Apart from the songs from his own album 'Jack In The Box', popular international hits were also played at the party.

Everyone at the party shook a leg after the band's hit track 'Butter' played at the party. The pre-launch celebration took place at the Hybe building which is located in South Korea's Seoul.

BigHit Music, which manages BTS, announced J-Hope's upcoming album on Weverse, just days after the music sensation band held a live 'Festa Dinner' where they talked about taking a break as a group and focusing on solo projects in their new phase after clocking almost 10 years together as a band. Apart from the much anticipated album, 'Jack In The Box', the rapper also released another single, 'Arson' along with the song's music video.


BTS, which consists of Jin, Suga, RM, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, shook the world after the K-pop band announced that they were taking a break from group projects to focus on their solo work.

J-Hope is the first member from BTS to release his solo project after the seven-member band announced going on a break.

On the other hand, the 28-year-old rapper will also perform on the closing day of the music festival on July 31, along with biggies such as Green Day, The Kid Laroi and more.
