10+ Things You Might Have Missed In BTS J-Hope’s “MORE” MV
BTS‘s J-Hope has officially made his solo comeback with the first single, “MORE,” off of his upcoming solo album Jack in the Box.
Although J-Hope previously teased the new edgy vibe in Weverse Magazine and his concept photos, it was still a lot to take in! And ARMYs were absolutely shook.

So, you may have missed a few things. Check out some symbols, scenes, and references you might have overlooked below.
1. There’s even symbolism behind the sound design.

3. This wholesome shoutout to his younger self.
when he raps “self learning for 11 years” looking like when he debuted… pic.twitter.com/aGVgoivI9y

4. There are technically three personas.
that scene where hobi is observing himself as an outsider getting diagnosed and it pans to his x-ray and his radiograph, his very CORE also starts talking about how he is drunk on artistic recklessness…jung hoseok the creative genius you are

5. The cinematic parallels to Fight Club and The Wolf Of Wall Street
You know the main character's name in Fight Club is Jack Moore, right? 👀 https://t.co/NIjOhFGCYP

6. The lyrics “Take everything like KitKat” has a double meaning. Basically, whatever J-Hope does, he is sure to succeed.
so in Japanese, KitKat sounds like “kitto katsu”, which means “you are sure to succeed” or more literally translated as “surely win” the lyrical genius you are jung hoseok pic.twitter.com/uGCsDuOmwN

7. He’s not just throwing out obscure references to artists. Spanish artist Salvador Dalí and J-Hope have some things in common.

11. All the lyrics and metaphors are connected too.
like his lyricism is crazy 😭 it’s just something small i noticed but. listening to it all together “yeah i’m thirsty i need to be surfing on the beat i’m a fish in water soak up the music” he definitely did that on purpose n it goes together so well i jus wanted to bring that up

idk if he meant to connect the two like that but either way he’s the coolest ever https://t.co/1Q8pk8557q pic.twitter.com/zCST4vSU06

12. This is only the beginning.
He got the song <MORE> delivered in this box at the beginning, and closes it off in the ending. It's one of his jack-in-the-boxes, the first of many. Surprises no one sees coming that still tells a story of him. #jhope_MORE pic.twitter.com/EQTly6diAE
