K-pop sensation LE SSERAFIM is preparing a special treat for their fans with the upcoming single album, "Spaghetti," which will feature a highly anticipated collaboration with j-hope of BTS. The news, unveiled on Monday, October 20, confirmed that the acclaimed boy band singer would participate in the quintet’s project, marking a significant milestone as his first-ever team-up with a K-pop girl group.

The exciting announcement was made through an intense video teaser titled “The Kick,” released on YouTube. The teaser showcased j-hope in a distinctive Matrix-esque outfit and shades, appearing under dynamic flashing strobe lights. The video concluded with an enticing glimpse of the vocal performances from LE SSERAFIM members KIM CHAEWON, SAKURA, HUH YUNJIN, KAZUHA, and HONG EUNCHAE, alongside j-hope, building anticipation for the full release. "Spaghetti" is scheduled to drop on Friday, October 24.

This collaboration follows LE SSERAFIM's successful "Hot EP," which made a notable debut at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 charts. While this marks j-hope’s first official collaboration with a girl group, he has previously teamed up with LE SSERAFIM member HUH YUNJIN on the track “I Don’t Know,” featured on his solo EP, "HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1."

Beyond his work with LE SSERAFIM, j-hope is actively involved in preparations for BTS’ highly anticipated reunion in 2026. All seven members of BTS – RM, Jin, Jimin, Jung Kook, Suga, and V – have now completed their mandatory military service in South Korea. The group has begun teasing the resumption of full-band activities next year, with RM recently hinting at a major event planned for March. At W Korea’s Love Your W event on October 15, RM stated, “We have to keep preparing for the album — we’ll shoot the album photos and film the music video. Please look forward to late March.” J-hope playfully added to the excitement at the time, questioning, “It’s been a while — should we start dance practice again?” Fans are encouraged to watch LE SSERAFIM and j-hope’s “The Kick” teaser in anticipation of their upcoming joint project.
