    Jack in the box es un álbum muy variado, el artista expresa su historia a su manera mostrando otra faceta suya y que quiere mostrarle a sus fans.

    This album showed the other side of the artist (j-hope). He is not afraid to try new genre and innovates himself. I hope people will discover his work and appreciate his music.

    Hands Down, the best album of 2022!!! j-hope is a genius! Cohesive in sound and story. While seemingly dark, and tackling issues that plague j-hope, the album is a brilliant masterpiece that is also full of energy, hope, and love

    Realmente me fascinó el álbum porque hay muchos sonidos nuevos, desde la creación de Arson y More, hasta Stop y el más calmado Music Box. Lo recomendaría ya que es muy singular y eso me gusta mucho. Felicidades al artista que he escuchado trabajo mucho para lograrlo y en serio lo logró

    Jack in the box es, en mi opinion, el mejor trabajo de esta era en solitario para j-hope. Es un álbum cohesivo, donde es notable que cada canción está colocada en un orden por una razón.

    Excelente mezcla músical, un gran músico en potencia, rompiendo paradigmas de ser un Idol del K-Pop de la banda mundialmente reconocida 'BTS' , un género completamente distinto a lo ya conocido de J-hope, vale mucho la pena escucharlo. Gran joya músical!!

    j-hope is an amazing album with thoughtful meaning, Equal Sing as What If are song that will make you re-think your behavior, and Future as a warm and heartwarming song, I hope everyone could listen to this album and learn more about themselves as much as to learn about j-hope's artistry

    This album showed how great j-hope is! The order of the songs are well thought of. The lyrics are very relevant. My faves are Equal Sign, Future and Pandora's box. Two thumbs up for j-hope! Can't wait for the world tour with these songs...

    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.”
