BTS’s whirlwind week in June 2022 saw them making appearances at the White House and even making a surprising cameo at the Scripps National Spelling Bee. While the members weren’t physically present at the event, J-Hope’s name sparked laughter and amusement when a 14-year-old contestant was presented with the word “Tyrolienne.”
A Word From J-Hope
The word, which refers to a type of ropeway or cable car, was chosen for the young speller. As the contestant struggled to decipher the word, the announcer humorously pointed out that “J-Hope from BTS” had used the word in a recent interview. This unexpected mention of the K-pop star brought a wave of laughter and lightheartedness to the competition, reminding everyone that even the most serious events can have moments of unexpected fun.
