j-hope was the first member to release his solo album in BTS and it really gave a brilliant start to chapter 2 of BTS. j-hope's reputation then also flourished as he repeatedly appeared on major stages and was a special guest of Paris fashion week.
Not only that, with the incubation process for the first solo album, j-hope also made a documentary documenting the journey of creating Jack In The Box and preparing for the debut stage. But it's worth noting that watching some of the interviews that revealed some of the details in the documentary is that j-hope felt apologetic towards ARMYs for the release of the song Arson.
Even though it was a ḧïẗ song, what made j-hope apologize to ARMYs? Check out the story behind it below:
j-hope will be featured in an upcoming documentary, j-hope In The Box, which will document the creative process behind his solo debut and his preparations for 2022 Lollapalooza.
The documentary will be the first of two announced documentaries about BTS that resulted from a partnership between Disney+ and BIGHIT MUSIC. CEO of HYBE Labels, Park Ji Won ever told soṃệẗḧing about it like: "This will be the start of a long-term collaboration, where we present worldwide aud̾i̾e ̾nces a wide range of Hybe content for fans who love our music and artists."
So, ARMYs are already excited about the behind-the-scenes content, and j-hope has ensured the excitement continues to grow by releasing interviews with Disney+ ahead of the documentary’s official release.j-hope’s most recent Disney+ interview was released only hours ago, and in it, he opens up about his solo album’s title tracks and reveals he feels a bit apologetic to ARMYs about the lyrics in “Arson.”
j-hope explains that he chose his second title track, “Arson,” because fire “best represents [his] päṩṩions and alarms the ∂αиgєяous.”
The word “fire” doesn’t only describe j-hope’s päṩṩion. Since their debut, many have watched and admired BTS’s every step in their career. j-hope expressed his desire at times to let go “without thinking” and to rest for his happiness but has found it impossible to do for many reasons.
He also expresses these desires in the lyrics for “Arson,” in which he describes continuing to light the fire of his päṩṩion but contemplating if he should continue to let the flame burn or allow it to go out. There are some lines that: "Now I ask myself, choose what. Do I put out the fire, or burn even brighter".
Because he expressed these feelings in such a public way, j-hope shared that he felt apologetic to ARMYs in some ways for listening to the lyrics that detailed his internal struggle at the time. j-hope seems to be afraid that because of the harsh lyrics, it will make ARMYs feel worried for him or themselves will be negatively affected because of the lyrics.
He said that: "I guess that song was my sort of remedy at that time. To my fans or the people who listened my music or even when I shoot the video. I feel very sory for you guys. And I always told about it at the time". But in reality, ARMYs cherish all that he composes because it used to be his true feelings.
The song relieved some of the stress j-hope was feeling, and he äṩṩured fans that it was a song that served its purpose and delivered the message of how he was feeling when it was written. ARMYs are grateful to j-hope for sharing his thoughts because we are not always happy or happy and neither is j-hope. But the way he creates the song and the message in it makes more people motivated and find empathy.
