into his inner corners, but instead curve inward and stop short of the inner corners. Not a single East Asian on this planet is born with eyes that do that. The other hint is that, his creases are perfectly even on both sides, which is physically impossible, because all human faces are subtly uneven. His whole face is more inviting, softer seeming, and in general quite lovely. Also, with Hoseok’s subtle change to his eyes, his very, very Caucasoid features have been given clarity. We see them like we’ve never seen them before. He has a beautiful small East Asian face, a slightly scooped nose, but otherwise, the rest of his face is Western European-looking.

Personality and Traits
J-Hope is that classic "good-guy, social butterfly, popular kid" every upperclassman is friends with, every teacher respects, and every freshman aspires to be like. A bold ball of sunshine with a zest for life, almost never is the twenty-three-old seen alone. It's like he's an entertainer with a group of classmates constantly following him around. One can say that with his laid-back, mellow, generous nature, he most certainly deserves all of the attention he gets. You know those people who can make you smile on your worst days? Those people who can get you curious about the smallest of things? A person who's laughter is more contagious than a plague? That's J-Hope. After all, if you were obsessed with dance and rap in the way that he is, you'd probably never get anxious either. He's an idealist, but not completely wise, and it's obvious in some of his actions that he still has a lot to learn about the world around him.

J-Hope has his fair share of flaws. He has a tendency to indulge himself in a vast amount of parties and will often times come to regret the choices he makes while in the heat of festivity. He doesn't understand those who are sentimental about the past, and although he may be brave, he's not completely confident. Also, since he heavily values family, he's very concerned about his father's strange, depressing behavior. He's trying to cheer his dad up, but it seems like his efforts are only making things worse.
