To clarify, our Hobi had already joined Big Hit in 2010. The vid you saw was the promo for the Hit It 2011 audition.

[@LazySass]

Just got home from work 🫡 You guys get to see why I was so invested in J Hope during his pre debut days 😂 I am still obsessed 💜

[@Mentia-cc4zg]

This was lit. Jhope talent nevers ceases to amaze me.

[@VIDAH_]

He is the epitome of talent ! Can’t wait for Hope on the street documentary 😮‍💨🔥

[@bt6248]

I love watching Hobi dance and rap, but I REALLY love watching y'all watching Hobi dance and rap. And I cannot WAIT for Hope On The Street 2024! C'mon! 🔥

[@BoraHoneyBee]

That was AMAZING! how in the world can people say he had no talent.

[@LazySass]

Unfortunately they are just projecting themselves on J Hope 😂

[@valeriewright5412]

Hobi killing it. That's his dance, be real now. Hope shows just what hes made of. King of choreo. AJJ I need to know where you got that tee because DNA is the song that got me ARMY❤❤❤ Stay safe guys. 💜 💜💜

[@donitapolk9413]

That jealousy demon will bring the haters out every time ... Smh

[@melonidaly3596]

They CANT.......

[@cynthiaholt5970]

I agree with you 💯, Jung Hoseok is a very multi talented man❤️💜

[@vmkoya4080]

Hobi has so much talent from the very beginning and anyone oh says other wise are just hating. I miss Hobi, thank you MAC for this request and thank you Nico, AJJ, and Blaze for reacting to this. I have never seen this full video, only clips from the dance part. 💜

[@PrincesslaSoSassy]

J Hope is so talented and real. All BTS members are 💯 on spot. Thank you for sharing. 💜

[@janetcredo148]

Watching Hobi’s audition tape was a gift and made me so happy. All of you reacting to his tape was serving extra joy. Thank you for making my morning💜💜💜

[@ralphy383]

The video is not his audition tape! Jhope was already working for bighit in this video. The video is an ad he did for bighit for advertising their 3rd audition in 2011. Jhope joined bighit in 2010! And was the first member to sign to the company. It's all in the beyond the story book.

[@ShellyMarinPrice]

Oh how I miss j-hope! This was a much needed treat. His talent is on another level and I can never get enough. I keep thinking of his interview on Suchwita when he announced his dance documentary to be released in 2024, with a 6 song OST. I CAN’T WAIT!

[@tubenoober]

Hobi was born with beats in his bod. Destined to dance and rap!

[@juliettedemaso7588]

Damn he used Herbie Hancock's Rockit. Im so freaking impressed. When that song and video dropped in the early 80's I was about nine or ten, and instantly smitten. You all aren't lying here about a single thing, that Era was the beginning of hip hop, in the exact same way The Cure, Sugar Cubes, and Souxsie and the Banshees were the pre dawn of Alternative. we had kids breakdancing on their cardboard in the parking lots in the alley behind the grocery store, so fly with their boom boxes, bandanas, and rolled up leather MJ jackets, we were making our own mixtapes and omg the sampling was fire. We still had the glitzy urban remnants of 70's soul and disco lingering too. All this early stuff, like Rappers Delight, keeping us real busy and fly at the rink. I went back recently just for sh*ts and giggles and watched some Beastie Boys videos (lol I know I just veered really hard, bear with me) and I was so overjoyed at the abundance of sampling, creativity. Energy, and the good natured stylish camp. I only mention that out of nostalgia for the broader Era; the power that scratching, spinning, sampling, rapping, mixing, dancing, skating, and creating our own myths and styles gave the kids, people who otherwise didn't have the instruments, schools, access and resources for making establishment music. We made our own and that my friends is how true movements happen. We've seen our boys dance to Its Tricky too, and I'll tell you Korea is carrying forward our mid-century Soul in so many ways more reverentially than we are at home. But not with a xerox, just faithfully weaving all that rich inspiration throughout their own fresh visions. I'm so grateful to the Korean scene right now. 💜

[@ralphy383]

Just clarifying for people who didnt know... THIS IS JHOPE ADVERTISING FOR BIGHIT_MUSIC in 2011. This is an advertisement for an audition program. He is not auditioning in this video Jhope signed to bighit in 2010! and auditioned privately in 2010. He was already part of bts in 2011.

