SEOUL, March 3 (Yonhap) — J-Hope of K-pop juggernaut BTS will release a new solo single, “On the Street,” and its music video on Friday, the group’s agency announced.
The single is due out at 2 p.m., about seven months after the release of his first official solo album, “Jack in the Box,” in July last year, according to BigHit Music.
The lo-fi hip-hop song with a warm melody and warm lyrics is a collaboration with American rapper and producer J. Cole. The BTS dancer-rapper also participated in the composition and writing of the lyrics.

J-Hope wrote the track to share his sincere feelings towards his fans, with the space “on the street”, where many people walk, breathe and feel various emotions, as the motif.
The word “street” in the title refers to J-Hope’s roots – street dancing – where his dream of becoming an artist began and where traces of his intense life exist, according to the agency.
J. Cole will also appear in the music video for the song which will be released simultaneously.
This release precedes his enlistment in the army.
He recently decided not to delay his conscription after receiving permission to do so earlier, and will become the second BTS member to enlist after the oldest member Jin, according to the agency.
In South Korea, all able-bodied men are required to serve in the military for about two years.
