Musicians react to hearing j-hope solo work for the very first time!

[@juneseghni]

J Hope headlined at Lollapalooza. You might like to see it to get the full range of his talents.

[@sherryjyj5910]

also with a live band yeah please check Lollapalooza

[@joanna_bourque3980]

I was there! Best show EVER!!! Hobipalooza mixes in older songs from his 2018 mixtape and newer songs from his full length album Pandora’s Box.

[@hobioopy]

THIS. it was incredible!!! they should definitely check it out sometime.

[@kanux04]

Hobi was impeccable at Lolla and the live band was awesome. Sick performance, I always go back and watch it from time to time and tbh I love the songs even more live. I wish they would release a live albums for as well.

[@MC_Rohr]

You can watch the concert with subtitles on Bangtan TV, and perhaps divide into two 30ish minute halves with obvious break in between… the first half is hard hip hop and with the feel of heavy metal

[@butterbuttersbetter3689]

ARMY supports all the members of BTS, including in their solo endeavours. BTS introduced me to music genres I previously never listened to, and I have found myself a huge fan of the solo work of the three rappers of the group.

[@alird1645]

Las verdaderas !!!

[@7Flowers1Dream]

Same!

[@dianeblucher621]

Then tell us why he is the the least supported of BTS J Hope is the only member of BTS that doesn't have a #1 on itunes, compared to the numbers of streaming and purchases, J hope hasn't matched the others, J hope has fans that decided to support him, as he wasnt getting the same support as the others, were not solos, we love them all, thats why it so sad, fans support all seven equally, no they dont, numbers dont lie, try looking, you'll see the MLs music has charted very high and their solo music is still charting, prove me wrong, with proof of equal support

[@Jjhisnwhshe]

No ARMY do not lol

[@tinaaikaa77]

Everyone of Bts members have their own soloalbums, except Jin who will probably be releasing his by the end of this year. Bts members have allways had solosongs in their albums and all the rappers have multiple mix tapes before releasing their albums. Army supports all their solo careers also, it is a healthy way of them to express themselves outside Bts stuff. 💜

[@Jimins_Minion]

They are still BTS even when going solo. And their fans are still ARMY even for solo projects. We support each and all of them.

[@sigridmeyer9667]

J Hope ....Arson.....❤

[@maryannbaxter73]

For real, for real, J Hope´s concert at Lollapalooza was the best in years. I think you will love it. It broke attendance records and it was named Hobipalooza. He is an extraordinary performer. Kept it so fire for more than an hour.

[@innejart]

We would really appreciate if you turn on the captions when watching their MVs, so you can understand the lyrics💜

[@GileadMom]

J-Hope's Lollapalooza show was spectacular! Watch the whole thing. You won't be disappointed.

[@MTAYLOR0613]

True Army supports all 7 in solo and group endeavors!!!

[@cassiedlp847]

BTS always had solo songs in their albums and they had always released solo projects to express their personal colors and feelings outside of the group. When they started focusing on solo endeavors on 2022, they didn't shock or surprise the ARMYs. They announced what their plans are, their intentions, their reasons for doing so, and a rough timeline for when they will be able to get back together as a group. They didn't leave their fans blind and grappling in the dark. By communicating their plans and their feelings in a straightforward manner, the ARMYs naturally understood that they needed to do this and wholeheartedly support each members' music. Given that there a 7 very different individuals with 7 very colorful personalities, we were treated to a very varied type of music. There may be some that would not suit our personal taste (I personally does not like one member's album, not because it wasn't good, but because it is just not to my personal taste). But since we know the reason they do what they do, ARMYs support them 100%.

[@racheltoner432]

Turn on the captions!!

[@Imme_begin]

It was and is EXCEPTIONALLY good. 😊

[@carolcrooks7018]

Jack in the Box was the theme. JHope's dark side. Which totally surprised mist army! Yes, the box at the end contained all the rooms etc. Fantasy world. Reason for make-up of musicians. I love JHopes duality and stage presence. He is unbelievably talented! I have watched his Lollapalooza performance dozens of times, even though it was an hour long.