[@LazySass]

👏👏👏👏 correct I forgot to mention that 👏👏👏👏 thank you

[@Korean_Kutie]

Ah...love this. Just shows that he has always had that talent and passion. He looks so young here and yet he looks the same lol he had always been incredible at embodying whatever best he is dancing to. Amazing talent, so happy that Bang PD saw that, even then! Thanks for a great reaction! Stay Blessed and Stay Gold! L💜

[@vanessaemano5357]

JHope is THE BEAT.

[@sararosati4130]

j-Hope is dope🫰✌️ Thanks guys!🙏🤟

[@Willcrochet]

Oh my thank you to Mac for excavating this one from the vault. Just shows how gifted J-Hope is/was, even back then!!

[@lthill4656]

Yes!!! J-hope is multi talented 💜💜💜

[@jessicamarvelcrafts]

Now I need to see a video on the science of it all 😂💜 by Nico, AJJ and Blaze. Someone explain how 7 talented individuals are the most talented group. It’s straight out of comics. Miss Hobi and loved seeing his smile 💜

[@gailooo1895]

Always love J-Hopes energy, movements, and rapping with a sprinkling of his clothing style

[@quatzxice]

THE JUNG HOSEOK. He was always a star. Confirmed. Oh to know what went through Bang PD's head when he saw it. Me? I thought one thing, he is a star! Just like the sun that he is.

[@estherperez7855]

That was insane! So freaking amazing! That’s my beautiful and mad talented bias; so proud of him. Thanks for reacting to this, guys! 💜🫰🏽

[@fitriyantiyanti9776]

Thank you for your reaction.. I love & miss Hobi so much...

[@RogueFire777]

JHope dancing! That's why he's my bias❤

[@rosellapalacios7001]

He is our Hope.....👏🏼

[@alyssavo-maestre4261]

Wow Hobi’s got the natural talent from the beginning 💜💜💜

[@vickyowenw7590]

I love JHOPE!! He can dance and sing and anything he wants… I will always love this guy! 💜💜💜💜

[@xkittenm]

The talent is just unreal 🔥 💜

[@zakkiyyabts7]

I haven’t seen this even back then you can tell Jhope had it can’t take that away from him and the artist and person he is today the best no one like him and can’t but admire, adore and love jhope 💜🫰

[@seokah0218]

I could watch j-hope dance all day long but then he starts to rap and it’s the cherry on top'

[@HaniDoo]

brought me right back to my younger days and that was a while ago, lol. great reaction! i had the same enthusiasm as all of you.

[@LazySass]

It's still gets me heated way back then people who were trying to get people hyped for J Hope were saying that he's well known for his dancing but it's also rare that he can rap and dance. I was like damn this child must be young to think that rap and dancing doesn't go hand and hand but for idols back then it was rare to have that combo so I was happy I just said that it's only rare for kpop idols but not for OG rappers even legendary ones if you're willing to do your research 😂😂😂 but in reality I was like 👿 and cussing outside of the keyboard 🤣🤣🤣

[@TooLittleInfo]

Yeah i know what you mean, I see sometimes people say things like, jhope didn't know rap or hip hop before he met RM or suga and I'm like, are you kidding me? He was a street dancer, that's like such a fundamental part of hip hop culture, you can't tell me he didn't know anything about hip hop. Like it's crazy to hear people say stuff like that but I guess it's just a lack of knowledge of what hip hop is

[@LazySass]

@@TooLittleInfo very true dancing is such a basic foundation of Hip Hop but also don't really blame the ignorance either as most interviews only focus on writing, producing and cadence for an idol to be a rapper and top album/rapper/song and how much knowledge that person had in it came from those in the K Hip Hop scene so it became a boxed thing that just went in circles. Some also don't realise that just because positions are assigned it doesn't mean that it's all they are or only capable of 🤣 But J Hope did learn his rap style/flow from RM and Suga but not the Hip Hop culture, it's that man's efforts though that polished and refined it to the point there's a difference between all 3 styles that is not 2 styles and 1 copy and paste 🤣

[@PrincesslaSoSassy]

Just an fyi, when Hobi had his listening party when Arson was released i noticed a dancer named Brother Jin. Brother Jin really introduced me to Locking. I was blown away.

