    I was absolutely blown away by JitB when it was released and it’s an album I can’t stop going back to, end to end!

It was such a powerful punch of pure rapline genius, it’s an incredible follow up to Hope World and shows so many different aspects of Hoseok. The documentary that followed showed us what most ARMY already knew, that Hobi wanted to craft it with his own two hands and that he had direct decision making in every aspect of the album being written, produced, and launched. He was our first runner for solo efforts that weren’t collabs and wow did he make an impression. The songs are powerful and the lyrics are amazing, there are so many layers, moods and emotions. Hearing Hoseok channel his drive and pride, his desire to succeed and his need to keep improving, and the meaning of HOPE in a world full of chaos and frustration. Hoseok is such a self-made and inspiring person, and it’s lowkey heartbreaking to hear how he’s struggled. I am so proud of him and will always have this album in my rotation. Expand

    They are easily the best 21 minutes spent, I have been following this artist for a long time and I could affirm without a doubt that this is one of his best works, so raw and real, so him but at the same time so new, it is enjoyable from start to finish.

    When you listen in order, you will understand more about the story behind it. Is so awesome how j-hope can portrait his own name (meaning) to his album. The songs are such bops. Every single one has their own type of music and gender, really cool!! I really like “Arson” great song!!!

    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.”
