J-Hope revealed that just like performing is essential for the stage, the visual aspects also leave an impact on viewers and convey the concept of the performance.

Whenever I perform, I want to try different styles. Performing itself is very important when it comes to performances, but I think the visual aspects that are shown are very important, as well.

J-Hope shared for various performances showcasing music from Jack in the Box including Lollapalooza and the MAMA Awards, he went with a dark and grim look that is inspired by the album.

However, he decided to choose music that is conceptually brighter for his New Year’s Eve performance which made him go for a lighter visual style, as well.

He even chose some cool accessories, such as his fingerless gloves that give off a “wintertime” vibe.

Additionally, he went for a minimalist style of nail art that added a little extra swag to his look. Inspired by the fashion style of rappers like ASAP Rocky, J-Hope always adds the coolest touches!
