Fans of the beloved K-pop group BTS can now catch J-Hope’s new documentary j-hope IN THE BOX that’s now streaming on Disney+! The show shares behind-the-scenes footage of 200 days leading up to the artist’s first solo debut album Jack In The Box and his appearance at the Lollapalooza festival.
J-Hope’s Personal Story

Despite it being a solo journey, J-Hope always brings up how BTS has made an impact on his life. “I have to do something new to appreciate what I have now… Everyone knows BTS, but no one knows how J-Hope from BTS makes his music.” Throughout the documentary, fans will also be treated to cameos from his fellow BTS members and artists like ZICO and BIBI who showed up to support him.
