J-Hope Gears Up for Double Dose of Dance with “Hope on the Street” Docuseries and Album
Global K-Pop superstar J-Hope, a member of the record-breaking group BTS, is ready to take fans on a journey through his artistic roots and fuel his passion for dance with a brand new six-part docuseries titled “Hope on the Street” premiering March 27th, alongside a highly-anticipated new album, “Hope on the Street, Vol. 1,” dropping just two days later on March 29th.
This exciting news comes nearly two years after J-Hope’s critically acclaimed debut solo album, “Jack in the Box,” left fans wanting more.
The trailer for “Hope on the Street” gives viewers a heartwarming glimpse into J-Hope’s introspection as he reflects on his artistic foundation, stating, “I started with dance and that dancing led to many other things. I’m curious about it. What kind of dancing did I do and what are my roots? What is the future that I’m dreaming of?”
As the emotional trailer progresses, the music transitions to BTS’ beloved track “Trivia 起: Just Dance,” perfectly setting the stage for J-Hope’s quest for artistic rediscovery. We see him collaborating with a diverse range of dancers and choreographers across the globe – from the vibrant streets of Osaka to the iconic sites of Paris and New York City, all the way back to his Korean roots in Seoul and Gwangju.
J-Hope’s infectious enthusiasm is evident as he shares, “My heart is racing. It feels so new. I’d like to learn again, not just about dance, but it could be about life. I think it was a new process of learning.”
Here’s where the innovative concept truly comes alive: Each episode of the “Hope on the Street” docuseries is intrinsically linked to a specific set of songs from the upcoming album “Hope on the Street, Vol. 1” through their narrative, sound, and overall message. This unique approach promises a holistic experience for fans, allowing them to delve deeper into the inspiration and emotions behind the music.
The very first episode of “Hope on the Street” will hit the screens on March 27th at 11 a.m. ET on Prime Video, while the highly-anticipated album, featuring the lead track “Neuron (with Gaeko and Yonmirae),” will be released globally at midnight ET on March 29th.
“Hope on the Street, Vol. 1” serves as the official successor to J-Hope’s smash hit debut album, “Jack in the Box.” “Jack in the Box” dominated the Billboard World Albums chart, reaching an impressive No. 4 on Top Rap Albums and an impressive No. 6 on the coveted Billboard 200 chart. The album was further fueled by the success of singles like “Arson” and “More,” which peaked at No. 82 on the Billboard Hot 100.
J-Hope has consistently pushed creative boundaries throughout his solo career. In 2023, he released not one, but two captivating singles. The first, “Huh?!,” was a collaboration with fellow BTS member and accomplished rapper Agust D (better known as SUGA). The second single, “On the Street” (featuring J. Cole), marked a significant milestone for J-Hope, debuting and peaking at No. 60 on the Hot 100, his highest solo entry on the chart to date.
With the “Hope on the Street” docuseries and album set to launch, J-Hope is poised to take fans on a deeply personal and artistic journey, showcasing his unwavering dedication to dance and his constant pursuit of growth.
