More Affordable Than It Looks? The Necklaces J-Hope Wore on ‘Chef & My Fridge’ Revealed!

BTS member J-Hope made a special appearance on JTBC’s variety show 'Chef & My Fridge since 2014' alongside actor Heo Sung-tae. One particular accessory he wore quickly caught fans' attention.

In the episode aired on March 2, J-Hope’s personal fridge was unveiled. Inside, rows of sparkling water bottles and various drinks were neatly arranged. "I prefer sparkling water over regular water, so I drink it with every meal," he shared. His fridge also contained homemade side dishes from his mother, fermented fish, an assortment of sauces from delivery food, and even chocolate jam. "I love Korean food and have no trouble eating different cuisines when I travel abroad," he added.

Host Kim Sung-joo asked if any BTS members struggled with food overseas. J-Hope revealed, "RM and V are die-hard Korean food lovers, while Jimin has a kid’s palate—he loves pork cutlets and can't handle anything with strong spices."

Some of the standout ingredients in his fridge included beef brisket, fermented fish, and mangoes. His freezer was packed with ice cream, bread, and a childhood favorite—'Yong-gary' Chicken Nuggets. "I love them. When I want a light dinner, I just bake some," he said.

While exploring the seafood section, Kim Sung-joo and special MC Lee Eun-ji stumbled upon an unexpected item that made them recoil. "Oh, I have this in my fridge too!" Lee Eun-ji laughed. The mystery item? A plastic bag filled with chicken bones.

Caught off guard, J-Hope burst into laughter. "I collect general waste before throwing it out—I had no idea it was still in there!" he explained. Kim Sung-joo joked, "Good thing we checked, or we might’ve used it as an ingredient!" Webtoon artist Kim Poong added, "We were this close to making broth with it!" turning the studio into a scene of laughter.

After the episode aired, J-Hope’s layered necklaces also sparked interest. He was seen wearing pieces from DARKAI and NONENON.

The DARKAI necklace, called the Clover White Necklace, is priced at approximately 691,000 KRW (about $473 USD). Featuring a clover tennis chain design, 18K white gold coating, and hand-set brilliant-cut white stones, the piece is finished with a lobster clasp engraved with the brand’s logo. Available in both white and black, it complements everything from casual to formal outfits.

Meanwhile, his NONENON necklace, the DICE NEC, is a more affordable option at around 33,000 KRW (about $23 USD). Designed with a dice-shaped pendant, it’s a great statement piece that pairs well with a T-shirt and jeans. It comes in three lengths—S (35cm), M (45cm), and L (55cm)—with a pendant size of 0.9cm x 0.9cm.