[@airyfairy2396]

The members are each other's biggest fans and supporters. And we were delighted to enjoy seven different genres of music from them when they released their solo albums before their enlistment. With the firm conviction that they would reunite as BTS after completing their military service, we wholeheartedly enjoy their solo endeavors as special events. All of them have expressed their excitement many times about the new color and synergy BTS will have when they regroup in 2025, having gained experience from their individual activities : ) They all said their personal undertakings would ultimately enrich their team endeavors, and ARMY cheered on their musical growth. The ego for solo careers that you may have seen lead to the disbandment of many bands will not happen to BTS. As proof of this, they happily share that before enlistment, they had already re-signed all contracts for their activities in 2025 as a whole group. Their bond and commitment to BTS remain unshaken. * Jin, the oldest member, was the first to be discharged from the military yesterday! *Just in case you don't know, they have usually included solo songs and unit tracks on their team albums even before.

[@lavenderbluemama953]

Agree. Well said. I think in the US, we're used to the idea perpetuated by the media, that often when a member of a band or group "goes solo," it's because the band broke up or the solo artist was "the good one" & the rest of the group is probably now jealous. I don't even think that's necessarily true. Maybe sometimes, IDK, but true or not, it makes for dramatic headlines & sells more magazines, newspapers, & tabloids. I don't know about contracts in the US, maybe some labels don't allow promotion of group work & solo work simultaneously? If so, that would certainly contribute to the mythology & perhaps actuality of disharmonious bands, if solo work was done at the expense of the group's work. (If any US musicians can clarify this, please do, I really don't know.) Regardless, BTS supports each other's solo work & so do ARMY. Personally, I think it's amazing to hear all of them individually, even if someone's music is not my usual style. I like hearing new types of songs & who cares if a song doesn't become my favorite? It's someone else's favorite & that's what's great about music! 😎(That said, I usually do love their solo work.) Also, after BTS solo projects, I am all the more appreciative of their talents when they release their next group song. And so are they, I think. You can tell when they come back together after successful solo work, how happy they are to be performing together again. Thanks guys for reacting to BTS & J-Hope. 💜

[@vikyvlahou4672]

I do love J hope's different styles, like in 'Daydream', 'Hope on the street' andArson' .

[@jolippert397]

They all have gone solo before they went into their mandatory military service. They will all be out in 2025. J-hope did Lollapalooza in 2024, he was the headliner. His solo album is Jack in the Box is all good! Recently released J- hope On the Street..danceable tracks. He is a street dancer 1st, singer 2nd. Enjoy the 7 different rabbit holes..8 if you count group songs!!!

[@judithstaley3642]

He did Lollapalooza in 2022 not 2024.

[@sharonlahaye5803]

J-Hope is most known as a dancer and rapper. He learns the choreography quickly, sometimes adjusts it, and then leads the other members through the dances. He’s a perfectionist. Before debut, he was a hip-hop/street dancer and had a dance team called Neuron. He was the third member to be chosen as a BTS member, after RM and Suga who were both underground rappers. They taught him how to rap and he eventually developed his own style. He can also sing. His nickname is Hobi. He has a very upbeat positive personality and the younger three members often look to him for guidance (the “Mom” of the group). He is ARMY’s Sunshine.

[@judithstaley3642]

J Hope is very talented and the next member to be released from the military (October). His latest album HOTS Vol. 1 with its accompanying docu-series on Prime Video was so good. Also his 2022 solo performance at Lollapalooza was great. He is a fantastic dancer and also a producer and writer, in addition to having very good vocals. Also, listen to Arson, also from his Jack in the Box album (reference faces of guitarists in More are "burned" not demons.) He is very diverse. All seven men are very different and very talented. . . that's what makes the group so great.

[@sunshine-kr4tl]

His Lollapalooza performance is top tier!!! He headlined the show with around 100k people watching onsite. You should definitely check it out.

[@janetwilson9208]

jhope was the first to start Chapter 2 , which is all members doing their own solo stuff.

[@AdrianaLima-ib9ec]

Jhope is fire

[@jessicapierce3027]

J-Hope Lollapalooza performance was a highlight. I would recommend listening to "jack in the box" and " Hopeworld" prior to watching, just to get a feel for his songs before hearing them live.

