The BTS Song With A Choreography So Difficult, Even J-Hope Finds It “Insane”
BTS‘s J-Hope is known for being one of the best dancers in K-Pop. That doesn’t mean, however, that every single choreography is easy to him.
In a new interview with Esquire, he was asked to choose the more difficult choreography between two popular songs of the group. One of them was “IDOL” (2018)…
…and the other was “ON” (2020).
J-Hope didn’t need to think long before saying his answer. He started by acknowledging the merits of “IDOL” which was their hardest choreography at the time.
‘IDOL’ choreo used to be very difficult. All the members thought so, too, so we changed a few parts.

At the end of the day, however, “ON” was undoubtedly the winner.
But the ‘ON’ choreo wins. I’ll go with ‘ON.’
— J-Hope
He described it as an incredibly “insane” choreography. The whole song was intense, and yet the dance break towards the end was the most mind-blowing yet in his eyes.
It’s really insane, especially the dance break. It kills all others.
— J-Hope
In fact, the entire group almost passed out when they performed it on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Though each of the seven members has extensive experience on stage, the dance for “ON” proved to be a challenge even for them.
I remember when we performed ‘ON’ on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. We almost passed out afterwards.
— J-Hope
The members were captured sweating profusely and breathing hard right after finishing the recording, proving J-Hope’s point.
