J-Hope said:
“It’s not going to be simple to talk about who my role models are. To be honest, I’ve known them since the day I was born, but that’s what makes this such a difficult chore. How does one begin to discuss the individuals who have molded and formed them from infancy into the people they are today? I’m sure you’ve guessed by now that the individuals I’m referring to are my parents”.
“My parents did not have an easy life. My father served in the Army Reserves for 20 years before retiring. My mother found it exceedingly difficult to raise three children because of the frequent traveling and finding new schools, not to mention the daily bustle of caring for three. But, when I ask them about it, they agree it was difficult, but they always manage to make a joke about it. ‘When he got home, I used to put Hello My Name Is… name tags on all of you,’ my mother chuckles.”
