In one of his most recent interviews, j-hope joined iHeartRadio to chat about his latest works, his tour, as well as his bandmates from BTS. During the interview with iHeartRadio, the host asked j-hope what it means to Hobi to have "unwavering support" and a sense of "brotherhood" that allows them to grow as individuals and together.

Hobi had a heartfelt answer to give to the interviewer's question. He said,

"Each member knows their role in the team very well, so we influence each other in a positive way. 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," j-hope answered without any hesitation.
