    King of hip hop and his album being king of albums. Jack in the box is a classic hip hop with elements of J-hope and it's so good. My favourite track is equal sign this album is everything an artist want to say to the world

    Jack in the box is an album that conveys a strong and important message about what real life is and what’s behind a successful artist when we don’t see him. Each of its songs is delivered in a magistral way including thoughtful lyrics and well-produced music. This is a worth-listening masterpiece.

    This is a banger album! Authentic rap. He really paid homage to old school rap and it is refreshing!

    This album deserves more promotion! The company failed to tap into this masterpiece's potential and j-hope's talent needs to be shared to the world!

    This is the reason why j-hope's market is in the West who has advanced and diverse taste in music. Korean are too outdated and could not appreciate talent and skills!

    Always I felt that Jhope has a special ability to transform his bright energy into an absolutely delightful darkness. I love so much this album, because it has a story, fluency in description, poetry, minimalistic touches but strong and meaninful. Jack in the box is a MUST for a good music listener.

    I'm honestly not a fan of k-pop but this album changed my thoughts. Although it doesn't feel like pop music but old school Hip Hop. I loved that each song is a journey into a story and that it touches on very interesting themes. j-hope surprised me and i will keep an eye on his music.

    This is a no-skip masterpiece with very meaningful lyrics. And this man live? I highly recommend checking his Lollapalooza performance. J-Hope is an artist thru and thru.

    El concepto esta bastante trabajado detalladamente, es interesante, la lírica introspectiva es de lo mas genial, no hay skips, un álbum que vale la pena transmitir de inicio a fin.

    Amazing album, with beautiful storyline, we have incredibly multitalented artist here. For a debut, j-hope set a bar really high but I have no doubt he will deliver even better music in the future, because he is THAT talented, hardworking and passionate and he loves new challenges.

    It is rare to see an artist so passionate in his craft. j-hope steps outside his comfort zone and produce a magnificent album. It is more than typical kpop with a blend of rock, grunge, and old school hip-hop. The lyrics are deep and the music are hypnotic. j-hope proves that he is talented artist who is successfully in venturing to a higher plane.

    The Lollapalooza concert was epic. It is great to see the behind the scenes drama and hard-work that went into producing a brilliant album as well as unforgettable concert. We get to see how strong work ethics and his drive to perfect his music. We get a glimpse of his personal family surroundings and it is a real treat. j-hope proves to be a genius that keeps striving for more.

    This guy needs to be proud of his work. Some artists doesn't care at all about make good albums. It is something interesting that he produced by his own. Yeah, we need to improve a little bit but he really is into hiphop, i would like to see him with a very aggressive and hot hip hop like 2000s.

    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.”
