BTS members J-Hope, Jimin, and V recently had a fun group outing in Los Angeles, and fans quickly noticed a funny detail that revealed they had drinks together. The singers enjoyed a meal at a fancy restaurant in Malibu, and V shared photos on Instagram that showed their happy faces. However, it was J-Hope’s red neck that became the biggest talking point among fans, as it is a well-known sign that he had alcohol.
The group is currently in the US working on their new album, set for release in spring 2026. While Jungkook and Jin were not present, the other members had a lively time together. Fans laughed at the clear difference in J-Hope’s appearance before and after the meal, proving once again that he is a lightweight when it comes to drinking.
How Fans Figured Out J-Hope Had Alcohol
When V posted the selfies with J-Hope and Jimin, fans immediately noticed J-Hope’s flushed neck and cheerful expression. Longtime followers of BTS know that J-Hope has a low tolerance for alcohol, and even one drink can make his skin turn red. In the photos, he looked relaxed and happy, which confirmed suspicions that the group had enjoyed some drinks during their dinner.
“One glass of any drink, and he would be a goner. Not very fond of trying out various kinds, he sticks to one diluted concoction to get through the night.”
Fans compared these new pictures with earlier updates from Jimin, where J-Hope looked completely normal. The sudden change in his appearance after the meal was the biggest giveaway. Social media was filled with jokes about how J-Hope “can’t hide anything” when it comes to drinking.
BTS Members’ Different Drinking Habits
While J-Hope is known for being a lightweight, other BTS members have better alcohol tolerance. RM, Jungkook, and V have openly talked about enjoying drinks occasionally. Recently, Jimin even pretended to drink during a livestream, making fans laugh with his playful acting.
SUGA previously hosted a drinking show called Suchwita on BTS’s YouTube channel, where guests brought their favorite drinks. However, the show is unlikely to return for a second season due to SUGA’s military enlistment and his past e-scooter DUI incident, for which he publicly apologized.
BTS’s Current Activities in the US
The group is busy preparing for their 2026 album, and fans are excited for new music. Their recent outing in Los Angeles showed that they are also taking time to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Although Jin and Jungkook were missing, the other members made sure to have a good time.
Fans loved seeing the casual and fun side of BTS through these photos. The lighthearted moment also reminded everyone of the members’ unique personalities, especially J-Hope’s inability to hide when he’s had a drink.
