Everything You Need To Know About BTS’ J-Hope’s 1st Solo Single

K-pop phenomenon BTS may have announced an indefinite hiatus after the release of their 9th album Proof but the group’s fans, also known as ARMYs, won’t be left without new music. Each member of the seven-piece group made it clear that they’re venturing into solo projects. The most recent one to confirm a release is J-Hope (Jung Ho-Seok).

This release is quite unique since it is technically digital but will have physical add-ons. Purchasers will receive a cardholder (one random out of two designs), photocard A, photocard B (one random out of two designs), and a QR card. The QR card will lead to WeVerse Music, a streaming app where the digital single purchased is stored.