[@aprilforgue]

Army supports all members solo work. They all have different styles. All BTS has solo albums. Jhope was first Korean to headline lollapalooza you could check the whole concert on enjoy BTS more. I suggest Agust D trilogy starting with Deachwita, Heageum and Amygdala. RM Nuts one of my favorite off his last solo album and wildflower off his prior album.

[@eileencritchley4630]

J Hope did an Award Show Stage of his songs 'More', 'Arson' and a song off his other solo Album Jack In the Box he also has Album 'Hope World' and his newest album 'Hope on the Street's where he goes back to his root's as Hip Hop Street Dancer where he was the youngest member of the Street Dance Crew call 'Nureon'. He also was the first South Korean Artist to headline Lollapalooza Chicago and he holds the record for the history of Lollapalooza as the the biggests attendence eg over 100, 000 people watched him live in person while the rest of watched in real time all over the world via the live link. So yeah you can see his solo performance's both at the MAMA 2022 Award Show and as the headline act at Lollapalooza. Chicago.

[@tinaaikaa77]

To see their own styles in solosongs, I suggest Agust d Haegeum, Rm Wildflower, Jimin Set me free, Taehyung Love me again, Jin Astronaut, Jungkook Standing next to you 💜

[@jas-cl5kr]

Good recommendation!💜💜

[@secretyidentity2833]

RM LOST!

[@SusieQ1955]

Don't forget Haegeum is the middle of the trilogy, the whole trilogy is needed to appreciate the story.

[@sushmo7100]

It’s army for each and every single member. There are people who support only one of the members but the boys have always asked army to support all 7 of them.

[@Carlaparraguez7]

J hope in Lollapalooza, is Awesome!! 😎

[@JoSedunary]

All 7 members are so supportive of each other... you'll find some of them doing cameos in each other's MVs... (Tae (V) is in this one... standing by the photocopier in the background... ) Army support every member, either solo or together.... Like many comments have said, all the members enlisted into the military - the eldest, Jin was discharged yesterday... so we're awaiting his solo album as he didn't have time to release it before he enlisted... All have released solo works ...

[@Whyyougottabethisway]

ARMY loves and appreciates each member of BTS, even if we have our biases (the one we relate to most). I'm Tae biased and Yoongi is my "bias wrecker," but I adore j-hope and what he does for all his brothers. We don't like "solo stans" -- people who only support their favorite and crap on the others. BTS is a family and we support them all, the way they would each other. :)

[@Imme_begin]

I make distinction between solo stans and new fans who have become fans of only one because of their solo work. I think you sort of referenced the definition of a solo stan. They all know BTS and are usually hostile to the group and one or more members. They are antis. I don’t have a problem with the latter because we can’t expect new fans to want to know about BTS. That’s not how they discovered the member. Our hope is the member will help bring them into loving BTS and all the members, which I have seen several times with reactor. 😊

[@naju02]

we're very supportive of their solo works, it was an important chapter for them! army will always support them as a group on in solo projects. and doing solo work doesn't mean they're not in bts anymore, because they are! they're just not active as a group since mid 2022 bc of the military enlistment

[@Whyyougottabethisway]

Another song off this album is Arson -- which ties in the theme of fire and burning up. (The band's faces are supposed to look burned)

[@secretyidentity2833]

All 7 members want armys to support all 7. Anyone who calls themselves army supports all 7 members. Anyone who doesn’t support all 7 are not army and NONE of the members of BTS acknowledge their existence. Their fans, since debut in 2013 are ARMY, for all of them, when they have solo songs, unit songs, collabs with other artists, it’s always ARMY. Since they’re are on hiatus from group activities and are releasing their first official solo albums more “solos” are active, but real army is fighting strong and soon solos will all be gone. JK has ARMY tattooed on his hand and all of them introduce themselves as ______ of BTS. 7=1 | 7-1=0 APOBANGPO 2025 BORAHAE ARMY HAPPY FESTA 2024

[@namitales]

To me, them putting out solo stuff is the best thing they could’ve done. Every release is so exciting and since they’re all so different we didn’t know what to expect. Like J-Hope once said, after this period of going solo their group music is just going to be so much better. Solo succes = BTS’ succes 🍀💜

[@kuroro9949]

All the members have their solo careers and ARMY supports all of them as solo artists as well! They can express themselves more personally and explore even different sounds. Working on their solo projects helps them with their group projects. BTS members are each other's biggest supporters and aren't jealous at all. They are a family and are proud of each other's work and success. SUGA even made a show - Suchwita, where he interviews celebrities over drinks and food - so his bandmates could have a safe place to promote their solo projects!

