    Álbum perfeito do início ao fim! O cuidado do j-hope em cada detalhe do álbum, a identidade expressa, o fato de ele estar creditado em todas as composições... Jack In The Box é uma dádiva divina e eu sou muito grato de viver para apreciar um trabalho tão bem feito e que faz jus à aclamação universal. Te amo, Jung Hoseok, eu te amo!

    J-Hope shows everyone how talented he is as part of a group and on his own. The concept of the album, the sound of it, the lyrics all incredibly interesting. I´m so happy he decided to show this other part of himself. Congratulations to him for nailing his first solo album.

    Jack in the box is honestly, like tasting a main course from a five-star restaurant chef. It shows the skills and also the maturation of j-hope through the years. It highlighted once and for all the name of j-hope as one of the biggest names in current k-hip hop. It's perfect from start to finish.

    Jack in the BOX is a CONCEPT ALBUM with a very clear journey. I feel like it could have stopped with Future.

Each song plays on different musical elements and has so many flow switches that all sound soo j-hope-esque. Only an artiste like him could pull off an album with so many blended elements and make it enjoyable to listen to. This is an album to listen to from the front to back because every song is just soo good. Definitely my favourite release of the year so far.

    Nothing but bangers. No skips. This album is full of emotion, grit and introspection with a masterful and varied delivery. J-hope continually shows through his solo work that he has a gift for conceptualizing his artistic vision both lyrically and sonically. it's difficult to just listen to individual songs. Once I hear one, I end up just listening to the whole album. This is special.

    If I could describe this album in one word, it would be masterpiece. With dramatic beats and torn vocals j-hope is established as one of the most brilliant artists of today, Jack in the Box exposes the artist's feelings of anguish, fear, greed and hope, imposing himself as an influential person and artist. Brilliant, multifaceted and grandiose, Jack in the Box is a masterpiece

    This album is amazing! It not only shows j-hope's growth and versatility but his courage to explore and expand his artistry. If you will listen to the album top to bottom, you will see the cohesiveness of the theme and concept of his storytelling skills. He is not afraid to touch on topic which may be sensitive to some. The beat, the melody, the lyrics, the music - this album is an art.This album is amazing! It not only shows j-hope's growth and versatility but his courage to explore and expand his artistry.

    No joke... This is really a great great album, a true tribute to hip hop...

    The album is an art in itself. Starting from the intro till the last track Arson, it lays down a beautiful story using mythological elements like pandora's box. The lyrics of each song in the album tells a distinct felling the artist faced in the process of his artistry. It's really applauding how old hip hop beats were used to potray such a beautiful message. You will not regret listeningThe album is an art in itself.

    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.”
