During 10 years of making art and working with BTS, J-Hope has proven himself to be more talented and unique than just a “dancer” of the group. Having gone solo since 2018 with the mixtape Hope’s World, the artist has achieved his own achievements in the demanding American market, then resiliently reached the 30-year-old mark with the album Jack in the Box.
Through the documentary “J-Hope in the box”, viewers can clearly see a J-Hope who dares to step out of the safe “circle” of BTS with the title of the most classy Korean group in the world today. , not afraid of difficulties to assert his own name and ego on stage.
J-Hope did not step out of BTS’s “safe zone” just to hang out, but wanted to prove his own bravery. In fact, the male rapper and main “dancer” of the group still blatantly set records, creating a precedent that made ARMY admire.
Participating in the closing night of America’s most spectacular music festival Lallapalooza, J-Hope brought home many epic achievements. The male idol became the first Korean artist in history to serve as the headliner of this series of events, attracting the highest number of ticket purchases in the past 31 years. His more than 1 hour performance garnered nearly 15 million online views via Weverse, as well as recording 105,000 live viewers – a number not inferior to any of BTS’s own concerts.
The huge support from the audience helped J-Hope flourish on stage. He emotionally shared: “This is truly a meaningful moment for me. Today, looking at all of you, ARMY and the audience, I think I have gained a firm belief.”
In “J-Hope in the box”, viewers can realize that achieving the above records has never been “easy” for J-Hope. In the recently released trailer, he made everyone feel sad when he was the main dancer of BTS and now sometimes “forgets the choreography”. The age of 30 does not forgive anyone, but it is also the gateway that makes many “adventurers” excited. J-Hope is the same, he is ready to encounter this risky age threshold to break through and spread his wings from the comfort zone that BTS has established for so long.
The documentary will take the audience on a “tour” of the album production process, the days when J-Hope “snapped” from the studio to the dance studio. The most naked, intimate J-Hope will be exposed in the project, and finally the way he brought his debut album to the majestic, everyone-desired stage of Lallapalooza.
“J-Hope in the box” is part of the film series “BTS: Solo Journey” alongside another documentary project by brother Suga, part of the campaign to celebrate BTS’s 10th debut anniversary. This is also the next gift J-Hope sent to his beloved ARMY after enlisting in the army last April. Even though he has time away from home and the stage, J-Hope still regularly updates the situation, interacts with everyone as soon as possible, and does not miss the precious 10th anniversary. Therefore, the audience’s support for the movie “J-Hope in the box” will be a warm, meaningful “response” that helps ease the longing of the male idol while in the army!.
