On June 19, BTS’s J-Hope appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel ‘117’ in the segment titled “Sana’s Fridge Interview”, bringing unexpected warmth to the frosty concept.
Sana introduced him with glowing praise, “When I heard he was appearing, I was like, ‘Really? On Fridge Interview?’ The entire room was filled with staff just for him. He’s someone who has everything performance, personality, and variety skills. The whole world loves J-Hope please come out!”
As J-Hope entered, Sana couldn’t hold back her admiration, “Seeing you in person, you really do have such a cheerful face. They called you a ‘sunshine character’ and you really looked like sunshine walking in.” Laughing, J-Hope responded humbly, “Only you, Sana, could say that.”
When the “banmal time” segment came up a part of the show where they drop formalities—Sana asked if J-Hope usually spoke casually with others. He replied, “I think I need to get close to someone first.” Sana quickly teased, “Just think of me as a younger friend. I’ll call you oppa.” Her unexpected boldness visibly flustered J-Hope, prompting laughter.
Despite his initial hesitation, J-Hope adapted quickly to the playful tone. In a relaxed exchange, he jokingly revealed his reason for appearing on the show, “I’m here to promote my new song.”
The lighthearted chemistry between J-Hope and Sana delighted viewers, showcasing J-Hope’s genuine personality and Sana’s quick-witted hosting. Fans praised the duo’s natural interaction, with many already rewatching the clip for its heartwarming moments.
