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.

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.
