Crush recently opened up about his cherished collaboration with BTS J-Hope for the hit 2022 track Rush Hour. During an appearance on MBC Radio Star, the rapper shared heartfelt anecdotes from their time working together, revealing the unexpected bond they developed.
Crush described Rush Hour as his "most memorable" collaboration, praising J-Hope for his dedication and talent. Despite his global fame, the BTS member surprised Crush with his humility and hard work. “I was so nervous because he is a world star, but he kept encouraging me and saying I could do better during the recording,” Crush shared.
One particularly impressive moment Crush recalled was when J-Hope mastered the intricate choreography for Rush Hour in just 30 minutes. "It left me amazed," he said, emphasizing the idol's passion for music and dance.

What made their friendship even more special was a thoughtful and extravagant gift J-Hope presented to Crush. During J-Hope’s sister’s wedding, he gifted Crush a custom microphone adorned with Swarovski crystals. This stunning gesture left Crush and the Radio Star hosts astonished. Crush revealed he now uses the mic at his concerts, a testament to their growing camaraderie.
Released in 2022, Rush Hour cleverly uses the metaphor of traffic jams caused by fans eager to see their idols to describe life’s chaos. The track not only resonated with listeners but also achieved high rankings on music charts. Its music video has garnered over 59 million views, further cementing the collaboration’s success.
J-Hope, who recently completed his mandatory military service in October, has resumed solo activities. Fans are eagerly awaiting new music from the artist following his successful early 2024 release, HOPE ON THE STREET Vol. 1. Crush, on the other hand, made a comeback in November with his third album, WONDEREGO. Both artists continue to inspire fans with their talent and dedication to their craft.
