J-Hope, who’s part of the seven-member K-pop supergroup BTS, is off to the US to ring in 2023. The K-Pop idol will be making his solo debut at American TV personality Dick Clarke’s New Year’s Eve bash in New York.

A chirpy Hobi was spotted at the airport, leaving Seoul for his performance in NYC. Jung Ho-Seok blew kisses at the fans and media present at the airport. Not just this, the idol broke into a quick dance, where he gave finger-hearts to fans before heading to board his flight.
