Among all BTS members’ families, ARMYs seem to have gotten the most glimpses into j-hope’s family life. Part of the reason is that j-hope once filmed his daily life with his parents when he returned to his hometown of Gwangju for the documentary j-hope IN THE BOX.

Another reason is that j-hope’s sister, Jung Jiwoo, is a well-known influencer, vlogger, and YouTuber. She has often shared candid moments of the Jung family in her holiday vlogs, which perfectly capture the dynamics between family members.

Recently, Jiwoo’s YouTube channel released a new video documenting a few short days she spent in Gwangju. One of the highlights was a lighthearted conversation between j-hope’s father and Jiwoo, revealing a major change in his father’s mindset. On the other hand, this scene also made many fans feel like they needed to take action right away!

Specifically, Mr. Jung picked up Jiwoo as soon as she arrived in Gwangju by KTX train. On their way home, he played j-hope’s newly released track “Killin’ It Girl,” leaving Jiwoo adorably “defeated.”

She exclaimed: "When I come down and ride in Dad's car, he only listens to his son's song. Dad, you're listening to new songs, though...You're this close to memorizing the lyrics".

Following the video, ARMYs jokingly admitted they felt the need to “self-reflect” — even a father of an idol is so dedicated to streaming his son’s music, while some of them have admittedly been slacking off lately!

Some fans confessed: “Okay I’m embarrαѕѕed — even his dad spends more time on his songs than me", “So this is how devoted supporters look like… guess I need to step up my stream game", "Hobis dad is streaming more focused then some armys", "Another big acc looping, we need to chase Hobi's dad now"...

But what makes this story even more touching is the journey of j-hope’s father — from initial opposition to full acceptance, and now becoming one of his biggest and proudest supporters. Fans who have followed BTS for a long time may remember that j-hope’s father, a literature teacher at a high school, once disapproved of his son’s decision to pursue dancing and an artistic path.

There was even a time when he caught j-hope pretending to study but secretly watching dance videos, and he just sighed and left the room. For a long time, j-hope had to hide his practice and training from his father.

Looking back at his father’s reaction 15 years ago and comparing it to now, it’s a complete transformation. Today, not only does j-hope’s father approve of his son’s career, but he has also become his biggest, most pαѕѕionate fan. His love is evident in the way he listens to j-hope’s music so often that he nearly knows all the lyrics by heart.

He even had a stone engraved with the words “HOPE’s world” placed in the family garden to commemorate his son’s success.

At the end of the day, family remains the strongest source of support and emotional encouragement for any idol. This small yet deeply heartfelt story has left many fans moved:
