He shook ARMYs by showing them a new side to himself with an edgy aesthetic while featuring emo vibes and the old-school hip-hop genre.

Upon the release, he penned a heartfelt letter to ARMYs, sharing it via Weverse. He revealed that the new song had been in the works for a while.

I’m on my way home after finishing my schedules!!! In many aspects, I’m proud and feel good other than the song release.
After the pandemic started, the song that I planned was completed, and I was able to cooly show you all and let you hear the song. So, I think I feel so good it feels like I’m seeing the result of my efforts during that time!! This could also be my personal satisfaction too!!!.. heh

— J-Hope

He has had a desire for a while to showcase this new “cooler,” darker persona to ARMYs. So, he is excited to share it with them finally.

I don’t know how you listened to it, but I think there was always an immature desire that wanted to show you even cooler things and planning for things that I could show you as BTS’s J-Hope, and individually!!!

I think today is the day that I fulfilled those desires ..!

— J-Hope

J-Hope also expressed gratitude to the fandom for their acceptance. Of course, it may not be what we’re used to, but we love him completely.

I feel thankful and perhaps even sorry to the many ARMYs around the world that accepted all of thoughts and feelings together !!

— J-Hope

Rather than only letting ARMYs know one side of himself, J-Hope wants them to know all his personas. This includes the one we know from BTS but also the “average guy” Jung Hoseok.

Overall, I think this album has been filled with those feelings of J-Hopes!!!!!!!

Starting from today, I’m planning to gradually show you those emotions of J-Hopes in various ways.

I’d be thankful if you look forward to it and have interest, as well as recognize that this is an important process where J-Hope and the human called Jung Hoseok are taking their next steps.

J-Hope also communicated that he has three personas through visuals in the “MORE” music video. The MV contained lots of symbolism.
