One OP shared that J-Hope’s reaction did not seem impressed by Nicole’s attitude.
Look at jhopes face even.
Nicole if you’re on X, better be careful of your attitude with Jimin and the rest of the boys. Stop disrespecting Jimin.
You work for them, they do not work for you, respect them and respect yourself!! It’s very simple https://t.co/GFkEuX7hmk pic.twitter.com/7TaolkEbg7
