    Almost a year before I can say this is an amazing album, we can see a complete different phase of J-hope as an artist and its perfect.

    Despite what troll reviews are saying, this was a fresh album and I loved each song, particularly 'Equal Sign', 'Arson', and 'Future'. Not only does the album carry good and personal messages, it's sure to get you up and moving, whether it's to jam out or to give you motivation to be productive! I love that it's so different and not at all what was expected from him (in a good way).

    I LOVE JACK IN THE BOX!! The darker and rockier style was a pleasant surprise, after all I loved this style since long before. I find that JHope's voice matches the style very well (especially on Arson), I really love his voice. Regarding the lyrics, JHope is always very personal and tries to explain his feelings through his music! To avoid spoilers, I recommend you to compare between JITBI LOVE JACK IN THE BOX!!

    It is one of the best albums I have heard, not to say the best, the fact that it conveys so much feeling and that it has been done from the heart gives it even more meaning...
    I have no words to express how immensely happy listening to the album makes me, with it all my worries go away, very good album

    Este álbum no tiene ningún “skip”, me encanta escucharlo de inicio a fin, para ser sincera mi canción favorita y la que más me sorprendió fue “What if…” pero siempre me gusta escuchar “Equal Sign =“ a la gente que conozco como recomendación, ¡y siempre a todos les gusta! muy buen álbum, es diferente a sus anteriores mixtapes, pero toda su discografía es muy buena.

    Amazing album, both promoted songs, Arson and More sound great. From the b-sides, I personally really enjoyed Stop and Future, while Safety Zone struck an emotional chords.

    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.”
