j-hope’s first solo album, Jack in the Box, has made it to Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Albums of 2022 list! It ranked No. 9 on the list. See what Rolling Stone had to say about Jack in the Box below.
The first BTS member to release a solo album, J-Hope set the bar high with Jack in the Box, a 10-track concept album that opens with a retelling of the myth of Pandora’s box. The last item in that mythical, chaotic container was hope, after which the rapper named himself — an apt description, if this growly, endlessly creative debut is any indication. “What I really want to say is that the album is filled with my soul and my sincerity,” he told Rolling Stone earlier this year. “In that way, it’s a unique album, and the album is very meaningful because, in terms of musicality, it’s going to act as a stepping stone for j-hope to go forward.” After a debut like this, j-hope’s fans (new and old) can be pretty sure they won’t be disappointed with his future offerings. — B.E.
