South Korean boy band BTS member J-hope sat down for a candid chat amid his ongoing solo tour, Hope on the Stage. The K-pop idol spilled the beans on his creative process, bonding with other members - Jungkook, Jimin, RM, Suga, V, and Jin - as well as what the ARMY means to him.
Who heard Sweet Dreams first?
In March, BTS’ music agency BigHit announced J-hope’s single Sweet Dreams with Miguel. A statement shared on Weverse read, “The R&B pop track is a heartfelt serenade that expresses the genuine desire to boldly love and be loved. Grammy-award-winning artist Miguel lends his soulful vocals to the song. We hope you enjoy Sweet Dreams as J-hope and Miguel gently deliver this dreamy, sweet melody of love.”
In an interview with iHeartRadio, J-hope was asked who got to hear the finished product first, to which he replied Jungkook followed by other members.

The Mona Lisa hitmaker said, “Each member knows their role and the team very well, so we positively influence each other. I believe that’s the driving force behind keeping the team together for 13 years. I wonder if I’d be fortunate enough to meet such amazing people again in another life.”
Speaking about what ARMY means to him, he added, “When I receive love or admiration from others, I feel a sense of responsibility, knowing that they are watching me and giving me support gives me strength to keep going. I see it as my mission to give back the support they’ve shown me. And I truly appreciate ARMY, who have shown me so much love. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead, and I’ll work hard to be my best self. The army is invaluable.”
