Following Bad Bunny's historic performance at the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, BTS member J-Hope has publicly shown his support, causing a stir among fans online. The Puerto Rican rapper headlined the halftime show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, joined by guest appearances from Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, and Los Pleneros de la Cresta.

J-Hope, upon returning to South Korea from Portugal, took to Instagram to share a clip from Bad Bunny's performance, simply adding "Wow!!! 👏👏" to his story. This instantly ignited social media, delighting fans of both artists and fueling speculation about a potential future collaboration.

This isn't the first time J-Hope has expressed his admiration for Bad Bunny. He has previously shared Bad Bunny's music on his Instagram, including vibing to "DTMF" during an Instagram Live session and posting Bunny's 2022 hit track "Tití Me Preguntó" on his story. This consistent support solidifies J-Hope's status as a dedicated fan of the Latin superstar.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance was a landmark event, watched by over 135 million viewers, and celebrated for its focus on Latinx joy and its message about the people of Puerto Rico. The performance also carried a political message, with Bad Bunny redefining "America" and "American" as a continental identity and criticizing the United States' actions in Puerto Rico and Hawaii.

J-Hope wasn't the only celebrity to praise Bad Bunny's performance. Blackpink's Rosé, who attended the Super Bowl, expressed her love for the performance on her Instagram story. Other celebrities like Kacey Musgraves, Kerry Washington, Camila Cabello, and Nick Jonas also shared positive reactions.

The Super Bowl LX halftime show was officially known as the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. Bad Bunny made history as the first Latino solo artist to headline the show and the first to perform almost entirely in Spanish. The performance was broadcast nationally on NBC, Peacock, Telemundo, and NFL+.