[@robinkitchen2182]

😮😎🔥🧊 I’m willing to bet Hoseok left PD wanting more. I would have hired Hoseok Just to see what else he can do. Hoseok is amazing and mesmerizing! ❤ J hope.

[@lianalynnyapin]

I love jhope before military and show reaction dance now 😎

[@UserFeb18]

His iconic split as always. His locking 🔥🔥🔥

[@barbaraspeckarmy]

That was a new one for me.. just when you thought you have seen most of OG7 💜😊

[@rosemeadows6920]

👋 I love that you guys get so excited...it makes me chuckle. 🤭 Thank you for being such fun. 🫂💜

[@7toheavan4ever54]

My absolut favorite reaction videos! Whatchagot2say fam reacting to Bangtans choreography and dance video's 😃💜 L💜 Love you BTS Love you BangtanARMY

[@danself34]

[@marygracesaligumba990]

Please keep creating content even after all the members are on hiatus. We need you to keep us entertained while they are gone

[@lilyja]

J-Hope Thanks BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@7toheavan4ever54]

Love it when Blaze going crazy!!!

[@kathysparks9575]

My gosh....and this was the audition for Big Hit!....I have never seen anybody rap to that...I'm so done...he is beyond amazing....Mac....stop gatekeeping...feed us please....lol

[@xindanobody8591]

I NEVER SAW THAT ;; Ahhh. That was fun. I do wish there could be a vid without the editing to see the dancing full through, but man... to hear him rap to THAT? Freakin' original Hoseok!

[@87alsjth]

JHope is so dang cool and hot 😩🔥

[@ruthmaqueda929]

Saludos a todos los 3 super genial.son.sarangheeeee

[@aquilajinkins5662]

This isn't Hobi's audition tape for Big Hit. This is the 2011 Hit It Audition Promo video. j-hope filmed the promo to encourage people to audition.

[@JediJean]

Hobi has old school hip-hop in his soul... and it looks like it was in him from the very beginning... I mean, who knew one could rap to Herbie Hancock's "Rockit"? When we see old pre-debut videos of Hobi at dance competitions and such, it's always old school with him... even in his first solo album and the songs he's written for the BE album, it sounds old school... then there was "Chicken Noodle Soup" with Becky G... and I'm old enough to remember old school, 'cos my intro to hip-hop was thru' the movie "Breakdance" with Ozone, Turbo & Kelly, before it got a title name change... that movie was so etched in my brain, esp the dance battles with Shabba Doo and Boogaloo Shrimp with Ice-T as the MC on the mic... so yeah, old school poppin' n lockin' and all that... rappers' origin was from those MCs talkin' it out to the beat over the mic, I mean correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that how the art of rapping got started? I remember Run DMC and how they did "Walk This Way" with Aerosmith, and "It's Tricky". Dance battles were all the rage, and even Michael Jackson showed it in his music video for "Beat It". And anyone remember "Rapper's Delight" by Sugarhill Gang? And don't leave out Chaka Khan... I loved "Ain't Nobody" and "Feel For You". Those are the things I remember off the top of my head about that time.

[@Jaydope_]

We all agree that J-HOPE is the king of dancing !! And he has his own way in rap like cherry on top

[@bubblegum12449]

I appreciate that AJJ and Blaze pointed out the significance of j-hope's rap in this video, as people don't usually rap to it, and how j-hope's roots are in old school hip-hop. Thanks for pointing out exactly when j-hope is locking, as I would never know if I watched it by myself. This reaction makes me appreciate j-hope even more.

