    Es un lado de J Hope que nunca espere ver, pero que definitivamente no me decepciono, amo y disfruto escuchar el álbum.

    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 music is very strong and impressive. A different style of music is fun in the flood of similar music

    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

    Jack In The Box is an amazing album, we can see how Jhope brought out a better version of himself showing us a side of him out of the everyday, out of what we have normally seen in him.... I really loved it, Hobi once again showed us that his music can be in different ways... that's why I love his diversity within his music. By the way, Safety Zone saved my life.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really adore the album and the story it revolves around. 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.
    I also love the artistry and the thought behind the album cover, something that is so uniquely J-Hope!    … Expand

    The songs in this album were birthed from the innermost parts of j-hope's heart. Reading the lyrics, you would be able to understand more about him. There are so much layers of him than how he's always perceived by the general masses. Music-wise, he has impeccable taste, and I find it refreshing with how he experiments with music. His lyricism is actually genius. My personal favourite isThe songs in this album were birthed from the innermost parts of j-hope's heart.

    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.

    Listening to the album from beginning to end will give a different and extraordinary impression. What j-hope wants to say through the lyrics here, you'll understand it. This is incredible. Get on my non-skip album playlist.

    Este proyecto demuestra el otro "yo" de J hope. Es como si en la vida real fuera algo así como; frente a todos me tengo que comportar como a todos les agrade pero que hay de mi?. Tal ves ese no sea el mensaje pero lo sentí de esa manera y por eso ame este proyecto. Me pude identificar

    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.”
