On the “Tonight Show,” J-hope of BTS performs “Sweet Dreams” with Miguel and declares that he wants to collaborate with Kendrick Lamar: Observe
The singer got ARMY in formation early on Monday night (March 10) during his appearance on The Tonight Show when he snuck out during Jimmy Fallon’s monologue for a bit, making fun of the host’s lame dance moves.
“I wish I could dance even a 10th as well as he can,” Fallon lamented of his skills compared to his guest, as Roots drummer Questlove assured Jimmy that he indeed had smooth moves. Busting into some seriously cringe-worthy dad choreography, Jimmy gyrated to massive screams as a smiling Hobi slipped on stage to show him how it’s done, leaving Fallon thinking that he’d killed it. “You love my dancing!” Fallon blushed.
The singer came back for a sit-down chat, beginning with his favorite things to do when he visits the U.S. Fallon noted that the K-pop superstar recently made his first visit to In-N-Out Burger and he asked how it went. Switching from Korean to English, J-Hope said he ordered a cheeseburger, animal-style, a vanilla milkshake and fries. “It was good… very salty and cheesy and sweet, but not healthy,” he smiled.
After Fallon shared a recent Instagram post in which Hobi busted out his best Kendrick Lamar “Not Like Us” shuffle dance, the singer confirmed that he’s never met K-Dot but is down for a collab. “I’m ready to work with you, Kendrick,” he said to screeches from the studio audience as he did a command performance of the signature dance from Lamar’s Drake-destroying single.
In addition to talking about his early days in the underground dance crew Neuron—which was inspired by the first time he heard the clothes-to-the-back kid rap duo Kriss Kross—J-Hope said that, like Fallon’s pal Justin Timberlake, when he’s in the studio he can’t help dancing to his own songs and dreaming about what it will be like to perform them live.
“Whenever I listen to music, something comes to mind,” he said. “And I think of how I want to express that on stage.”
