J-HOPE IN THE BOX REVIEW

 The enormous global fan following that the members of the BTS band have is perplexing. The K-band members have amassed fortune throughout the years that would make any singer in the world envious (the J-Hope house featured in the documentary is proof of this). The Korean band BTS singer J-Hope is the focus of the documentary "J-Hope in the Box," which explores the production procedures and behind-the-scenes activities related to the release of his debut solo album. This documentary, in its own special way, gives fans a chance to get a glimpse into J-Hope's creative process, as he joked in an interview that while people know BTS very well, they don't really grasp how he composes music for the group. This film details the steps that J-Hope took to produce his debut solo album, "Jack in the Box."

He visited the United States in 2022 from Korea, performing in Chicago and New York at the Lollapalooza Music Festival. This film chronicles his journey. J-Hope has improved steadily ever since Coldplay's "My Universe" earned him a Grammy nomination for songwriting. With this documentary, the singer is making an effort to highlight his individual talent and persuade viewers that he has finally broken from BTS's shadow.

However, the opening parts in the documentary, when he takes a quick break with his family, are the most fascinating ones. He only shows love to his mother and father in all of his encounters with them. As he takes a trip down memory lane, fans also get a glimpse when he stops by his school and the local market in Gwangju, his hometown in Korea. Another segment of the film demonstrates his realistic perspective. He almost meets everyone he was related to during the performance of one of his songs from "Jack in the Box" at a hotel, in addition to delivering gifts.

If the filmmaker had opted to do a music documentary as well as a documentary about J-Hope's non-musical endeavours rather than just a music documentary, the joy would have more than quadrupled. However, the documentary is successful in showing audiences several aspects of J-Hope. 'Safety Zone,' 'Aeroplane,' 'Equal Sign,' and 'Hope World' are just a few of the songs from his album that are played in the documentary. He truly conveys the image of a common person from modest beginnings who achieved success through toil while remaining firmly entrenched in his family values.
