Next up, we see TWICE’s Nayeon and Momo arriving at the studio, mentioning it’s their first time at HYBE since the girl group belongs to JYP Entertainment. After some random yet polite and friendly chat, Hobi casually mentions how he had been practising with Yunjin while waiting for the two. As they work through the Sweet Dreams challenge together, J-Hope steps in to help guide Nayeon and Momo through some of the trickier moves. The two even joke they should’ve trained at HYBE instead and thank him for his support.

As soon as the video dropped, fans from both fandoms lit up social media, pointing out the clear sibling energy between J-Hope and Nayeon. One fan wrote, “I knew it! BangTwice are just friends.” Another said, “Nayeon and J-Hope are total besties!” Some couldn’t hold back their excitement, with one saying, “Seeing a proper TWICE x BTS interaction after all these years is like finding a waterfall in a desert!” Another added, “Bruh, that BangTwice moment felt so light. I’m convinced they’re close friends.”One fan gushed, “I was so happy to hear Nayeon call Hobi ‘oppa.’ I’m glad they’re close!” And, of course, San’s comment about wanting to be hugged by Hobi had everyone agreeing—“Us, San. Us!”
