BTS' J-Hope has once again taken the spotlight with his latest single, Sweet Dreams, released on March 7, 2025. While the track itself has captivated fans worldwide, a particular moment in the music video sparked some amusing speculation.

The rumors began when eagle-eyed fans noticed that the woman’s face was not revealed, fueling playful theories that it might be J-Hope in disguise. The speculation gained traction, especially after a viral clip from the Sweet Dreamland fan event showed fans cheering loudly when J-Hope’s character met his love interest in the MV. 

However, the truth is finally out—it’s not J-Hope. The woman in question is actually Canadian model Shelby Maynard.



Shelby recently took to Instagram to confirm her role in the Sweet Dreams music video, sharing a behind-the-scenes reel about her experience. Her video, captioned “Come with me to star in a music video,” gives fans a glimpse of her time on set.

She included Polaroid snapshots of herself smiling and waiting for her scene, describing the opportunity as a huge honor and a special moment in pop culture.


She also shared a fun anecdote about filming with J-Hope. During the first few takes of their scene together, both of them were a little shy. She admitted she managed to stay in character until J-Hope himself broke the silence, saying, “Sorry, I’m a shy guy.”