[@mariangelyagua7148]

[@missc.s.5790]

Bangtan Soyedan made it for a reason. They are beyond beyond and the passion they each have for what they do the dedication. incredible! Inspiring! I love them and i truly hope for the best while they are away in the army but I also cannot wait to see what they do when they get back becasue as much as it sucks that they have to go away i think the things they gain in the army will inevitably contribute to their art. I also think their solo careers will of course impact their music when they're back and i am so so excited for that!

[@harlebealieve3765]

Love this little jewel!! L💜

[@jojobeans3369]

Wow I can’t believe we haven’t seen this until now. That was great and it’s no wonder Bighit snatched him up.

[@Tale_MinDeulLe.012]

This was great! I wonder if the other members have audition videos out as well?

[@CaribbeanLady77]

I too though of Shabba Doo (Ozone) when watching this! Jung Hoseok’s locking is reminiscent of the “Breakin’” movie series…. Oh when that riff came on I was transported to the very first time I saw Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo 🥰😍🤩 I’m 🤯 I have NEVER heard of anyone rap on that track either and Jung Hoseok did FOR HIS AUDITION!?!?! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 He wasn’t J-Hope yes BUT he had EVERYTHING to become J-Hope from the very beginning🙌🏽👏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽 THIS RIGHT HERE IS A GEM!

[@FatimaGonzalesStette-vh5vn]

Jhoooopeeeee !!!!!

[@Mackenzie341]

Noona Mac checkin' in. I be gettin' all the play this week. :) Also our dog is named Jack. ;) You got it Blaze!

[@lisawelles6121]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of A.R.M.Y. / BTS 💜💛💜 Blaze you are so right , I never heard anyone rap to that beat before. It was always used as a dance track. Ozone and Turbo was the best at what they did back in the 80's. For Jhope to bring it back to the forefront again is 🔥. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

[@seaflea3]

yeah! please do more reactions to JHope.....no one like him and love to see you guys react and talk about him....he is the BEST!! c'mon Mack attack give us some more!

[@happles_OT7]

J-hooope 😊🫶🇧🇷

[@BM-ur4je]

Ok !!! So now I learned sooo much from you guys today watching JHopes' 2011 Big Hit Audition!! Like after all these years finally the real experts recognized the absolute genius named JHope. I doubt more than a handful in Korea 'got it' over a decade. Now I can better understand why JHope considered leaving BTS before they even debuted (I think I'm correct as to the timing).

[@ralphy383]

What? Jhope joined bighit in 2010. Not in 2011. By 2011 jhope was already part of bts and he was writing songs with them. Also jhope only considered leaving because of the pressure pf being a trainee.. not because of anything else.

[@shigurl7160]

Just found out i was living in a rock coz how in the bts world did i not know this video exist 😮

[@SalmaZyoud]

I have never seen this before?? When did this happen??? 💜 💜 💜

[@hellotheree565]

Have you know that V stars on running man before enlistment? Would be great if you can react to it ❤

[@KootchLB]

Thank you for this reaction, guys! Just the thing when I'm missing our Hobi. Dancing is how Hobi got signed as trainee, RM and Yoongi taught him to rap and having to keep up with the other trainees doing freestyle rap all around him strengthened his style. So talented and such a wonderful person, our Mr. Sunshine!

[@donnasoria90]

Si as I have been saying from day one. RM and Suga as those army haters try to say taught Jhope how to rap is such crock. So much proof he was doing before . How could you even believe that if you did your research. Video after video and interviews . He was underground as a hip hop dancer and he sang and of course rapped . Why he struggled to stay with bangtan . He had other options . He was going to be big either way . But he knew he wanted to sing and rap and dance, way before bangtan ! Why manager from bangtan reassured him being in KPOP would not keep him from rapping career !!!

[@33Ahava]

Viper - You Gon Die

[@Misfitdruid]

Isn't J-Hope the only member who officially auditioned for other labels? I know a bunch of labels wanted to sign JK after his appearance on a show of some kind, but I don't recall hearing/reading about any of the other members except JHope auditioning for a label before BigHit. 🤔🤔

[@terinalampkin5914]

It's really nothing to say he did that....Periodically
