Some fans have pointed out that produce Code Kunst has recently started following j-hope on Instagram.
Netizens commented in response, "As a big fan of Korean hip-hop, I'm so happy to see these people recognizing j-hope", "All of those rappers who used to give BTS crap in their rookie days... where are they now?", "I hope that these hip-hop artists are posting about 'MORE' because they were actually interested in the music, and not just because it's 'BTS coin'", "j-hope reposted some of these. It's good to see j-hope getting to know the artists in the hip-hop scene".
Yes! It's awesome to see MORE get the recognition it deserves. And I don't think it's just them trying to get in good with BTS fans, because these are some really well-respected names in Korean hip-hop -- not people who need to try and pretend to like an idol group for clout. That's not the dynamic at all!