[@RogueFire777]

Thank you so much for reacting to JHope! JHope at lollapalooza is awesome. Subscribed

[@k8rip]

if you decide to check out his lollapalooza performance (HIGHLY recommend) it's been uploaded on youtube in 2 parts with subtitles. This whole album, jack in the box, was such a cool project. The grungy sound was a big contrast from the more upbeat funky stuff he was better known for before. Definitely recommend you check out all the other members' solo projects too. They all bring something different to the table

[@nboni100]

please more of J-Hope talent!

[@donnasweet3198]

J-Hope is my sunshine! He's a great dancer, rapper, and singer, ARMY supports all the members solo endeavors (songs, albums, concerts, performances and appearances), and they all support each other. 💜

[@alipotter0613]

BTS do not stick to one genre so when they release alternative, jazzy, electronica, rock, pop solos, it doesn't come as a shock to ARMY. That is what is so exciting about them. You can never predict what they will do next. It is so refreshing! Although he is currently in the military ( along with the rest of BTS), RM just released a very alternative album, Right Place, Wrong Person. He is an art lover and worked with artists and musicians as a collective rather than a regular group. He made quite a few videos and did a short chat with BTS member Jimin about it. Jimin loves alternative music too so it was a great insight. Worth a watch/listen.💜

[@Launibu]

I love all of bts solo projects. They are all so different. Jhope performed live at lollapalooza. It's a great watch if you ever have time.

[@glendam1974]

We will support them no matter what.

[@tonzyjc]

Thank you for reacting 🫶🏾 Jhope is my bias in BTS but i do enjoy all memebers solo projects. Please check out more work from JHope. I recommend Arson, On the street, Nueron, equal sign and Airplane. Jhope live performance as a solo that really blew my mind is at LOLLAPALOOZA. It was historic and soooo good. Its just over 1 hour but we'll watch 🫶🏾💜 subscribing for more

Thank you for reacting to bts but to really appreciate their music you have to turn on the captions to understand their lyrics. Their lyrics are what really set them apart from most artists.

[@maar6717]

YES MORE🔥 thanks! This whole album ‘Jack In The Box’ is absolutely brilliant! For more live instruments you should definitely watch his performance at lollapalooza, available on KZbin for free. He has also recently released a new OTS album for his dance documentary Hope On The Street which is also must to check out!

[@MichelleRevs]

Jhope loves his old school hip hop. Such a great track.

[@Jjhisnwhshe]

I'm not an army, I'm a fan of j-hope and j-hope only! MORE was such a great an amazing song, I will never forget when this song came out. j-hope has done rock styled music before, he was the main producer and composer for the song Dionysus by BTS which has rock elements. The numetal style is just so him and I'm so glad he continues to experiment with his music like he did. Yes he gets support but his music is different from what new BTS fans like, he does old hip-hop while many of them like pop styled music. He has a lot of hip-hop fans who are fans of him and him only as well. Please react to j-hopes performance at Lollapalooza 2022!!

[@namastan5580]

J-Hooooooope 💜

[@rfatymah]

J-hope is the first K-Soloist to enter in Top 10 of Spotify Artist Chart , also the First K-soloist to debut an album (Jack in the box) with over 60M+ streams. Jhope is the First Korean/Kpop Soloist to have 3 albums surpassing 500 Million streams on Spotif. J-HOPE is the first South Korean Artist in history to headline a major US music festival "Lollapalooza" He also becomes the highest ticket- selling artist in Lollapalooza’s history! He is second most followed Korean/Kpop Soloist on Spotify. 3 of his songs reached #1 in 100 countries Itunes Chart. With his song "on the street" JHOPE becomes the FIRST & ONLY Asian Act to enter in Top 10 of the Billboard &B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales Year End Chart. J-hope was the First Korean/Kpop Soloist to reach 15 million followers on Spotify. His album JITB was the most streamed album by Korean/Kpop Soloist in 2022. He was also the FIRST Kpop Soloist to enter the Top 100 of the Most Followed Artists on Spotify History

[@Imme_begin]

Hopefully you will list the accomplishments of the others when they react to them. 😊

[@rfatymah]

@@Imme_begin yep offcourse !!

