BTS star J-Hope has announced his new album, 'Hope on the Street Vol. 1'.
The collection will contain six tracks and will be accompanied by a six-part docuseries, which will “trail J-Hope’s dance journey” and see him meet street dancers in Osaka, Paris, New York, Seoul and Gwangju.
A press release from BigHit Music noted that dance is “the core of J-Hope’s artistic roots and identity.”
The first episode will arrive on Prime Video on March 27, with new episodes made available every Thursday and Friday, and the album follows on March 29.
The 30-year-old K-pop star - who is currently completing his mandatory military service - released his debut solo album, 'Jack in the Box', in 2022, which received an expanded 'HOPE' edition last year.
Meanwhile, the South Korean boy band - also comprising RM, 29, Suga, 30, Jin, 31, V, 28, Jimin, also 28, and 26-year-old Jungkook - plan to reunite in 2025.
BTS revealed at their annual FESTA dinner, in 2022, that they would be focusing on solo projects and military service.
Noting a conversation he had with his bandmate Suga during a livestream on Weverse, RM said in 2023: "He told me that there were a great number of ARMY [their fans] across the globe wanting the seven of us to reunite and perform again."
He continued: “But as I’m working on my solo project, I keep thinking this way: ‘This is like a vacation’.
“What I mean by that is that it’s a kind of vacation that we, BTS and ARMY, need to take to successfully come back as a whole. So, I believe all our solo activities are important trips for our next chapter, and they’re also trips which we must go on in order to safely come back home."
RM insists: “We’ll be joining together again. And that will be in 2025.”
