Talk:J-Hope/Archive 1

Solo Activities
Independent activities separate of band provide grounds for page as individual person. --Krispykremer (talk) 05:24, 2 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Having solo activities doesn't automatically make anyone notable for an article; far more idols would have an article if that was the case. If an article is created, notability has to be proved in said article, not just "he released a mixtape in Februry 2018".Alexanderlee (talk) 18:46, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Case for Notability
Quick case for notability if someone wants to delete this. Hope World and its track charting on various Billboard charts makes J-Hope notable, as he meets #2 of WP:BAND. Nyantatata ^-^ (Say hi!) 16:39, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Predebut Activities
Going to put this here, since it keeps being added back. Should there be a mention of J-Hope featuring on Jo Kwon's "Animal" in the article? The video of the performance is the only proof that it happened on that one music show and gives no information about the song itself, thus making it an insufficient source. I could not find any reliable news sources covering it, in both Korean and English. I did an extensive Naver search and Google advanced search to make sure I wasn't missing anything since if one existed it'd be worthwhile information. I found a handful of unoffical reuploads of various Music Show performances and a dance practice, none of which are usable. I guess the cloest thing I could find was this track listing off of Naver that does mention J-Hope's feature in it, so I'm leaving it open as to whether or not that other people think it belongs there or not. Going to ping they made the edit initially. Nyantatata ^-^ (Say hi!) 02:03, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Hug Me (with V)
The song is labeled as a cover but all of J-hope's lyrics are original (about 40% of the song). Only V's part is from the original song by Jeong Jun-il. I'm not sure if that matters but it seems to me like that would make it more like some of their other songs that use other beats and parts of the lyrics/chorus. I included it in the list because I thought the differences were significant enough to warrant inclusion especially when compared to the covers other members have done like "Fools" with JK and RM and Jin's "Autumn Outside the Post Office" which use only the original lyrics like a traditional cover. If there are more specific guidelines for this please let me know. Baepsayed (talk) 15:46, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Other Charted songs and Outro: Ego
Where is Outro: Ego in the "other charted songs" section? I observed his solo song from WINGS (MAMA) and from Love Yourself (Trivia: Just Dance) were listed, but not Ego (from Map of the Soul: 7 (2020)).

"j-hope"
His name is definitely styled in a lowercase format. This is important because his official Big Hit profile uses lowercase, as well as plenty of album inserts, song credits and music videos. Consider the Daydream MV and the Airplane MV as examples. Katabatic03 talk 05:50, 5 September 2020 (UTC) Continuing from this, yes, his name is stylised in lowercase. discuss here. . As well as the links provided by Katabatic03, there's also Spotify, Apple Music and Melon which all use the stylised version of "j-hope". Alex (talk) 16:43, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Striked out part of my original comment as I realised it was the same editor who defined the styling and then re-added it. But still, SmallPotatoHeh333, you are the one wanting to move styling so you are the one who should be seeking consensus once you were reverted. Katabatic03 had already provided explanation and examples which you hadn't even responded to when you removed the styling again. Alex (talk) 16:48, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Philanthropy update
He donated 100m KRW in August 2020 to Green Umbrella Children's Foundation to help underprivileged children in the midst of Covid-19 (source). I would add it myself but I'm not good with words. -- Ivanacccp (talk) 01:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've gone ahead and added it! I'm not the best at words either, so let me know if I should make any edits! Thanks! ⇒ Lucie Person (talk&#124;contribs) 00:40, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Hopesdaylight (talk) 21:08, 19 December 2020 (UTC) please change J-Hope to j-hope because that's how bighit spells his stage name
 * We mention that stylization in the intro, but we don't use stylizations in articles (MOS:TM) – Thjarkur (talk) 21:20, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Please edit all mentions of "j-hope" to be stylized in all lower case, as this is his preferred way to spell his stage name in text. Thank you. Allmylove4Hobi (talk) 02:53, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The page is not protected, so you may edit the page, but I recommend getting consensus first. RudolfRed (talk) 02:56, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

 * stylizations are not and should not be used in article prose per WP:MOSTM, except in the introductory pgraph of the page. Any attempts to change the way his name is written will be reverted. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 03:28, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

stylized name
wouldn't be "stylized jhope" be more fitting than "stylized j-hope"? the former is how he himself writes his name and the majority of his fans too in everyday conversation 2003:E4:9F33:4793:99B2:D450:A680:EA57 (talk) 17:16, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Requested edit: 2013-Present:BTS* since now it’s listed as 2013-2018, which is not a correct information. 213.233.88.165 (talk) 23:26, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Not done - the section headers are just a summary of the chronological history as written in the containing section. It does not mean that he wasn't a part of BTS at the time, only that the section past 2018 talks about his solo career. Evaders99 (talk) 23:29, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Beginnings section
-> 'His dancing eventually led to an interest in singing, and he auditioned to become an idol trainee' this line paints a wrong picture. Jhope auditioned for BigHit at a time when they were looking for rappers for a rap group. So describing his start as 'became interested in singing' and 'auditioned as an idol' doesn't really capture his beginning under BTS. As soon as he joined he learned free styling and rapping from the underground rappers who solely made up the group at that time. The added source doesn't support this phrasing either. Another problem is the outdated and extremely negative 'Idol' article that is being linked too. Yes he was an idol trainee but the Idol article solely references SM practices from 10 years ago, BTS experience was vastly different from the described normal here so linking this without additional explanation seems overly prejudicial to me. If the Wikipedia definition of Idol is used then Jhope was in fact never an Idol.

Outro: Ego
jhope has a fourth solo song under bts named Outro: Ego from the Map of the Soul 7 album! please add it to the page 46.97.169.2 (talk) 05:36, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 April 2023
j-hope has released four, not three, solo songs under BTS. The song “Trivia: Just Dance” is not part of the “MAP OF THE SOUL: 7” album, it’s actually from the “Love Yourself: Answer” compilation album, released in 2018. The fourth solo song not mentioned on the page is called “Outro: Ego” which is part of the “MAP OF THE SOUL: 7” album. 46.97.169.2 (talk) 08:18, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Fixed the factual error for "Just Dance".  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  08:30, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ Been meaning to add "Outro: Ego" for some time now, but kept forgetting to update it. Thank you for the reminder. --
