    If there is someone who knows how to tell a story, whether with or without collabs, it's j-hope. Cannot wait for what more he has in store for his fans.

    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

JITB contains an entire narrative arc—a rare opportunity these days to enjoy an album from start to finish, the way the artist intended. J-hope is one of the most popular artists in the world, but he still makes his story relatable: struggles with identity, inner demons, finding meaning and balance, and trying to find one’s place in the process of working for social justice. Fans of many genres should find a lot here to get excited about. And as proof, the Jack in the Box album was included in the Best 50 albums of year 2022 published by NME.

With JITB, he has a story to tell so I advise to listen to it from start to finish. He’s one of the few authentic artists nowadays. Looking forward for more of his music.

There Jhope discusses the need for us to see each other as one person despite our race and it really warmed my heart because it is a timely reminder we all need.… Expand

    As a music lover who listens to all sorts of music, i must say that JITB is a very unique album. When you first listen to it, it feels like you are being kicked really hard because of the vocals and metal instruments beautifully put together that it makes you think the composer/artist is very angry. But, as you listen and move to the other songs, you will feel like an imaginary hand isAs a music lover who listens to all sorts of music, i must say that JITB is a very unique album. When you first listen to it, it feels like you are being kicked really hard because of the vocals and metal instruments beautifully put together that it makes you think the composer/artist is very angry. But, as you listen and move to the other songs, you will feel like an imaginary hand is actually embracing and consoling you as you listen more to it. Since most of the songs are non-English, at first i listened to it by heart without understanding the lyrics and i was happy and contented with how J-hope made a successful music experiment. Moreover, i was more impressed when i looked and understood its lyrics. Gosh, it's super relatable especially the equal sign, stop, what if and safety zone.… Expand

    What a refreshing and exciting new sound! I liked the fusion of rap and rock. "More" and "Arson" are incredible tracks and immediate favourites. They are edgier sounds. This album is perhaps a bit different from the expected sounds associated with j-hope, but this proves how multifaceted of an artist he is. Great vocals, lyrics, ofc, and overall sound. The album's theme must be commendedWhat a refreshing and exciting new sound! I liked the fusion of rap and rock. "More" and "Arson" are incredible tracks and immediate favourites.

    It’s an old-school hip-hop song that’s really well done. Every sound that is put into the song is perfect and the meaning of the song is so good too.

    Hablando como una persona random y no como un fan, este álbum es arte...
    No usa autotune abusivo, tiene una voz muy estable y no usa los típicos ritmos pop que usan los artistas kpop. Lo mejor es que j-hope arriesgó todo con este álbum y le salió de maravilla... Él no se apegó a lo típico que la industria kpop hace, y eso la hace más brillante.

    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.”
