During a recent appearance on the YouTube show “After Inkigayo, Let’s Go to the Snack Bar,” titled “Our Snack Bar Goes Global? Chaos Thanks to J-Hope Killing It at Dawn”, featured J-Hope as a guest alongside IVE’s Leeseo and ZEROBASEONE’s Han Yujin. The singer showcased his signature charm while sampling newly released snacks recommended by the two idols struggling to hide his candid reactions.

Showing his gratitude, J-Hope also prepared handmade rice balls for the production team. While sharing BTS’s diverse food preferences, he noted, “Jimin, Taehyung, and Namjoon are fans of Korean dishes like kimchi fried rice. Suga and I tend to explore local food when traveling. Jin hyung, though his taste is really fixed.”

Leeseo then asked, “Have you listened to IVE songs?” to which J-Hope enthusiastically replied, “I listened to IVE a lot in the military. My juniors would be freaking out right now seeing me here with IVE. Are you watching this? This is who your hyung is.”

He went on to reveal that “Off The Record” is his favorite IVE song, even recalling specific scenes from the music video—leaving Leeseo visibly surprised.

“To soldiers, IVE is really royalty,” J-Hope added, drawing laughter from the studio.

Leeseo responded by shaping a heart-shaped rice ball and cheering, “Hang in there during your service!”

The web variety show “After Inkigayo, Let’s Go to the Snack Bar” is produced by Studio Prism and serves as a spin-off of SBS’s Inkigayo. Hosted by Inkigayo MCs Leeseo and Han Yujin, the show features their lighthearted chemistry with guests and the signature bunny logo found on Inkigayo microphones.
