The interview took place during the Le Gala des Pieces Jaunes held last week. Aubery's post, originally in French, was immediately translated and shared over social media.

In her Instagram post, Aubery mentioned that she had only two minutes to interact with the Daydream singer. She used that time to ask him to do a dance challenge. At the end of the challenge, she handed him a huge croissant, as she always does towards the end of her interview. As j-hope was prepared to leave, he took the chance to compliment her on her Korean speaking skills.

"Hobi being the kindest human being ever...," wrote a fan, sharing the video and detailing a translation of the original French caption.
