"He wants to break the internet": Internet reacts as BTS' J-hope expresses his willingness to collab with Doechii and Rihanna

BTS' J-hope is set to wrap up his solo tour, Hope On The Stage Tour, on June 1, 2025. More recently, he became the first Korean male singer to be featured on Billboard's cover for its May edition. The singer spoke about his solo journey and revealed artists he would like to collaborate with. Just like fans around the world, J-hope revealed he wonders,

"When will Rihanna drop the next album?"

He noted that she is an "artist" he has "loved" since his childhood. He added,

"Lately, I've also been inspired by rappers who have a very powerful presence like Doechii and Sexyy Red. I am very much inspired by those artists at the moment."

X account BTS Charts Daily shared the clip from the interview on its channel. Users took to the comment section to express their excitement. One user (@bleedpurpleot7) added multiple heart emojis and wrote,

"He wants to break the internet!"

Another fan (@times39389) added,

"omg can you imagine jhope collabing with Rihanna Doechii and Sexyy Red that would be iconic I need it to happen asap."

One fan (@Vikkihope17) wondered,

"What if one of the 3 will be the feature for his new single."

Few fans appeared to be skeptical about the collaborations. One user (@GBsuperstarsBTS) added,

"I'm honestly so done with the collab questions. I don't really care for collabs anymore, most of their solo music is 1000x better on their own lol."
