Here’s How BTS’s RM, Suga and Jungkook Responded To J-Hope’s “Jack In The Box”

BTS‘s J-Hope was the first member to release a full-length solo album. Although most members had released mixtapes and singles in the past, Jack In The Box marks the first solo full-length album to be borne from one of the seven.

As all the BTS boys are highly supportive of each other, here’s their reaction to “More”, the first release from Jack In The Box.

RM loves being part of the process and action, while Suga prefers respecting the process and only listening post-release. RM was shocked to hear J-Hope’s new sound.

The first person I shared the album with … it’s always the same for me. I always share with RM first. I could have also shared it with Suga, but he likes to be very respectful of the process. He told me, “I’ll listen to it when it comes out.” He always says that to me. There’s a bit of shock and motivation that comes after hearing that. “When it gets released, I’ll look it up and listen to it then.” So I let RM hear it first … and after that was Jung Kook. For the other members, I showed them the title songs, but not the full album.

When RM heard the album, he said, “Wow, I didn’t think you’d do music like this. I have a bit of a brain freeze.” [Smiles.] “And it’s so you. The fact that you brought this music at this time.… I really respect it, and I love that it’s so you.” He gave me that feedback.

On the other hand, Jungkook was inspired by J-Hope’s solo music.

Does this mean that we can expect to hear more solo releases from the group? In the meantime, make sure to tune in to J-Hope’s “ARSON” below.
