    This album is amazing. Every track of this album is masterpiece. Equal sign and safety zone is my all time favourite because they relieve stress. I love this album.

    this is such a great album and the most admirable fact is that is doesn't cater to a focused genre, jack in the box goes beyond it. truly enjoyed the entire album and just astonished by j-hope's work!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is such a gem for someone like me who grew up listening to boombap a lot. The instrumentation throughout the whole album was just tremendously good, and as usual Jhope killing it with his amazing vocal. The song 'Stop' really brought me back to my teenage years, and when I heard ODB sample in 'What If', it almost brought me to tears!! I will treasure this album so much, thank you Jhope for such a beautifully crafted album from start to finish!… Expand

He went for something different than what he showed in the past and it was absolutely beautiful to see him shine in this aspect. I can't wait to see more of both of his side's in the future… Expand

    Jack in the Box is an album of top caliber, something I truly expected from Jhope. Listening to it from top to bottom is like listening to an audio book... his story and what he wants to say are such a joy to listen to. Hobi, I am truly proud to be your fan. I will forever be a BTS Army.

    This album is pure excellency.
    The level or artistry it has is incredible, and I encourage everyone to listen to it closely, read the lyrics, look for the history of JHope (and BTS) as artists, and pay attention to story JHope is narrating. The songs individually are also magnificent, the grunge rap in More is excellent, and my favorite is Pandora Box.

    JHOPE The man you are!! Jack in the Box is one of the best old school hip hock album released in this decade. The artistry portrayed in this album is top notch. Pandora’s Box, What If, Arson and More are my most played from this album. Its a must listen.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The most creative album ever. From the album cover, the title tracks, music videos, the song itself, the lyricism and the performances, every single part of this album is so creative.

The songs expressed and confessed feelings and thoughts hidden deep like a jack in the box. Even though the concept is scary and more intimidating, I find it a little bit more laid back in comparison to J-hope's first mixtape "Hope World". Hope World was bright and colorful and fun in first sight, but reading the lyrics and understanding the song would make you realize that it's actually more scary. Jack in the box is scary, dark but colorful, and showcased his craziness but really it's a confession and expression of the real person inside him. The track "equal sign" touched people's hearts and is fans favorite for a reason.… Expand

    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.”
