BTS member J-Hope has truly made a mark in the U.S. market, and it’s clear that his popularity knows no bounds!

On February 28th, during the latest episode of MBC’s variety show I Live Alone (episode 585), viewers got a glimpse into J-Hope’s daily life in LA, where he was busy working on his solo album.

The episode showed him visiting a busy shopping mall in California, and what happened next was nothing short of amazing.

While shopping for meat at a butcher’s shop, J-Hope was approached by a young girl who asked, “Can you take a photo with my sister?”

This request was just the beginning! Soon after, more fans gathered around asking for photos and autographs.

One man even mentioned, “My friend works here, can I get an autograph?” But the real shocker came when a grandmother approached him and said, “My grandchildren are your fans.”

Park Na Rae was in awe, exclaiming, “It doesn’t matter the nationality. Even grandmothers are coming!”

J-Hope, always humble, couldn’t believe how widely recognized he was. “I didn’t think I’d be recognized in the local market,” he admitted.

But Jeon Hyun Moo quickly shut him down, saying, “What are you talking about? You’re a world star.”

He continued, “Americans usually don’t do that kind of thing. Even if Keanu Reeves takes the subway, people don’t acknowledge him.”

Jeon Hyun Moo’s words perfectly captured just how incredible J-Hope’s global fame has become!

From fans of all ages to being recognized in the U.S. with ease, J-Hope is truly a world star!
