BTS's J-Hope will soon enlist in the Korean army, but he (temporarily) gives fans a lot of hope for his music career.
On February 26, Big Hit announced the imminent enlistment of J-Hope (all able-bodied Korean men between the ages of 18 and 28 must serve approximately two years in the South Korean military), and on the same day, the entertainment company also revealed that he will be leaving ARMYs with a gift in the form of a new single. In a statement from Weverse, he said the new single was titled "On the Street" and that J-Hope wrote it "to share his sincere feelings with his fans."
The title of the song will sound familiar to fans, as it harkens back to J-Hope's roots in street dancing, "from which his dream of becoming an artist was born." The Triple Threat has also released a series of videos under the moniker over the years, in which he showed off his freestyle dance moves, sometimes with guests.
On March 2, it was revealed in the "On the Street" music video teaser that the song was actually a collaboration, and not just any collaboration. It will see J-Hope team up with his day one idol, J. Cole! In the clip, J-Hope walks towards the edge of a New York rooftop, but when he turns to stand against the ledge, he pulls away to reveal J. Cole standing in front of him, and they both watch in the distance.
ARMYs know that J-Hope has admired Cole for a long time. The 2022 song from BTS' anthology album "Proof," "Born Singer," is actually an interpolation of Cole's "Born Sinner" from his album of the same name. In an interview for Disney+ Korea to promote his Disney+ documentary "J-Hope in the Box," J-Hope spoke about Cole's influence on his artistry, saying, "In a way that after he started making music, I guess his music motivated me "I should make my music a certain way." He continued, "When I first started making my music, he was my muse and I still respect him. He's one of the artists I hope to work with. ."
