j-hope IN THE BOX

It was truly a fascinating experience to go on a journey along with j-hope and be part of the creating of his music and the preparation for his historical lollapalooza performance!

'Jack in the Box' was chosen as a Top10 album of 2022 by the Rolling Stone and this documentary shows why!

The world has the chance to see how j-hope makes his art and I hope everyone who loves music watches this documentary. A true music lover and a dedicated artist who takes care of every singe artist decision when it comes to creating music.

Good music, an stellar performance and a kind, hardworking and overall very inspiring human being!

This documentary is an honest, entertaining look into j-hope's preparations both for his first solo album, Jack in the Box, and his record-breaking performance at Lollapalooza. For this debut, he stepped away from the safety of concerts performed with his BTS team in front of members of the band's fanclub, instead choosing to headline the biggest alternative rock festival in the USA, a setting which - like j-hope's gritty hip-hop album itself - is a very long way from the glitzy, tightly controlled performances of kpop. The film hops backwards and forwards in time, showing just how meticulously he prepared for this project and how the creative aspects of the album and performance were absolutely his own.

We see j-hope working long hours alone in his studio - struggling with writer's block, dancing and ad-libbing along to his addictive hip-hop tracks and occasionally contemplating the fact that he could have chosen an easier life, were he not so driven by his need to create and perform. We see him taking a well-earned break with his family before launching back into the gargantuan task of organising his own promotions. He has a large and capable team around him, but he checks and adjusts every detail himself, from tasting the food and drink to be served at his launch party to making fine adjustments to the choreography, the band arrangements and the backing videos for his first stage performance. Along the way he talks frankly about his creative choices, the pressure he is under and his hopes and doubts.

The high quality footage of parts of the Lollapalooza performance is fantastic and you don't need to be a fan to feel the power and charisma of j-hope when he leaps onto the stage. Behind the scenes, he shows himself to to be driven, detail-oriented and remarkably clear about his own trajectory as an artist. There's no 'superstar' attitude, though - his gratitude to the whole team shines through, from the backing artists to the cleaners tidying up after his launch party. His exceptional talent as a rapper, dancer and singer is on full view, but j-hope's work ethic, honesty and humility may impress you the most.

Incredible docuseries for fans and those curious to learn more about j-hope.

His talent, professionalism and hardwork behind the scenes shine throughout this documentary.

Catching a glimpse of him in his hometown with his parents and in their home, strolling along his old school was fresh and heartwarming.

I highly recommend this documentary to fans and non fans alike who want to get a closer look at j-hope, get to know him and his music well, as well as understand the hype behind him.

I enjoyed watching this documentary. It makes me proud of j-hope and his journey!! He deserves all the success.

You may be familiar with J-hope as he is in the biggest group in the world, BTS. Although, the group makes a cameo in this documentary, it's about J-hopes solo career. He is the first member to debut as a solo artist. You may have thought you would see J-hope as a bubbly, colorful and fun artist. However, he shows he is so much more than that. He suprised the world with Jack in the box, which brings Rock, old school hip hop, RnB and grunge. Breaking out of his stereotypes and showing the world that he is a multifaceted artist who screams of passion and art.

This documentary walks you through J-hopes artistic journey and process of the making of his album and headlining performance at Lollapalooza. A fascinating documentary that shows J-hope love and passion for his work. A unique glimpse into his daily life as ' Jung Hoseok, the loving son and younger brother. ' As well as a glimpse into his daily life at Hybe, where J-hope shows how hard he works everyday. I highly recommend this documentary! It was very interesting and fun to watch! And I must say, I am shocked at how amazing this album is and the details that J-hope incorporated into every little thing.

JHOPE is such an incredible performer. To see the inside look of what he went through in preparing for this historical event in his life was amazing! This took courage and he faced it head on. He showed us determination and hard work pays off. He has come a long way along with his 6 other teammates. I can't wait to see other sides of Hobi. Hobi always gives 100% in what he does, singing, dancing, performing. He shows us that he is human and always remains humble in all his interactions. Him and his teammates are what make me stay and support everything they do. The are our forever artists. Love it!!
