    Masterpiece! I always listen to it top to bottom. It tells a story and really fits my taste in music. Rap, pop, alternative elements in good proportions. Such a great album! And god, j-hope’s Lollapalooza performance! Amazing

    one of my favorite albums ever it's so dear to me that i can't even find the words to talk about it. just j-hope's journey of self discovery and his evolution as a rapper. it's just good music plain and simple.

    This Album is Jung Hoseok's life story , how a new name changed is life ofcourse not only name but a lot of hard work went into it .He through his actions n words gave hope to his fans but can he apply the same message to himself , would he havebeen this hopeful if he wasnt this successful . He also talks about social like equality irrespective of gender , nationality, sexuality andThis Album is Jung Hoseok's life story , how a new name changed is life ofcourse not only name but a lot of hard work went into it .He through his actions n words gave hope to his fans but can he apply the same message to himself , would he havebeen this hopeful if he wasnt this successful . He also talks about social like equality irrespective of gender , nationality, sexuality and instead of pointing our differences lets find the things on which we agree .STOP is about how he still believes in humanity and those who do bad inhuman things shouldnt be regarded as humans .Safety Zone is such a personal song according to me its that constant loneliness we feel as adults although we keep on doing our chores ,go out meet people but are constantly looking for that "place" or "person" where or with who we can be completely ourslef , our family cant understand our professional life and our friends are not as close as family , so he wants to know where is his "safe" place. Future is little bit brighter in comparison that he will still keep doing his best without knowing about future or what it will bring .Arson acc to me how he completely burned his self for this album or in his career as general that is worked really really hard and now is contemplating should he put out the fire or keep burning which will know in his next work. Junh Hoseok if you are reading this i want you to know that i am so proud of you and you have worked well .… Expand

    As a still pretty fresh fan, Jack in the Box was my introduction to Korean music and BTS. And wow was it an opener for me! It flows beautifully from start to finish and delivers some important messages throughout its entirety. My only wish is that it would be a little longer, but I’m sure it’s not the last time we hear something this good from J-hope.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jack In The Box, es un al álbum muy erótico que demuestra que el idioma no influye para ser una buena canción, letras tan dóciles cómo lo son las de este álbum pueden ser acompañadas con una melódica constante y dura (rap) en lo personal. Está es la clara demostración de que no tienes que hablar inglés para triunfar.… 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.”
