    Jack in the box is a new chapter of J-hope, which brings a new side of your self. If in Hope World we had an intimate and "sunny" side of BTS's J-hope, Hoseok built after Arson a darker side in his career. In addition, he had mentioned that Arson was one of the reasons why Jack in the box was born.

In addition, he had mentioned that Arson was one of the reasons why Jack in the box was born. In this sense, when we received in Blue Side spoilers in its cover art for the single, and about "burning in blue" its colorful world, Jack in the box presents its screaming colors but in a dichotomy the warm colors of hope world. 10 tracks make up the album, showcasing an eventful career, worldly and self-directed thoughts, with old-school emo-rock and hip hop genres. Reading the lyrics we can feel the sincerity of an artist who expresses a lot in RUN BTS how much his career has gone, but that each chapter feels like a new beginning.… Expand

    An amazing album that showcases all the various strong points of J-Hope that some people could still not be aware of. An amazing body of art clearly crafted with care and love towards music and it’s meaning. A 10/10, but nothing less could be expected from a BTS member.

    J-hope continues to amaze me with his artistry. The album is incredible. The storyline from start to finish, his musicality, his delivery unmatched. Talent, ambition, self-reflection, and dedication are few of the many elements that were necessary to create the master piece that is Jack in the Box.

    Jack in the box is the result of a musician who loves experimenting different genres and still keeping their roots, people who are lovers of old school hip hop, rock, r&b must check out this album. This show cases an artist's inner feelings very well and direct and the messages too are beautiful. I must say this is a new side of this artist's usual and this album leaps into new era of this artist.

    From the first song to the last song, high-quality storytelling stands out. Since it's a great album with organic qualities, I recommend you listen to it in order.I think it's better to listen to the whole album than just one song. It feels like I'm watching a movie or a book because it's connected to each other. Especially when the fire comes out at the end, it feels like it explodes.

    This album is a masterpiece. All songs are organically connected. So I recommend you listen to it in order from beginning to end. The second time is better and more addictive than the first time.

    One of the best albums from start to finish. J-hope tells a story as the album progresses from Intro to Arson, leaving listeners with a lasting impression of his unique artistry. Powerful lyrics that reflect on his identity and purpose really move me every time. The audio quality also gives me chills while listening, and it feels like I discover new adlibs and details with each listen.One of the best albums from start to finish.

    I like the image j-hope created in this album, the rock and hip-hop combined genres are a good combination.
    This album deals with a person's inner battle, full of passion and ambition, very honest lyrics from j-hope.
    The beat of the music is satisfying to listen to, there is no dull moment in this album. The song "Future" is full of hope and the whole album has a beautiful theme.

    Jack In The Box is a really great album and I hope He makes an album like this in the future. MORE is a standout from the album and it won't hurt if j-hope decides to pop out with a full grunge/rock album

    A masterpiece. I knew it was going to be good but its SO GOOD. Both singles More and Arson are incredibly well crafted, super energetic and very JHOPE. The album tracks shift from abrasive and driving, direct (What if, Pandoras Box) to melodic and soothing (Equal Sign, Future) but are equally enjoyable. The album flows smoothly from track to track, with allusions to greek mythology and theA masterpiece. I knew it was going to be good but its SO GOOD.

    Incredible. The concise flow of music, the way the beat transforms yet strings throughout every single song in the album is a show of talent, and a true understanding of music. Love the passion in every song, and the messages that spread love and strength for for targeted by hateful acts. Always looking forward to the next album! Jung Hoseok is a master of music and rap, no matter the genre!

    Jhope ... is amazing. This album shows his versatility and although its not a jhope we are used to seeing ...this album still sounds and feels so familiar that's it's like we knew this side of him all along. I love this "color" of Hobi, you can tell his soul is in this album. I love it

    It's a good album, the concept, the beats, the lyrics, everything is great. The only bad thing is that it is a very short album, one is left wanting to hear more. my favorite song is definitely Equal sign

    understandable if people aren't into hip hop or rock or prefer a poppy sound could find it not easy to digest. To those of us who love both those genres even without knowing what he's saying, sounds great. Excellent progression, beats, flow. Starts raging and ends raging, I loved it.

    Whether the music on Jack in the Box suits your taste or not, it’s hard to dismiss this album as an artistic statement rather than just chapter 1/7 of BTS proving they can also make money in ways beyond official group releases.

    The artist born Jung Ho-seok delivers emotional depth and irresistible energy. Backed by rowdy production, his aggression, raspy delivery, and tongue-twisting bars take center stage, showcasing the rap-focused perspective that he brings to the BTS formula.

    There’s an excellent three track run from “What if…,” an energetic song that samples Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya,” into mid-tempo standout “Safety Zone” before a touch of Hope World familiarity returns in the optimistic “Future.”
