5. It’s all connected

In a recent interview, J-Hope revealed that he fears the future. Track #9 on Jack in the Box is titled “Future.” Considering the entire album has a scary concept, it makes so much sense.

6. “= (Equal Sign)”

In J-Hope’s verse in BTS’s “Jamais Vu,” he says, “my life and yours are equal sign.” This foreshadows Jack in the Box track #5 “= (Equal Sign).”

J-Hope served as a songwriter on “Jamais Vu.”

7. “Music Box : Reflection”

The visual teaser for Jack in the Box seemed to hint at track #6, “Music Box : Reflection.”

8. “Pandora’s Box” was always there…

Last but not least, the main inspiration behind Jack in the Box is, of course, “Pandora’s Box,” which is also the title of track #2. Both “Pandora’s Box” and a Jack in the Box toy were featured in the cover art for J-Hope’s “Blue Side.”

He truly thought of everything!
