BTS member J-Hope just posed with a sculpture that appears to resemble actor Paolo Contis, and fans couldn’t help but be jealous of the K-star’s ‘museum date’ -pop.
J-Hope showed a video of himself looking at a sculpture of a huge sleeping head on the K-pop boy group’s Twitter page yesterday, November 1. The artwork is “Mask II” by Ron Mueck, according to a 2017 Release by the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas.

“At this point, I’m also jealous of Hobi. What I would give to be able to see a sculpture by Paolo Contis,” said another user @nica_twt. Hobi is J-Hope’s nickname.

Another fan, @jminsberry, referenced a statement Contis made in September, where he claimed he went to Baguio City with actress Yen Santos “as a friend,” amid the question of his breakup with LJ Reyes.
“Go to the J-Hope Museum [and] Paolo Contis as a friend,” joked the internet user.

According to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, “Mask II” is a mixed media self-portrait de Mueck and is “four times larger than life”.
Other K-pop idols who have visited the artwork are Cha Eun-woo from boy group Astro and Rosé from girl group Blackpink. J.B.
