    Este álbum representa una escencia totalmente opuesta a la que nos tiene el artistas y esto también aplicaría para nosotros y nuestro otro YO, lo diferentes que podemos ser, ocultando las cosas, lo que sentimos un álbum que te llena de nuevas experiencias.

    THE BEST!
    I am not new to the magic of j-hope. Started following his music from hopeworld. Apart from his work with his band BTS, his own artistry from 1 verse to his latest on the street with j. Cole is mind blowing. JITB was such a breakthrough from whatever fans expected ( we never know what to expect with j-hope though

Despite not understanding Korean, I easily lose myself in the music and the soothing yet powerful notes and feel his message reverberating in my soul. In each listen to the album, I discover something new, a detail I've missed that brings me back for MORE.

    Jack in the box is such a banger. Hobi as an artist proved himself. Such a versatile artist. Literally can pull off anything he wants to. The new dark and raw side of his was soo cool and mind blowing. As a person who love rap songs, Jhope is surely one of the best rappers on this planet.

    This album is a masterpiece. Jhope shows a side of his personality that his fans didn’t know existed. He shows a lot more vulnerablity in this album than his other mixtapes by diving into diverse genres. He opens up about his passion for his art in this album along with the outcomes that his fame has brought to him.

The music seems loud but with very deep lyrics, like in the songs More, Arson and What If. There are quieter songs like Equal Sign and Future. The point is all the songs on this album are completely outside the BTS zone and definitely not kpop songs like in general. Listen and you will fall in love with Jack In the Box.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wish I was an established music buff so that my review would be taken as seriously as I need it to be but GOD everyone needs to listen to this album. Even if it's not typically your thing, I promise you that you'll vibe with it because j-hope pulls from all sorts of influences that go way beyond kpop. He goes way beyond kpop and I'm so proud that he's getting the recognition he deserves. Intro and Pandora's Box are situated perfectly in the album; the intro hooks you in and intrigues you as it leads straight into Pandora's Box, giving you a little taste--a little nibble--of what you're really in for. An amazing introduction to j-hope for first-time listeners. His song "MORE" alone shows off his insane range and unmatched ability to seamlessly blend genres that you wouldn't expect. I'll actually never shut up about MORE because (I'm sorry but) no one in the kpop industry could make a song like that. Future and Equal Sign are beautiful musically and they carry so much power in the lyrics. Literal anthems of hope!! STOP needs to be talked about and studied by producers, writers, all musicians, even sociologists, and psychologists can learn from it. WHAT IF is wonderfully nostalgic for hip-hop fans and serves justice to a sample of an iconic classic--listen to the album if you're curious ;). Safety Zone for me can be seen as a part two to Blue Side off of his first mixtape as they both explore the importance of finding and owning a sacred place to reflect on yourself. The song just puts you in that relaxing, introspective mood. Even the interlude Music Box: Reflection is addicting in a creepy, alluring way. And Arson...what a way to end a masterpiece of an album. PLEASE read the lyrics (or translations) to all the songs but if I had to pick one to urge everyone to read, it would be Arson. I think anyone reading those lyrics would have a better understanding of j-hope as an artist and as a person. I would say more but I don't want to waste your time because you ~could~ stream Jack In The Box right now. If you're here, I mean, you might as well. :)

    This album did what it needed to do. It told the world that Jhope is more than a smiling face who dances for a boyband. Jhope is an all-rounder performer who can sing, rap and dance. His rapping and lyricism in this album alone put him up there with the icons of this generation. This album proves that Jung Hoseok is the Greatest Of All Time and the actual ACE OF KPOP. Mic drop.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album is pure masterpiece.J-Hope is not concerned with making a play for chart status; there are no songs of the summer. Unlike BTS’s most recent releases, many of which leaned into bright pop and were sung in English, his Korean rapping is foregrounded, with a few English lines thrown in for emphasis. This feels like early BTS: experimental, influenced by classic hip-hop, unapologetic. (He even samples Wu Tang Clan and Ol Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya.”) It does not sound like the K-pop many newer fans may be used to, of singable choruses and uplifting messages meant to make summer brighter or get the people dancing.
    With Jack in the Box, though, he returns to his roots as a serious rapper, and to BTS’s roots as an act focused on shedding light on the fears that drive us. The album is mostly in Korean, with no features. The first half is tinged with darkness in its beats and its focus; the second half a bit lighter, with some R&B moments.J-Hope has not lost that passion for personal growth and willingness to be his own critic. He also uncovers a new desire to be open with his audience about the pressures of the last decade of hard work.    … Expand

    El arte no tiene restricciones y jhope con JACK IN THE BOX manifiesta tanto deseo como aspiraciones, expresando que el conformismo no debería normalizarse, que la sociedad debería quitarse prejuicios para aspirar a más.

    “Jack in the box” was a completely different concept from J hope. His personality and previous mixtapes always represented him as a shiny human, but his recent album showed his ability to be more than just a “nice guy”. Originally he wasn’t a rapper, so it’s even more exciting for me to witness his raw thoughts. “=“ is my most beloved song on this album.

    The album was cohesive with every song flowing well with the theme, experimental vocals and genre fusion like I've never heard before.

    This album was a totally unexpected surprise in terms of sound. I love each song, I love a story behind the list of the songs. My personal favourites are Pandora's Box and What if... , i enjoy the sound of both a lot. This is AOTY! Thank you, j-hope for the art!

    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.”
