Over on social media, fans of BTS began freaking out after J-Hope posted a sly message on the group’s fan cafe. On January 8, the idol posted the message, “It’s soon, real soon” with a ton of exclamation points and a music note. The sudden post got fans buzzing about the rapper’s mixtape, and fans are now preparing themselves for when the release will go live.
Last year, J-Hope did speak openly about his desire to release his mixtape when he felt it was ready. The idol even wished he would be able to release it successfully during a group trip to Hawaii. RM went on to hype fans further during a recent livestream as he told fans he was very impressed and surprised by J-Hope’s work.
“Although his tracks aren’t totally finished yet, he let me listen to a few of them,” RM said. “To be honest, I thought that its quality is much better than my mixtape. J-Hope says that he devoted his entirety of last year to these tracks. I want to listen to more of it really soon.”
Right now, there is no word on when J-Hope will see his mixtape go live, but fans have a hunch. The actor will celebrate his birthday on February 18, and many think he will give fans a gift of his own on that day. So far, the only solo rap track J-Hope has released as of yet is “1 Verse”, and the single got lots praise online. So, you can expect the entire BTS fanbase to promptly lose it when J-Hope goes live with his full mixtape.
Honestly, Twitter may never be the same again…
