BigHit Music has announced J-Hope of BTS will release Jack In The Box (Hope Edition) in physical format as a special gift for BTS Army members.

The set will be available on CD on August 18th, containing the original album tracks along with three new live recordings from the pop star’s performance at 2022 Lollapalooza in Chicago — “Equal Sign,” “Stop” and “Future” — and two instrumental tracks — “More” and “Arson.” Two variations of the CD will be available with an outerbox, photo book, lyric book, two of four randomly inserted photo cards, one of two posters, one of two paper toys and accompanied user guide, and sticker packs.

Jack In The Box dropped on July 15, 2022, before J-Hope’s military enlistment. J-Hope participated in the overall composition and planning of the new physical album, which showcases the K-pop star’s experimental approach. Jack In The Box was released as a Weverse album which fans could download and listen to the songs via the Weverse Albums application aside from streaming platforms.
