BTS member J-Hope recently celebrated his 30th birthday on Sunday. J-Hope is currently serving his mandatory military stint in the South Korean Army and is unable to produce new material for fans. However, J-Hope fans can soon watch a six-part documentary series on dance that features J-Hope. Produced by BTS’ label HYBE, the docu-series called Hope on the Street will be released on Amazon Prime Video on March 28, with new episodes releasing every Thursday and Friday. The documentary series aims to cover the thriving dance scene across the world and also highlights J-Hope’s love for dancing. Before debuting with BTS, J-Hope was part of Neuron, an underground dance group. He also took dance classes at Gwangju Music Academy for six years.
As per Hollywood Reporter, J-Hope will be joined by famous dancer Boogaloo Kin as they explore the streets of Osaka, Seoul, New York, Paris, and J-Hope’s hometown Gwangju to meet up-and-coming street dancers. The documentary series will also feature songs from J-Hope’s upcoming album Hope on the Street Vol.1. The six-track album is set for release on March 29. It follows the release of J-Hope’s 2022 solo album, Jack in the Box, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Interestingly, last March, just before his mandatory military enlistment J-Hope released ‘On the Street’, a single with American rapper J. Cole. J-Hope previously mentioned his new album and the documentary series on Suchwita, a talk show hosted by his bandmate Suga.
While speaking about the project, J-Hope said, “There’ll be new content about my life called Hope on the Street. It’ll be about my dancing and my story,” he explained in between bites of food and drink. “The dancing scene is actually much bigger than you think. It just hasn’t risen up to the surface. But if you really dig into it, there are so many talented people and it’s a huge market. So, as I experienced that personally, although I didn’t go to a lot of cities, I traveled around the world and filmed with a lot of amazing dancers. That documentary will be out in 2024. It’s literally like it’s name, Hope on the Street. It’s just J-Hope dancing on the street.”
He also added, “There’s even gonna be an OST album for Hope on the Street. It’s just a special album consisting of six songs.”
