Moving on from Hobicore
He’s been the sunshine for the group for years, but he has now started to go edgier and sharper while making fashion choices. J-Hope’s debut solo album Jack in the Box showcases his emo kid side. While his aesthetic has changed considerably, he does channel his “Hobicore” look quite often too. His love for KAWS and MURAKAMI are the key features of the hobicore aesthetics. The pop colours, Murakami flowers, lots of oversized clothing, chunky jewellery & most importantly good shoes, all create a stunning “Hobicore” aesthetic.
It is only recently that the BTS band members have recently started their individual accounts. J-Hope doesn’t shy away from sharing his OOTDs, giving all the brands he likes shoutouts. His instagram posts have curated polaroids of his outfits.
