J-HOPE: ARTISTRY, GROWTH, RESPONSIBILITY they will always be one team. 2 Hope World also conveys how sometimes J-Hope wishes he could remain as Hoseok. He also critiques the celebrity lifestyle, a thought and subject matter that takes ­personal strength and confidence to even begin to come to terms with, much less create with. It makes ARMYs’ heart swell with pride, knowing that someone who used to have little to no knowledge on creating music now produced a mixtape that was met with a positive reception from the public. Through his music, we see Jung Hoseok grow and transform into J-Hope, both an individual artist and a member of BTS who’s got a “­hopeful vibe / A ­positive rather than a negative type”. Through his music, J-Hope invites us to “Say ­hello to my Hope World / This is my world, my own story” 3 . J-Hope will continue to develop his craft and make the whole world see the brightness in every detail, in the exact same way the sun shines bright every day.
