J-Hope celebrated his 30th birthday on February 18, and he came up with a special way to mark the occasion. The BTS rapper revealed he’s been working on his new album Hope on the Street Vol.1, and announced this record will be released on March 29 via Big Hit Music.

Big Hit’s official announcement described this project as a special album featuring a total of six tracks, and this isn’t the only surprise that J-Hope has in store. The release of his new album will be accompanied by a docu-series called Hope on the Street, which will chronicle his “dance journey” when it debuts on Prime Video on March 28.

Like the rest of BTS, J-Hope has been focusing on his solo career during the band’s hiatus, which is expected to end in 2025. His debut album Jack in the Box came out in 2022, and he joined forces with the rapper J. Cole for the standalone single “On the Street” just last year.

In a press release, BTS’ label BigHit stated that “Closer Than This” is dedicated to the group’s fans and “encapsulates Jimin’s genuine feelings for ARMY.” The song became a huge hit upon its release and topped the iTunes charts in more than 100 countries around the globe.

“As we approach the final days of 2023, we hope that “Closer Than This,” with its lyrics conveying Jimin’s love and affection for his fans, will bring you hope and warmth,” BigHit added.

Jimin shared his debut studio album, Face, back in March. He was listed as a co-writer on all of the record’s tracks alongside frequent BTS collaborators Pdogg and Ghstloop, who also produced the project.

Face had a record debut in South Korea, selling 1 million copies in the first 24 hours. The album also reached No.2 on the US Billboard 200 and became the highest-charting album of a solo South Korean artist in the history of Billboard charts.

Jimin enlisted to serve his mandatory military service in early December alongside his BTS band members. He is expected to finish his service in the summer of 2025.

A recent TikTok video shared by Jung Kook shows him and Usher standing in an abandoned warehouse before breaking out some nifty moves while “Yeah!” is blasting in the background. The clip, which was viewed more than 17 million times, was captioned with “#StayTuned,” hinting that we could see the two collaborating again in the future. 

Jung Kook released his debut solo studio album, Golden, in November. The album was met with overwhelmingly positive reactions from the critics and reached No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 and No. 3 on UK Charts. However, the 26-year-old K-Pop star won’t be able to support the record with live performances as he is set to start mandatory military service in South Korea members later in December alongside fellow BTS members.

Usher, on the other hand, just wrapped up his Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM. He is now gearing up for a Super Bowl LVIII halftime show performance as well as the release of his newest album, Coming Home, in February 2024.

BTS: Yet to Come will be available in over 240 countries and territories after it premieres on Prime Video on November 9. David Simonsen, director of Prime Video Southeast Asia, said they’re thrilled to join forces with HYBE and see this concert movie and this genre find new audiences.

BTS: Yet to Come was filmed at the Asiad Main Stadium in Busan, South Korea back in October last year. It was included in the city’s World Expo 2030 bid, and it marked their last concert together before they went on hiatus to fulfill their mandatory military service in South Korea.

BTS’s performance at Busan’s World Expo 2030 featured 19 of their biggest hits, including “Dynamite,” “Butter,” and “Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment).” Trafalgar previously released a version titled BTS: Yet to Come in Cinemas this February, which grossed $29 million globally.

Members of BTS are expected to reunite in 2025, and they’ve all signed new contracts with Big Hit Music back in September, in addition to releasing several solo albums since the band went on hiatus.

RM recently took to social media to read a heartfelt statement from BTS to their fans and asked them to keep the band alive in their hearts while waiting for their reunion.

“Even though we’re doing our solo activities on our own… what I’m thinking these days when I’m doing my solo projects is… this is just like a vacation. I hope our songs and solo projects could be another reminder to you guys of how important ARMY was,” he said in a statement.

RT also said they’ll get back in 2025, and described their solo projects as an important part of the band’s Chapter 2 and “a journey to get back home safe.”

BTS announced their hiatus in June last year and explained they were pausing group activities so all members could complete their mandatory South Korean military service. This has been a fruitful time for the band’s individual members, and we’ve seen them release several solo albums and chart-topping singles since going on hiatus.

V said he’s both happy and nervous about releasing his first album as a solo artist, which will allow him to show a whole new side of himself.

“This is an album that has my personal preferences. There will be a lot of things to show. I prepared it while thinking that ARMY would be happy, so I hope you all look forward to it. You will be able to see solo artist V, which will show a new side and will be different from BTS’s V,” he said in a statement.

Big Hit Music announced that V joined forces with Min Hee-jin, the CEO of NewJean’s label ADOR, to bring his first solo album to life. Layover will hit the shelves on September 8, and it will include songs “Rainy Days”, “Blue”, “Love Me Again”, “Slow Dancing”, and “For Us”.

V isn’t the only member of BTS with a solo album on the way this year. His bandmate Jungkook is also planning to drop a mini-album by November following the chart-topping success of his debut solo single “Seven” ft. Latto.

All seven members of BTS came together to record this song, which is supposed to symbolize “the group entering its second chapter.” This song also allowed them to convey their appreciation toward fans aka the Army for all the love they’ve been showering them with over the course of the past decade.

BTS has been going strong since 2013, and they went from being a true sensation in their home country of South Korea to becoming a global phenomenon over the course of the past ten years. They sold over 30 million albums, received five Grammy nods, and helped put K-pop on the map all around the world.

BTS announced their hiatus last year, and they’re most likely to reunite in 2025 after all the members complete their mandatory South Korean military service. They’ve been focusing on solo projects in the meantime, with several members releasing solo albums since they disbanded, including Suga’s D-Day, J-Hope’s Jack in the Box, Jimin’s Face, and RM’s Indigo.

BTS’s Jimin scored the highest-charting album by a K-pop solo artist in Billboard chart history with his debut solo album Face, but he still had to settle for the no. 2 spot instead of topping the chart.
