    At this point all know BTS name, we all know how their infamous fanbase "Army" has worked to put them in the place they are today as one of the most famous and influential pop artist of our generation. Their fanbase is both loved and hated but, what drives them to put their all to boost this group to the heights they are today? Is just their charms and handsomeness enough for that? Or isAt this point all know BTS name, we all know how their infamous fanbase "Army" has worked to put them in the place they are today as one of the most famous and influential pop artist of our generation. Their fanbase is both loved and hated but, what drives them to put their all to boost this group to the heights they are today? Is just their charms and handsomeness enough for that? Or is really a matter of talent and good music? Looking at their impressive antology album Proof and the members solo endeavours I came to a conclusion: is a mix of all above. Previously J-Hope presented his Hope World mixtape, a collection of songs where he showed his colorful and optimistic persona. But everyone has multiple self in oneself. In Jack in the Box J-Hope shows us a more dark, introspective and complex self portrait. He explores in a very effective way a interesting take on the fame he and his band mates have achieved, how the glamour of that fame is nothing compared with the will of being content with his art quality. He also asks himself if everything he has achieved would be taken away, he could keep his optimistic thinking? What make people evil or good, the enviroment? The oportunities? Those kind of questions you may not expect from a boy band member (a conventional one, we have to agree BTS is everything but conventional), all accompanied with guitar riffs, some gutural vocals (made me think about the old days of nu metal), classic hip hop samples and his more than proven rapping habilities. If
    J-Hope first solo album is our first oportunity to have a glimpse of what the BTS members have to offer as individuals, they definitely have A LOT.

    If you want to hear j-hope´s live performance with this album Jack In The Box you can listen to Lollapalooza 2022 . It was a huge success.

The documentary that followed showed us what most ARMY already knew, that Hobi wanted to craft it with his own two hands and that he had direct decision making in every aspect of the album being written, produced, and launched. He was our first runner for solo efforts that weren’t collabs and wow did he make an impression. The songs are powerful and the lyrics are amazing, there are so many layers, moods and emotions. Hearing Hoseok channel his drive and pride, his desire to succeed and his need to keep improving, and the meaning of HOPE in a world full of chaos and frustration. Hoseok is such a self-made and inspiring person, and it’s lowkey heartbreaking to hear how he’s struggled. I am so proud of him and will always have this album in my rotation. Expand
