Less than two weeks after BTS announced that they would be taking a break to focus on the members’ solo projects, K-pop group J-Hope has revealed plans to release his first official solo album.
Bighit Music announced Saturday on Weverse that “Jack in the Box“, the rapper’s first non-mixtape album and BTS’s first solo LP since the group embarked on “BTS Chapter 2” earlier this month, will arrive on July 15th; the first single will arrive next Friday, July 1st.
“We would like to announce the release of Jack In The Box, J-Hope’s solo album. BTS has turned the page on its new chapter, throughout which the members will harmoniously carry out their collective and individual activities.
J-Hope will be the first member of BTS to start this new journey and release his solo album“
