In life, each of us makes mistakes from time to time, it can be disastrous for some people but it can also be a way to open up one's future. j-hope is a prime example of the second type of person.
He once shared that he was not honest with his parents in the past. However, these lies helped him become the great person he is today and made his parents proud of him.
Here are the 2 times he lied to his parents that made j-hope regret the most, but his confessions нυят ARMYs the most:
Before debuting as an idol, j-hope in particular and BTS in general faced many difficulties to be able to pursue their dreams. Looking back on being an artist is not the easiest thing to do especially when no one knows in advance whether it will be successful or not.
In the position of fathers and mothers, of course, no one wants their children to take risks for an uncertain future and so j-hope's father - a Literature teacher once stopped his dream to become an idol. This was, of course, the biggest barrier of j-hope at that time.
j-hope once revealed that as a child, he told his father he was going to study but instead learned his true päṩṩion, dancing. He lied to his father when he spent time in his room studying dance videos, but his lie was quickly discovered by his father.
“When I was younger and really into dancing, it happened to be my exam period. I would pretend to study in my room, but I was actually watching dance videos” he said. He continued: "I was working really hard on pretending to study and watching dance videos when my dad suddenly came into my room. At the time, I was so surprised. My dad sighed deeply and just left. I remember this memory vividly."
At that time, he felt sorry to his father for not being honest with what he was doing. But fortunately later when j-hope persisted with his dream and his father began to accept his son's dream, j-hope did not let his father down.
j-hope even danced in front of his father with all his päṩṩion and later on, j-hope's father has been the biggest supporter in his life and dreams. “That’s why I once danced in front of my dad with no music. He told me to dance for him so I poured out my passion by dancing without any music or noise. The only sound you could hear was the sound of my clothing and my breathing. There was a time like that", added j-hope.
But that's not the only word for his dream. Recalling when j-hope was a trainee and had a hard time becoming an idol, he also lied about himself to his mother.
At that time, whenever he talked to his mother, j-hope's mother would ask questions like how is his situation. Because he was afraid that his mother would worry about him, j-hope had to lie to his mother that he was still living a good life even though he was extremely tired, scared, even depressed at that time.
That is also the lie that j-hope remembers the most until now even though it was a harmless lie. J-Hope's lie was to help protect his mother, who meant the whole world to him.
It's fortunate that j-hope can now recall those memories and feel less apologetic towards his parents because he was the one who successfully pursued his dream. His parents, when looking back on their son's development, must also be very proud because he did the right thing when he didn't follow his parents' wishes or lied to them.