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

BTS has always had solo songs and we’ve supported. I’m n general we strongly support but sadly there are “solo fans” that tend to be toxic to fans of the others or all 7. Jhope blew us away with this darker rock version. He’s amazingly creative. The live of this at Lolapalloza blew us away.

[@flovonnejohnson707]

What's funny to me is the solo fans of the biggest or "more popular" members don't seem to care about how their fave actually feels about the group because if they did they wouldn't treat the other members and fans the way they do. For example Jk and V are extremely protective of the other members yet their solo Stans are sometimes soo soo aggressive with their negativity towards the other members

[@sinevins]

jhope set records & made history at Lollapolooza 2022 when he headlined to a crowd around 105,000 people, you can watch that set or parts of it, without worrying about copyright problems as long as if it is the whole set you break the reaction into too parts. But you can also find official videos of the live set that are broken up into a few songs at a time on their official channel, I think it is Bangtan Tv, where you can find it. Though I would suggest reacting to it with subtitles, because Jhope is a fantastic song writer and you are definitely missing sooo much with out them. I think on the channel, More BTS, you can find this set already broken into two parts and it has english subtitles. I think that is the name of the channel here on KZbin. ( or something close to that) And all the members have done solo projects, and my guess is they will all continue to do so here and there, but Army supports all of them 100% They are all individuals, with their own personal artistic tastes, and things they want to create and share as artists, etc.... And we fully support them without bias. If you are Army, supporting and respecting all seven members will always be what is most important, over all. 💜💜💜 That is literally part of what it means to be Army. It is called being OT7! And that means pretty much that it will always be the original 7 members of BTS, first and foremost. Hope this info helps with some of your questions. Thank you guys for the reaction!!💜

[@mycatisapokemon]

For this project (Jack In the Box) Jhope wanted to show a darker/edgier side of himself, and I love it. But, this is not indicative of who he is. He has many layers. He has two videos from his first solo mixtape "Daydream" and "Airplane" that show the sunnier side of our Hobi. Check those out if you wish.

[@reneezemlock7880]

All seven members have released solo songs/albums while still with BTS and since all of them had to serve in their military (Jin JUST CAME HOME YESTERDAY), all seven also released solo albums in what they are calling their Chapter 2. Chapter 3 will start next June 2025 when all 7 are completed with their military service. Jungkook was only 15 when BTS debuted. They were all young and other than RM and SUGA, had not released any kind of music prior to BTS. They 100% took advantage of their forced hiatus to explore their own tastes and grow as individual musicians. Here's a list of the official solo releases since 2020. J-Hope - "Jack in the Box" (there is also a Hope edition that includes live recordings from Lollapalooza); "On the Street feat. J.Cole"; "Hope on the Street vol. 1" (a soundtrack and documentary of his love of dance" Jin - "The Astronaut" (he did this with Coldplay") He was the first to enlist so he only released a single. Hopefully we'll get a full album yet this year. RM - "Indigo"; "Right Place Wrong Person" Jimin - "Face"; "Closer Than This" (single) SUGA/Agust D - "D-Day" Jungkook - "GOLDEN"; "Never Let Go" (single) V - "Layover"; "Fri(end)s" (single)

[@classical7]

ARMYs support ALL the members in all their endeavors, whether it's group projects (BTS), solo projects (individual members), collaborations, unit projects, etc. We're blessed to have BTS overall. We're not just getting one amazing Artist, but rather 7 super talented, hardworking Artists!! When all 7 different vibrant colors/flavors are combined, we get BTS. They each shine in their own different ways and I'm extremely grateful for that. They spoil us in the best way possible. 💜🎶

[@anitaherbert1037]

This is from his Jack In The Box album and his record breaking mainstage solo Lollapalooza concert 100,000+ chicago. This was this rap rock genre and a really spectacular live band and mainly in korean and the US audience did not thin in the final quarter. Check it out. Not only is each individual tastes, but also experiment as soloists.THEY ALL WENT SOLO.

