BTS' J-Hope might have been sending the malicious site 'Ilgan Best' a message of his own!

The boys' "Ma City" is a part of their recent 'HwaYangYeonHwa Part 2'. In it, the three rappers talk about their home towns - Rap Monster talks about Ilsan, J-Hope talks about Gwangju, and Suga talks about Daegu - and Jimin and Jungkook sing about their own home town Busan. In general, it's how proud they are to be from their city.

However, J-Hope's lines have caught attention from fans. Or, more precisely, his ending lines that say, "If you want to see me, come gather at 7 o' clock. Everyone press 062-518." The site 'IlBe' degrades Gwangju often, especially the 5-18 Democracy Uprising that ended in the massacre in the city. '7 o' clock' is one of the terms used for Gwangju because it is at the 7 o' clock position on the map. '062' is Gwangju's area code, and the '518' seems to be referring to the uprising.

J-Hope himself said in an interview, "I'll leave the interpretation to the listeners," neither confirming nor denying the read. No matter what, "Ma City" is a great song, so make sure to take a listen if you haven't already!
