Becky G is one of the most prominent young artists in the international entertainment industry, with an ever-expanding global influence. She first gained attention through online cover videos and quickly established her name with vibrant Latin-inspired нιтs such as “Shower,” “Mayores,” “Sin Pijama” (in collaboration with Natti Natasha), and “MAMIII” (featuring Karol G), which have dominated numerous international music charts.
Meanwhile, Becky G is one of the few female artists who has a connection with BTS and is widely loved by fans. The global artist built her relationship with j-hope when they collaborated on his solo track “Chicken Noodle Soup.” The two grew close through their musical collaboration and have since maintained a natural friendship both on stage and in their daily lives.
j-hope once invited Becky G as a surprise guest to perform with him on stage at Lollapalooza in 2022. Then, in March 2026, Becky G was seen standing among tens of thousands of fans at Gwanghwamun Square, waving an ARMY Bomb to cheer for BTS’s comeback performance. The two also frequently mention each other in interviews with clear affection and mutual respect, like close friends.
Notably, on April 2, Becky G once again personally spoke about her close friendship with j-hope and also shared the reason for her visit to кσяєα to attend BTS’s comeback live concert on March 21 in a video titled "The identity of the female friend BTS highly praised? | MMTG SHOW", uploaded on YouTube channel 'MMTG'.
When host Jaejae brought up her friendship with BTS and her recent trip to кσяєα, she wondered whether Becky had come because of j-hope. The singer confirmed, saying, "That's why I'm here. I'm so excited". She verified that she attended BTS’s performance at Gwanghwamun at j-hope’s invitation.
Notably, Becky G revealed that she had invited j-hope multiple times to a “Carne Asada” — a traditional Mexican BBQ gathering for family and close friends. It is clear that a connection that began through music has grown far beyond the stage into a genuine friendship. She shared, "I invite him to Carne Asada every single time," and added with regret that they have not been able to make it happen yet because j-hope is currently fulfilling his military service. Meanwhile, Jaejae responded, “I’m jealous of that friendship.”
Jaejae also brought up j-hope and Becky G’s performance at Lollapalooza, mentioning that j-hope had talked about his solo stage there when he appeared as a special guest on MMTG. Becky G recalled that moment and revealed an interesting behind-the-scenes story about the surprise planned for fans.
She explained, "The au∂ιєnce already expected me to show up," Becky G recalled. "So, to trick them, my sister posted a photo of me watching TV at home on social media right when the set started." She added, "Just as people were getting disappointed thinking I wasn't coming, I stepped onto the stage".
She continued, “j-hope was actually very nervous at that moment.” “I heard you and j-hope had this exchange. He said, ‘I’m so excited, but I’m kind of nervous. because my English (is not so good).’” Becky G responded, “Then I said 'Well, I don't know кσяєαn. We speak the same language. Music. It unites us all.” This response left host Jaejae in admiration.
Meanwhile, after Becky G’s episode was released on YouTube, j-hope directly showed his support and close friendship in return by sharing the video link on his personal Instagram account with the caption: “Becky, it’s been a while.”
Witnessing their friendship, fans couldn’t help but express their admiration: "Love this interview w/ Becky. Their friendship is so sweet", "Becky is seriously so Adorable. Definitely she's our ARMY's Gurl!", "the way she's supporting Hobi and BTS is just amazing", "Their friendship is so genuine and heartwarming", "I love how supportive they are of each other!", "This is such a beautiful cross-cultural friendship",...
