BTS J-Hope’s New Album Tracklist Spoiled? ARMYs Crack The Impossible-To-Read Preview [Koreaboo]
They figured out the features!
On February 18, KST, BTS member J-Hope surprised fans on his birthday with a teaser of his upcoming project, Hope On The Street.
youtube
BIGHIT MUSIC then released a new teaser of Hope On The Street Vol 1 on February 20, KST, announcing that the project will be a two-part release, including a new album and a docuseries.
youtube
The announcement came with promotional schedules and sneak peeks of what will be included in the special album.
While BIGHIT MUSIC released the visual previews of the album with some strong blurring to keep the tracklist and featured artists a surprise, ARMYs seem to have decoded some of them with their extraordinary hawk vision.
The first featuring artist that they uncovered was Jungkook. Many agreed that the second song on the tracklist recognizably included “Jung Kook of BTS” in the title.
Some people also recognized another familiar silhouette in the fourth track, which seemingly read, “Huh Yunjin of LE SSERAFIM.”
Some other names that ARMYs seemingly found in the blurred tracklist included JINBO the Superfreak for track 5 and Yoon Mirae and Gaeko for track 6. Given that Yoon Mirae’s label, Feel Ghood Music, had posted a picture of her with Gaeko and J-Hope on its official Instagram teasing a collaboration, the latter guess seems to be more or less confirmed.

The album cover was designed by Haesun Lee.
j-hope and J. Cole
The song features J. Cole, the artist behind “Born Sinner”, the song that inspired “Born Singer”. There’s another hommage to him through the Billboard cover featuring him in the music shop in the WINGS Short Film #4 FIRST LOVE (it’s only visible in BEGIN and LIE though).
He’s a big influence for j-hope. Hobi referenced him on several occasions like in “힙합성애자 (Hip Hop Lover)“:
Hope hope world, Before I made my world Cole world
From when he would brighten up my friday night
I get inspired and write it down, my song
Cole World is J. Cole first studio album. And it’s the inspiration behind the title of j-hope’s first mixtape, Hope World.
The two of them met during the 2022 Lollapalooza Festival, where j-hope performed after releasing Jack In The Box.
Based on an Instagram story posted by the director Lumpens, it was noticed the beginning of the MV must be a nod to the MV for J. Cole’s “Simba” (src). The two videos were also shot in the same area with “Simba” basically ending where “On the street” begins:
Details
You can spot a memorial at the beginning while the camera pans from one direction to the other. Based on the episode, it's a nod to a situation in the street where people "say goodbye because of unavoidable situations".
You only see them in the Episode but they are several custom made posters in the subway.
When j-hope exits the subway, you can see a poster (cr.) from a campaign for Adopt Us Kids, promoting adoption from foster care. It’s similar to the poster on this page but with a different citation: “We thought our Family was complete - we’re so happy to have been wrong”.
He also walks next to a billboard advertising Raye’s My 21st Century Blues, an album released the same day as “on the street”. She tweeted about it.
During the scenes on the rooftop, there a billboard in the background with “It’s my call” written on it. On the bottom left, a car similar to the on in “Chicken Noodle Soup” MV, with a chicken’s head on the rooftop can be seen. The sentence isn’t in either songs’ lyrics but there is a “Bring it back to this place called home (baby)” in “Chicken Noodle Soup”. Fans have also interpreted it as j-hope’s decision to do his military enlistment. In the Episode, you can see it’s actually an ad for Two Trees Management, offering offices in Dumbo.
As for the other billboard, that’s on the far left, it’s an ad for Ulla Johnson.
Filming locations
The scenes featuring J. Cole were filmed on the rooftop of a building in New York, here, next to the Manhattan bridge.
The photos and the beginning of the MV were shot in Cortland Alley.
Then they moved to the closed platform of Bowery subway station.
And j-hope left from this exit.
Next, we’re back to the South of Lower Manhattan, in Walker street this time.