[@LotusBloom0309]

Each of the seven are very different in their solo work, but if you listen to BTS music, all of these elements are there. All seven members participate in writing and producing BTS music, and they don’t stick to one genre. They do just about everything, but somehow, they make it all cohesive.

[@1oldcrow350]

Their solos are all very different. And yes all 7 have their own solos now. Keep going I think you will be quite surprised.

[@rebeccabuxton1324]

The CEO, Bang Si Hyuk, of the entertainment company they signed with, Big Hit, valued artistic freedom and encouraged them that the success of one member brings success to the group. The 3 rappers, RM, Suga (AKA Agust D for his solo works) and J Hope released solo mixtapes over the years from 2016 to 2020. All able-bodied men in South Korea have to serve 18 months to 2 years mandatory military service. With this coming they all decided to release solo work as each departed for service. J Hope released Jack In The Box, which this song is from. Jin only had time to release a single before he went, The Astronaut with Cold Play. Suga, as Agust D released an album called D-Day and did a tour, RM's album is Indigo, Jimin's album is Face, V's album is Layover and Jungkook's is Golden. Jin has just been released from his military service, J Hope will be released in October and the rest of the members in June 2025. They have already re-signed with Big Hit Music (Hybe Labels) for another 7 years and pro.ised us they would come back together. They all supported each other with their solo works, attending music shows and cncerts for each other. ARMY supports all 7 individually and as a group.

[@bt6248]

Any cool live stuff that j-hope's done? Pretty much all the live stuff that j-hope's done. He commands the stage. But please do yourself a favor and watch his Lollapalooza performance. I was there. j-hope knocked it out of the park.

[@louisgomez2090]

His latest album, where this song is from, is called Jack in the Box and is a predominantly hip-hop boom bass rock album. The live instrumentation of it at his lollapalooza performance (on youtube ) is VERY good

[@kara-karina8530]

We support all of their solo works, it adds more layers to their artistry and they often interconnect and reference each other works like easter eggs (that adds to the excitement too😂) 💜💜💜

[@ChristyMatadling]

[@monica7998]

Their solo albums have been so different from one another and from BTS, its really unexpected and all have been so good RM's new album is really amazing.

[@sanres2100]

His Lollapalooza concert is amazing. It’s posted in BangtanTV. The new album of RM (Right Place, Wrong Person) is a gem of alternative rap and it’s on the list of best albums of this year made by the Rolling Stones magazine and his last year album is Indigo that is more melodic rap and also praised by music critics. JungKook has his album Golden, that is pure pop and a super hit, V has the album Layover that is R&B jazzy with great instrumentals, Jimin has the album Face that is alternative pop and Suga has 3 albums, his latest is D-Day and is rap and pop rap.

[@dopaminish2099]

This was what made me ARMY. Well, not the music video, but his lollapalooza concert performance. I saw the video of him jumping on stage and that was the moment between before and after knowing bts 💜

[@seokjinthusiast]

