Fans of K-pop are buzzing with excitement following the recent camaraderie displayed between BTS’ j-hope and TWICE’s Nayeon. The enthusiasm was further fueled when BANGTANTV released a new episode of BANGTAN BOMB on March 18, 2025, showcasing behind-the-scenes footage of j-hope filming the Sweet Dreams dance challenge. This special feature included appearances from other K-pop idols, notably TWICE’s Nayeon and Momo.
In the clip, the bond between Nayeon and j-hope was evident, with the Arson singer engaging with her in a casual manner. Observers noted that both idols seemed well-informed about each other’s schedules, suggesting a level of friendship that delighted their fans. The sight of these beloved idols collaborating on dance challenges set social media abuzz.
One enthusiastic fan commented,
“This is so cute! I wish every idol could be this comfortable around each other and maintain good relationships without fearing backlash.”
“Nayeon calling j-hope oppa and Hobi talking to her informally while using honorifics for Momo?? What do I do with this information???,”a fan exclaimed.
Another user elaborated on their connection, stating,
“So many things happening omg, they are definitely friends. I mean, how could they not be? J-hope trained at JYP, and we know JYP’s family motto. Momo called him oppa, and j-hope was ready to high-five them, but the girls bowed first since BTS is senior.”
The delightful interactions between j-hope and Nayeon did not go unnoticed, as they were seen sharing laughs, prompting an array of amusing fan reactions:
“If I had a pretty smile like J-hope and the most adorable bunny teeth like Nayeon, I might just suffer from Ijbolitis too,”wrote one user.
“You’re asking that to two people with chronic cases of Ijbolitis,”another fan humorously pointed out.
“Nayeon and Hoseok matching each other’s Ijbolitis—I did not see that coming,”noted a netizen.
Fans expressed their joy at witnessing this heartfelt interaction. Many took to social media to share their thoughts:
“Been waiting all these years for the smallest BangTwice crumbs only to find out they’re actually close friends in real life. Oh, I LOVE being an ArmyOnce,”said one admirer.
“I can’t believe I’m living in a timeline where Twice members and a BTS member are just casually interacting. I love it so much,”another user reacted.
“Hoseok-shi to oppa. GIVE ME MORE OF MY BANGTWICE MOMENTS, PLEASE. I just know they are besties,”a netizen commented.
