South Korean boy band BTS made a splashing comeback after almost four years, and fans are already eager to see them live, performing the tracks from their fifth studio album, Arirang, following their mandatory military service. Recently, the streaming platform Netflix had released the documentary titled BTS: THE RETURN, in which one of the scenes showcased J-Hope's response to HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk.
Viral clip of J-Hope and Bang Si Hyuk
Several clips shared on social media from the documentary showed the part where the BTS members, the staff and the founder, Bang Si Hyuk, were seen having a discussion about the album Arirang. But what caught the attention of netizens was J-Hope addressing suggestions made by Bang Si Hyuk.
J-Hope expressed concern that a version with an extended sample felt excessive or overdone. He requested a shorter version, at one point firmly telling Bang PD, “That's not it,” when discussing the song's direction.
