j-hope has always been known as the “energy vitamin” thanks to his friendly, sociable personality and the way he always brings a cheerful atmosphere to everyone around him. However, that does not mean he is careless or lenient with the basic standards of human behavior.
On the contrary, j-hope is a very disciplined person, serious about his work, and he sets clear boundaries for how people should treat one another. j-hope’s code of conduct is so firm that he has stated there are certain mistakes that, if someone makes them, he would not be able to be friends with that person.
RM was even dragged in this story, but fortunately, the BTS leader did not commit a violation serious enough for j-hope to be unable to forgive, which is why we can still see the adorable friendship of the 94-line!
Specifically, in an interview, j-hope was forced to choose between two options: a messy person and a person who is always late. The original question was: "Which one is worse: people who always make a mess whenever they visit versus people who are never on time?".
The answer did not come immediately, as j-hope admitted that neither option was ideal in his eyes. According to him, both types of people violate the most basic standards of human behavior.
He even joked that it’s better to try to cut ties with such people. He humorously said: "This one is tough…these types of people, you gotta stop meeting them."
However, if he had to choose one type of person to cut off, it would definitely be those who are always late. j-hope commented that he “cannot stand” someone who is never on time. He stated firmly: "I’ll go with the second one. I can’t stand a tardy person."
He believes that a person who is never punctual inconveniences others more than someone who is messy. After all, a messy room can be cleaned up, but a habit of being late is up to the person themselves to change. He explained: “I can always clean up when they make a mess but being late is about basic manners".
For someone as serious and dedicated as j-hope, punctuality is a fundamental virtue. It is also a basic and practical rule of social interaction for anyone, since time is precious. Being on time shows discipline and respect for others — and in another sense, it is also a way of respecting yourself!
Following j-hope’s answer, fans immediately shouted RM’s name. ARMY pointed out that fortunately, RM falls into the “messy” category that j-hope is willing to tolerate. He must have gotten used to cleaning up the “war zone” that the leader created during their years of living together in the dorm.
However, ARMYs also pointed out that this exception may apply only to RM and BTS! For everyone else, you’d better avoid making a mess or being late, unless you want to end up on his lifetime blacklist!
