In a post, MTV put its heart and soul into admitting that they are obsessing over J-Hope’s Killin’ It Girl with GloRilla while admitting in gross vulgarity that they spent the whole damn weekend watching it on repeat. The post has been blessed with endless comments from fans expressing their own version of fervor for the track. The post held a moody, somewhat high-contrast photo of J-Hope lying down with a piercing gaze into the camera: the raw aggression embedded in the image just fit the track.

People were going berserk in the comment section, showering praise upon the BTS rapper. “J Hope took the lead in success 💜🔥” one user commented, while another said, “Just j-hope being perfect”. The post got flooded with expressions of excitement speckled with heart and fire emojis from all over the globe, from places such as Brazil, reinforcing J-Hope’s universal appeal. One excited fan added a Spotify link and said: `Who hasn’t?😂 Man is magnetic 😍.´
Taking a little different turn from the praise, some comments got downright aggressive. Many lamented MTV for not streaming TRL (Total Request Live), a nostalgia broadcast to greatness. “Why we can’t stream TRL ?? @mtv,” asked one user, while another clamored for more displays of J-Hope’s genius on their TV programming. That justifies the idea that, however much fury is online, there are still some who crave old-style TV airwaves.
One thousand comments from edgy territory: The whole video probably hit a chord with its edginess and J-Hope charisma. One fan actually dared to say: “O vídeo do ano! 🔥💜” (The video of the year) with many more saying the GloRilla collab is “un fuego” (on fire). MTV might have had no idea what to do with the vibes flowing through the comments—though, with a guy like J-Hope, maybe they did.
Otherwise, some comments bring stark remembrance to the cutthroat atmosphere of streaming culture. Someone said: “Si es en AM ok… Pero si las haces en YT o Sp ..estás haciendo mal stream, ten cuidado nene⚠️💜” (If it’s on AM [Apple Music] okay… But if you do it on YT [YouTube] or Sp [Spotify], you’re streaming wrong, be careful). That is an insider, very relevant point in today’s music biz, where streaming tactics can be a death or life sentence for an artist on the charts.
Lying loud and clear above was the general consensus: J-Hope is, in the truest sense of the word, ‘killin’ it’—both in the song’s title and crisp real life. Whether the praises were in Portuguese, Spanish, or English, the message was loud and clear: this video is everything. MTV’s screaming binge puts the video into high rotation at least for a few more days.
