    Jack in the box es el claro ejemplo de que las personas no somos solo de una determinada manera, y agradezco infinitamente que j-hope no haya tenido miedo de mostrar la diversidad musical que vive dentro de él, porque es simplemente fantástica.

    I have not stopped listening to this album since it was released. j-hope is such a unique artist - his voice, his lyrics and his flow is something I’ve never heard before. As a big fan of Prince, De Ka Soul, Rage Against the Machine, D’Angelo, David Bowie and BTS, j-hope is up there among the greats. As a live performer, hands down he is the best of the best.

    after I listened to Jack in the Box, I realized that it is not a new side of jhope. it is the depiction of his vulnerabilities that we may have overlooked because we only saw his happy and bright side. This album sounded like a confession.

    Obsessed doesn’t even describe how I am currently feeling. I love albums that leaves me questioning for hours what my favorite track is, and Jack in the Box falls exactly under that type of album. Its cool to see an artist try so many different sounds and have a tracklist that connects /this/ well. Well done hobi!

The whole concept was amazing, the way each song tells you a story itself and Jung Hoseok connected them together so beautifully, it isn’t easy to do so, yet he had done it. His lyricsm is on another level, he is so poetic and can convey his messages amazingly. Also he managed to put out many different genres, diving into new ones too and showed his ability to go out of the box and try out new things and show different sides of himself. Everything about this album is great, the titles, lyrics, story behind them, sound, genres, everthing. Breathe of fresh air, whilst being raw and vulnerable, showing multiple meanings and stories and music to the ears. J-Hope has done it once again!… Expand

    This album is so well tied together right from the production aspect, the sequence of the songs, and the storytelling. It provides an insight into the beginning of Jhope, his fears, and desire for growth. I'm so glad that Jhope broke out of the box and is embracing new genres and visual elements. Looking forward to more from him.

The songs are perfectly cohesive & the lyrics are very introspective. I can't express enough how amazed I am with J-hope's brain, talents, and capabilities. This one defenitely deserves the universal-acclaims!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is such a masterpiece!! Here, J-Hope really experimented with music styles he hadn't used much before... it's a perfect insight into the person Jung Hoseok and the artist J-Hope. While the music itself is really immaculate, the lyrics of this album also are beautiful - the title tracks are full of his passion and ambition, about his love for his artistry and the ways he has matured and been influenced throughout his musical journey till now, but also about the inevitable darkness that comes with his line of work and how he embraces it...but as you keep listening to the album, you will find out that while the main character is definitely J-Hope, there are also a lot of words that are actually very relatable to life and people in general, but not in a way that makes you feel down...rather it's the opposite, it's actually really comforting - the way he tells his story, speaks his thoughts out makes the listener feel warm and comforted... Each one of the tracks has been created so so wonderfully...the unfolding of his person being done flawlessly and with a beautiful wrap-up!!! This album is a world in itself - a world of Jung Hoseok and J-Hope and we are fortunate enough to be spectators of it... all-in-all, this album is beautiful and J-Hope is a genius for this!!! I love it so so much!!! Would recommend this to everyone!! … Expand

I honestly felt 1000 different type of emotions while listening to this album. Arson and more the 2 title tracks are amazing and I'm particularly in love with their beats. Pandora box is the essence of who jhope is. This album is so different from hope world its the darker version of himself. But it's also him but raw. And the metaphor of the box is genius, he was living inside this box and Finally got out and burned it all. He also used the fire to represent the celebrity fame etc like a burning fire consuming him ? Or a fire that will continue to make him shine? .I like the meaning of arson and I think he did well placing it as the last song on the album. And I particularly liked the musicality of music box: reflection. In less words: jhope is an amazing artist, he is a genius and a great mind. The musicality the lyrics, the Rap, everything was on point, it's beyond expectations. He took risks and went out of his comfort zone , he made another someone's favorite song, another someone " safe zone" . He is amazing . He is our hope, our sunshine but beyond thay he is also jung hoseok with a full range of beautiful human emotions that unveiled in this albums.

    This album is meant to be listened to in order. Each song evokes different emotions for the listener and I just can't stop listening. J-Hope is SO multitalented and creative. His anxieties, concerns, and heart come through in each track. Nobody is doing it like him.

    "More" and "Arson" are dark and full of passion. The songs really set the done for the album, but my favorite songs are "What If" "Stop" and "Equal Sign". "What If" shows so much self-awareness, plus it has a great beat and a spellbinding feeling. "Stop (There are no bad people in the world)" is SO J-HOPE. This song is relatable. He captures the feeling of staying hopeful, despite anxiety and doubt of the goodness of human kind. "Equal Sign" is so catchy! The lyrics are beautiful.

    This entire album is a gift and I am so grateful for it.    … Expand

    JHope is a truly versatile artist, who's able to excel at everything he attempts. A very expressive rapper, with a flow that's out of this world. The production is impeccable and the lyrics are very well written.

    This is by far the best conceptual album with a clear concept and vision. Listening to it from top to bottom in order is an experience and it is a journey.

    Desde la intro hasta su último track, Jhope te toma de la mano y te cuenta una historia, su historia. Una historia que a pesar de los sacrificaos y tragos amargos, se aferra a la esperanza. Jhope además nos inspira a cuestionarnos cómo estamos viviendo nuestra vida y qué impacto tenemos en la vida de los demás. Me encantó, excelente trabajo!

    J-hope showed his versatility and delivered something totally unexpected and genuine. He showed a darker and more vulnerable side of him, delivering deep lyrics and important topics about his life and career. The strong presence of hip hop also adds different colors to the album. Impeccable vocals and production take us through the story told by the rapper. An amazing experience.

    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.”
