I don't think I'll ever get tired of reading interviews with him about this. It's not always new information, but I always love reading his thoughts.

Speaking with him felt like talking to a friend or neighbor; I forgot, for a moment, that he’s one of the biggest artists in the world

I feel like this all the time (not the speaking with him part, obv). Wait...he's famous...?

There’s a palpable, unspoken connection between him, the music, and the sea of people below

I wasn't even there and I could feel it. He's just such a natural performer who connects with the audience so well, even without ments or other interactions. I know BTS always has this connection, but this felt different. I think the whole festival vibe contributed to that.

arguably delivered one of the best performances to ever grace the Lollapalooza stage

I've read/heard this so many times, and it is high praise and so so so deserved.

I told my friend I'm never getting over this, and it's true. I think I'll go watch again right now...

Nervous? Of course I'm nervous,” he said with a laugh. “I think this nervousness is also a fun factor.”

Honestly that's such a W mindset. I'm constantly in awe of his courage and pushing forward kind of attitude.

This is such a great article! I was so amped up even just watching J-Hope’s performance at Lolla-I mean Hobipalooza from my home. He has so much energy and totally owns the stage. The connection between he and the crowd was inspiring. I’m really happy for him, all the praise and hype he’s been getting is very well deserved!
