Before co-choreographing for BTS, Choi Young also worked as a backup dancer for the group. During the interview, the host, Bella Kim asked the choreographer to share some memorable experiences with BTS. To which he recalled a heartwarming story that highlighted the group's hard work. Choi Young Jun shared an anecdote that exemplified the kindness and consideration of one BTS member during an arduous dance practice. As the entire team was exhausted, one member of the boy band quickly fetched a water bottle.
Choi Young Jun initially assumed that the member intended to quench his own thirst, but he was pleasantly surprised when the bottle was offered to him instead. He insisted that the BTS member should drink first, as he could only imagine how physically taxing the practice had been for the group. However, that member insisted that Choi Young should have the water first and exemplified the group's genuine concern for others.
Only after Choi Young Jun took a drink did the BTS member finally accept the bottle, ensuring that other members of the dance team had their needs met first. The host then inquired Choi Young Jun about the identity of the BTS member behind this heartwarming gesture. Choi Young Jun revealed that it was none other than BTS's J-Hope, aka Jung Hoseok.
