ARMYs recently found old footage of the time when BTS’ j-hope was cast in the dance musical Reverberation.
While the BTS member has made his name as a singer and dancer, many fans would be unaware that j-hope had debuted in a dance musical as a child artist.
During a guest appearance on IU's Palette, j-hope revealed that as a child, he was not confident enough to tell his school friends about his dream of becoming a singer. Instead, he would say that his dream was to become a musical dancer.
Intrigued by this, ARMYs put on their detective hats and dug out rare footage and photos from when the BTS star was street cast in the dance musical Reverberation as the child version of the male lead.
In the video clip, j-hope can be heard saying:
"Reverberation...the dance musical that will leave you with a touching [story] in 2008."
BTS j-hope’s debut dance musical Reverberation has ARMYs surprised
After watching clips of his musical dance video, one ARMY member remarked on social media:
"He was born to be famous..."
The talented BTS member had humble beginnings. He performed with an underground dance crew before making his debut with BTS as the group’s ace dancer and rapper.
Some fans demanded that they need to see more of the Safety Zone singer from his “fetus era” (rookie days).
Other fans expressed how proud they were of the MORE singer. From a dance musical to being the first Korean artist to headline Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza festival, he has charted an amazing path to success.
Fans are also hoping to watch the complete video of the Arson singer's debut musical Reverberation.
For those unversed, before debuting with BTS, the talented member was part of an underground dance crew called Neuron. He conducted dance classes at Gwangju Music Academy for six years, from fourth grade to his first year in high school.
Known for his sinuous and smooth dance moves, he won plenty of local dance competitions and also won first place in a national dance competition in 2008. He also pursued singing as he auditioned to become an idol trainee with BIG HIT MUSIC (then Big Hit Entertainment).
While still a trainee, the talented BTS member appeared as a featured rapper on singer Jo Kwon's song Animal, which was released in 2012.
