    With his first official solo album, J-hope reestablished himself as one of todays greatest Korean songwriters. Whole album is well though through, creative, cohesive and brilliant. His storytelling skill combined with old-school hip-hop beats created a masterpiece that is yet to be matched by other Korean solo releases.

    Sounds that anyone can listen to and feel good about, the main pieces MORE and Arson are absolutely perfect if it's about superficial introduction but already inside you realize that it's just the beginning of what I would describe as a sublime work.
    J-hope has given us so much of himself on this album that could not have been perceived in any other way than Hope and Brilliance.

    Jhope truly expressing himself here, heartfelt and artistic. What a phenomenal album, how does one pick a favourite song? Equal Sign - thanks for speaking the truth, Hoseok.

    Wow what can I say about Jack in the Box it's everything I didn't know I wanted in an album. It shook me the first time I heard More and Arson is my go to song I literally can't get enough of that track it's on my daily playlist. J-Hope really floored me with this whole album from beginning to end.

    It's an album I can't skip a song to. The mixed vibe of aggressiveness and sensitivity is perfect. Everything that should be seen in a complete artist.

    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.”