It's very common for BTS members to do solo works within their own albums and separately on their own. It shows that they are allowed the freedom of their own individuality. They're allowed to let their personal creativity and interests flow and express themselves how they want. In my eyes, I don't see why there would be a single person against them making their own music. (I'm aware of solo stans, and those people need to get a grip on reality) They are always going to be BTS, no matter how many solo songs/albums they make. Army's only want the BTS members to be happy and comfortable doing what they want to do. Even in this music video, one of the other BTS members, V, made a cameo appearance. He also made a cameo appearance in j-hope's first mixtape music video. We're all so happy and proud of j-hope for anything he makes, and the same goes for the other members. They allow their true feelings and thoughts to shine. We connect with them because they're honest with us and with themselves when making music. They're not "confined" to BTS. Real Army's will always support any solo endeavors the members do. And it will always be obvious from the members themselves that just because they're doing solo work, doesn't mean that they're doing this in spite of being part of BTS. They're not doing this because they want a break from BTS or their own spotlight or to distance themselves from BTS. They're doing this because these are their own personal thoughts and feelings they want to express and they're allowed to branch out and be individuals. Personally, I think that's one of the many reasons for BTS' longevity. Western groups we're used to are all these cookie-cutter, manufactured things that have no creative freedom and have to stick to one image and can never do something they wanna do. BTS' varying styles, their versatility, and their ability to create so many different things is what makes them so captivating and interesting. They're compelling to watch and to listen to. Their music is meaningful and makes you think. They work HARD, and it shows. It shows through everything they make. It's so wonderful. I remember watching this for the first time and being blown away by the direction j-hope went with this. It's so different from anything he's ever done before, with BTS or on his own. And it only showed me how much he has to offer. How talented and amazing he is that he was feeling these things. He wanted to show us a new side of himself and he really trusts that Army's will always be by his side. This will always ring true for every BTS member. Even through their solo works, we're still called Army. Because they are always a part of BTS. I'm glad you understand and appreciate their creativity and what they can individually bring to BTS. You're so completely right! They have a lot of their own differences and I think that's what makes them so strong. Their different musical interests and preferences are very varied! And it definitely makes them stronger as a group! i LOVE the perspective that you showed. You perfectly understood that this is exactly what j-hope was trying to show. Something that showed who he is as an individual. Wanting to see what else the BTS members have to show is so relatable and I hope that you are able to react to more of BTS along with their solo works. It's so fun to watch you discover what BTS is all about. It's fun to see that your perspective changes on what you expect to what you get! I love watching people gain a new appreciation and new understanding of their music. To finally get to know that they never sound like just one thing and have a lot to show and say. Thanks for this!

All the seven members solo projects are very different. They have the freedom to experiment a lot with their sounds. It's always interesting for army listen to their projects.

Lets watch lollapalooza 2022 j-hope stage!!!

[@desserieocampo6890]

💜💜💜

[@soniia_aka3462]

I suggest watching some of his lollapalooza performances

[@eehia2]

Hi guys! Welcome! If you are lost, then let us know! Jhope is our SUNSHINE! The most positive person with a smile that never ends. JHOOOOOPE! He is a part of our rapline. Enjoy! HOBI is his nickname and he gives us hope! I do suggest subtitles. Lyrics are everything for each member. I know you are lyricists and will appreciate these artists. We as ARMY are so proud of each of their success and we want the world for them. I do also recommend lollapalooza! It is known as Hobipalozza to us. Our ARMY fam also mentioned his triphop. These men create works of art regardless of their genre and they escape to every type. ENJOY! Fighting! BORAHAE!💜 The box is PANDORA box.

[@amanacer3088]

They are all so talented & diverse you will definitely be pleased with all their work as BTS or as solo artists

[@dawnbradley3702]

BTS Suga aka Agust D - Daechwita MV is a must watch. Each member has solo work and all are very different from one another, and their albums are amazing. Jin hasn't done an album yet, but he has a couple of singles out. They took a break to work on solo projects before entering the military. They will reunight in 2025 as a team again.

[@Jewelrydiiva97]

Yes we like it,remember they did not strike out. They are just providing us with more delightful music but on a personal scale and please remember they DID NOT DISBAND. they are still a group. BTS took this task on for themselves they wanted to find their on colors. This way in 2025 when the gather together they can each contribute so much more to the group. BTS FOREVER.

[@ralphy383]

Listen to jhope's albums, Jack in the Box and Hope on the street. They are both so different but both call back to oldschool hiphop.

[@SusieQ1955]

Oh, yes, subtitles! BTS announced a hiatus in June 2022 with an end date of June 2025. They are required to do service in the military by age 30, and the oldest one was fast approaching. The term of service is 18 months. BTS strategized that in three years they would all have time to explore their musical talents as well as serve. ARMY, other than an initial weeping, let them do it, and what an abundance of riches! All of them got to the top, with two to number one in Hot 100. We've had albums, singles, MVs, promotional concerts, documentaries, festival headlining (J-Hope), and a 28-concert solo tour netting Suga (Agust D) close to $4M. What's interesting about J-Hope is he is a dancer who learned to rap, then sing, in BTS. He is nicknamed Sunshine because he's always very cheerful with a great laugh! He's a fashionista, and has been a pillar of strength. Chicken Noodle Soup seemed his style, a happy, silly song. But then there was More. What I heard him saying was "I've been your sunshine all this time, but I want More! I have a dark side too!" I was completely shocked and wondered if he was unhappy. But since this is a period of self- and art-reflection for them, I was ultimately glad to hear it. Arson is another heavy song that I know, but he did do 19 songs at Lollapalooza. Enjoy & rock away! It will be crazy when these seven musical geniuses get back together. I'm not familiar with your reactions, have you done at least one solo from every member? Even each one has a variety.

