I Live Alone marked J-Hope’s first variety show comeback since completing his service last October, and ARMYs couldn’t contain their excitement! Getting to see this fresh side of the star was extra special since his life in the United States had never been revealed before—truly a gift for fans who’ve been missing his bright energy.

J-Hope shared that working in LA was actually part of his master plan even before finishing his military service — just like him to always be thinking ahead! During the episode, he gave viewers the ultimate house tour of his temporary home, showcasing spaces that perfectly capture his personality and impeccable taste. From his aesthetically pleasing living room to his well-stocked kitchen, every corner reflected the BTS star’s unique sense of style.

The episode also treated us to J-Hope’s daily routines, which fans are often curious about! He started his morning with gentle stretches, cutely peeled an apple while still in his comfy pajamas, and even showed his domestic side by washing the dishes.

Of course, the well-known “dance machine” hasn’t neglected his fitness routine. J-Hope revealed he’s been faithfully maintaining his workout routine even after military discharge. Having served as a “special forces soldier” during his enlistment (we’re still not over those photos!), fans were living for details about his current exercise regimen.
