    'JACK In The Box' es un álbum que nos muestra un lado diferente del artista que estamos acostumbrados a ver como "j-hope". En este álbum, Hoseok nos demuestra lo que es capaz de hacer aparte de ser una figura públicamente alegre y sonriente. Éste álbum trae consigo superación personal y la expectativa que tiene que romper de sí mismo con canciones como MORE y Arson. Son canciones fuertes,'JACK In The Box' es un álbum que nos muestra un lado diferente del artista que estamos acostumbrados a ver como "j-hope". En este álbum, Hoseok nos demuestra lo que es capaz de hacer aparte de ser una figura públicamente alegre y sonriente. Éste álbum trae consigo superación personal y la expectativa que tiene que romper de sí mismo con canciones como MORE y Arson. Son canciones fuertes, un estilo que le queda bastante bien, y que a su vez, sirven para dar a conocer esa parte de él de una manera poco ligera pero sin duda demasiado emocionante y épica. Aunque también entendemos que, si bien, 'Jack In The Box' era mostrar esa parte que nunca solemos ver en j-hope, también encontramos canciones como "Future" o "Equal Sign" que nos recuerdan un poco al estilo de su primer mixtape "Hope World". Dándonos a entender que tanto "Jack In the box" como "Hope world" son parte de Jung Hoseok. J-hope es un artista multifacetico que disfruta de hacer felices a sus fans, es una persona muy noble y cariñosa, pero también tiene su lado rudo, y él vaya que supo nivelar esas dos personalidades en su primer álbum de estudio "Jack In The Box".
    Si gustas darle una oportunidad a este maravilloso álbum, no te arrepentirás. Canciones como las dos últimas mencionadas tienen en ellas su más grandes deseos y sus miedos, el futuro. J-hope sabe siempre como dar un mensaje con sus canciones, y siempre son mensajes positivos, merece la pena entrar en esa caja para poder encontrar qué misterios traerá Pandora.    … Expand

    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.”
