Biography
Jung Ho-seok, professionally J-Hope, is a South Korean rapper, singer, songwriter, dancer, and record producer born February 18, 1994. He made his debut as a member of the boy band BTS in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment, anchoring one of the decade's most globally dominant acts. His solo career launched in 2018 with the mixtape Hope World, which critics embraced and which peaked at number 38 on the US Billboard 200 — the highest-charting album by a Korean solo artist at that time. In 2019, he became the first BTS member to enter the Billboard Hot 100 as a soloist when "Chicken Noodle Soup" (featuring singer Becky G) debuted at number 81. His debut studio album Jack in the Box followed in 2022, followed by the single "On the Street" with J. Cole in 2023. As a composer and multi-instrumentalist performer, J-Hope operates across rap, vocal, and production domains, skills honed over more than a decade in one of K-pop's most technically rigorous groups. Born under Aquarius, his life-path number is 7 — a pattern associated with introspection and mastery. South Korean artists of his generation often navigate both domestic and international audiences; J-Hope's Billboard success and collaborations with Western artists like Becky G and J. Cole mark him as a bridge figure in that landscape.