[@cynthiaperez2232]

Not one of the BTS members (including JHope) is 'going solo' at this time. They have always had solo projects. Hobi has 2 solo albums out now. The latest one includes "More" and is off his album "Jack in the Box". The earlier one is called "Hope World". Although serving in the military, the entire group met up to welcome Jin who returned to his home from active duty this week.

[@worldwidechubbyguy2.018]

Lollapalooza biggest audience 🎉

[@VictoriaLovesMusic]

ALL BTS MEMBERS HAVE ALWAYS DONE SOLO MUSIC ARMY SUPPORTS GROUP AND SOLO MUSIC EQUALLY ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL.

[@El28122]

I would recommend you check out his Lollapalooza performance at some point

[@flovonnejohnson707]

So BTS didn't "go solo" as we are used to the term being used in the west. Since the beginning all the members have done solo projects and endeavors while still doing group activities. From solo mixtapes from the rappers, to solo songs from the singers. One of the members has even done some acting. and now all members have solo albums (which happened due to all the members having to do mandatory military service) all except jin because he was the first to be enlisted and wasn't able to do an album before that time. However, that doesn't mean that the albums wouldn't have happened if they didn't have to serve, they just probably would have cone out more sporadically.... Who knows 🤷🏾‍♀️ But since they've always done solo work no one was surprised. And all ARMY supported all members solo work, the same as BTS themselves supported each other. They go to each others solo MV shootings and each others solo concerts&performances. One of the members (V) was actually in the MV you just watched as a little Cameo

[@reneezemlock7880]

Fun side note... at 7:18 in your video, the guy in the short-sleeved shirt in the far back is V from BTS. He dropped by to visit during the filming and J-hope put him in the MV. :P

[@nneichan9353]

airplane pt 2 is another good song that is a little different. love this solo from J Hope!

[@mich2679]

Army are all OT7 which means we love and support each and everyone of them 💜

Im excited to watch yall react the solo stuff!

[@elizabethbrown5065]

Check out JHope at Lollapalooza

[@volhan.p.9722]

I think you guys got the wrong idea from last fiasco with captions on the UGH!! performance. Official music videos *always* have correct captions. But captions on live performances completely depend on the channels. If the owner of the channel manually put captions, you will have correct translation. But if they didn't, you will see words "English (auto-generated)" and this is KZbin captions that never correct. It's not that hard. If you still can't differentiate good captions from auto-generated, you should put them on regardless and if you see that captions are complete gibberish, just turn them off. ARMYs get really irritated by turned off captions in BTS' MVs, because the message is so important. For example this song is about j-hope's journey as an artist and as a person and how he is always wants more and it's not about money and awards, but about art that makes him breathe. Also, as everyone said already, BTS always did solo work alongside with BTS work and we always support all of them equally.

[@pattimcneill7531]

Check out his Coachella performance. Epic!

[@AngelaSealana]

Hey guys! Great pick. 😁 Yeah, to answer your question ARMY supports all the members of BTS who also promote each other's solo projects. I'm biased towards j-hope among the members. A lot of people were surprised when this was released because j-hope is known as the bright and sunny guy, but to me it was a natural progression and expression of his full personality. Another solo song by a BTS member you might like is "Snooze" by AGUST D featuring Woosung from The Rose.

[@farahdormanesh4690]

Yes they all have solo albums and 💯 supported by members and fans

[@GraceW-jx3ll]

You should definitely check out this whole album Jack in the box. Very unexpected by a lot but it was AMAZING!!

[@alird1645]

""Arson" version Rock ✌

[@denisedellasantina1643]

Caaaaaptions next time please. I second other commenter recs: Maybe a chill JHope like I Wonder or Hope on the Street (and later, Lalapalooza), absolutely Suga’s trilogy, V’s Fri(end)s (tho the mv is fun, a live is less distracting) and Tiny Desk, JK pretty much anything off of Golden, etc.
