Alright ARMY, let’s talk about the fandom’s favorite pastime—recirculating rumors whenever someone dares to mention a BTS member alongside another idol. This time? It’s for real (or not). J-Hope casually mentioned TWICE’s Jeongyeon in Sana’s Fridge Interview, and the internet lost its collective mind. And, naturally, Jimin’s name got dragged back into the spotlight.
A Casual ‘Hey, Hey!’ Sparks Wild Speculation
During an episode of Sana’s Fridge Interview, J-Hope shared a memory from long before either group debuted: he once saw Jeongyeon at the 6th JYP public audition. They weren’t tight, but he greeted her like an old acquaintance, jokingly apologized for not staying in touch. According to him, the vibe was warm and supportive—a far cry from drama.
Cue fans yelling: “What happened between Jimin and Jeongyeon???” The rumor mill cranked up again. All because J-Hope cross-referenced names. Priorities, right?
The Myth of the Jimin–Jeongyeon Beef
Let’s get one thing straight: there’s never been any confirmed tension between Jimin and Jeongyeon. The whole rumor started because fans once interpreted Jimin’s fanchant expression during a Spring Day stage as “confused” when TWICE’s Jeongyeon joined. People crafted entire conspiracy theories from that tiny moment.
Now, J-Hope evokes the names again, and suddenly the drama reboots. But it’s all speculation—mixed with a healthy serving of fandom imagination.
Fans: Shipping, Memes, and Requests for the Tea
Not to be outdone, ARMYs went full detective:
“Hobi, spill the tea now! What’s up with Jimin and Jeongyeon?”
Others joked, “Let Jimin appear on Jeongyeon’s show to solve the mystery!” The internet definitely found content, even if it’s none of our business.
Reddit chimed in—someone theorized that Jimin might’ve gently “stopped” J-Hope from getting close to Jeongyeon. Again: fan fiction dressed as analysis.
Why This Happens Every Time …
TWICE and BTS debuted in similar timelines, performed on the same stages, and share tons of fan overlap. Somewhere along the line, fans started inventing “hidden tensions”—a bizarre hobby where idle speculation turns into “deep lore” overnight.
Let’s be clear: no one involved confirmed any beef. And J-Hope’s anecdote merely confirms he once recognized Jeongyeon in a supportive moment. Not exactly scandal material.
Final Thoughts: Fun to Speculate, But Don’t Forget Reality
A peek into the past doesn’t mean drama. J-Hope greeting an old audition peer isn’t cause for sheets of conspiracy theories. This isn’t a showdown—it’s nostalgia.
So enjoy the clip. Laugh at the fan theories. But maybe let the idols live their own lives without turning every mention into fan-fiction fuel.
TL;DR:
- J-Hope mentioned meeting Jeongyeon at a JYP audition long before either group debuted
- Fans immediately connected it to rumors of tension between Jimin and Jeongyeon—a mystery cooked up from a 2017 fan-chanted moment
- There’s zero confirmation of any beef—just fandom snooping for a story
- Bottom line: J-Hope said hello; fandom invented drama
Let that chill on your timeline.
