Jung Ho-seok (Korean: 정호석; born February 18, 1994), better known by his stage name J-Hope (stylized as j-hope), is a South Korean rapper, dancer, songwriter, and record producer. In 2013, J-Hope made his debut as a member of the South Korean boy band BTS, managed under Big Hit Entertainment. As one of the songwriters for the group, he has over 50 songs accredited to his name by the Korea Music Copyright Association. A beautiful man who deserves the world and is loved by millions and feeds us well. He isn't called the actual sunshine of the world for nothing, because without his fine af face photosynthesis wouldn't occur <3

J-Hope released his first solo mixtape, Hope World, worldwide on March 1, 2018. The album was met with a positive reception, and his debut at number 63 (and subsequent peak at number 38) made him the highest charting solo K-pop artist on the Billboard 200.

Life and career

1994–2012: Early life

Jung Ho-seok was born on February 18, 1994, in Gwangju, South Korea, where he lived with his parents and older sister.[1] Before debuting with BTS, he was part of the underground dance team Neuron.[2] J-Hope had been relatively well-known for his skills in dance prior to his debut; he won various local prizes for dance, including placing first in a national dance competition in 2008.[2][3] His skills in dance eventually led him to gain interest in singing and rapping, helping motivate him to audition as an idol trainee.[1] As a trainee, J-Hope was featured as a rapper in Jo Kwon's song "Animal", which was released in 2012.[4]

2013–present: BTS

Main article: BTS (band)

On June 13, 2013, J-Hope made his debut as a member of BTS on Mnet's M! Countdown with the track "No More Dream" from their debut single album 2 Cool 4 Skool.[5] He was the third member to join the group as a trainee after RM and Suga.[6] J-Hope has since been involved in the creation process of every album in BTS' discography.[7]

His stage name, "J-Hope (제이홉)", comes from his desire to represent hope for fans, as well as to be "the hope of BTS."[8][9]

2018–present: Solo activities

On March 1, 2018, J-Hope released his first solo mixtape, Hope World, worldwide, along with a music video for the title track "Daydream".[10] A music video for the B-side "Airplane" was later released on March 6.[11]

The EP debuted at number 63 and peaked at number 38 on the Billboard 200, making him the highest charting K-pop solo act on the chart. Hope World also peaked at number 35 on the Canadian Albums chart, and number 19 on the US Top Rap Albums chart. Three mixtape tracks, "Daydream", "Hope World", and "Hangsang", charted on the World Digital Songs Chart, ranking third, 16th, and 24th respectively.[12] The following week, the tracks grew to first, sixth, and 11th, with three additional tracks off of Hope World, "Airplane", "Base Line", and "P.O.P (Piece of Peace) pt. 1" arriving on the chart at number five, eight, and twelve, respectively. "Daydream" peaking atop the chart made J-Hope one of only ten K-Pop groups, including his band BTS, to reach number one.[13] The success of his solo debut lead him to rank third on the Emerging Artists Chart, and 97th on the Artist 100 Chart for the week of March 10 and 91st for the week of March 17. He is the fifth Korean artist, and the second Korean soloist after Psy, to place on the Artist 100.[12][14]

The mixtape charted in ten countries worldwide, with "Daydream" charting in three.[15][16]

Artistry

J-Hope has been described as having an upbeat and energetic tone to his music and performances.[17] His mixtape, Hope World, received compliments for its fun nature and variety of musical genres, including synth-pop, trap, house, alternative hip hop, funk-soul, and retro elements.[18] Jeff Benjamin of Fuse wrote that the atmospheric style of "Blue Side", Hope World's outro track, "leaves the listener curious for what's coming next from J-Hope."[19] The lyrical elements of the mixtape, notably the lead song "Daydream", was praised for its discussion of the difficulties an idol faces in their career, various literary references, and fun presentation of the serious subject matter.[20]

J-Hope cites the adventurous nature of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and the works Kyle, Aminé, and Joey Badass as influencers on his style and work on Hope World. The idea of peace has also provided a basis for much of his lyrics, stating that "it’d be fantastic to become a part of someone’s personal peace through my music" in an interview with Time magazine.[21] The idea of "representing the modern generation" has also influenced his work on BTS' music.[6]
