In the trap-based ­“ 항상” [always],
J-Hope makes a quick reference to the
Chinese fable The Frog in the Well to
state their growth as artists who aren’t
inexperienced ­anymore.
While ARMYs are thanked for their ­support
in the former, “Airplane” is a ­mellow,
reflective track that hints at ­being content
with life while ­reminiscing. From a lyrical
point of view, the track is ­straightforward
and exudes ­confidence ­without being
cocky. BTS features on this track as well,
adding to the ­sentiment of achievements
garnered as a team - ­Eventually helping
to fulfill a young Hoseok’s dream to ride
and fly in an ­airplane as J-Hope.
The music video ­reflects this same
energy, h
­ ighlighting the laid back attitude,
as it visually alternates between innocent,
fantasy-like visuals and reality,
expressed through warm and cool
hues without ­seeming overwhelming.
“P.O.P (Piece of Peace) pt. 1” can be
regarded as the most ­complex track,
tone and ­structure-wise, on this mixtape.
Accompanied by steel drums, clapping
beats and a catchy ­chorus. “P.O.P pt. 1”
is noticeably ­different since the rest of the
mixtape is intently focused around the
artistic and p
­ ersonal growth of J-Hope/
Jung Hoseok.
