J-Hope hasn't always been the musical one. He holds the title 'main dancer' in the group. He takes part in the choreography, hence earning his nickname 'choreography team leader' 'Chief Jung.' But after joining BTS, he came to envision a career in music. Since December 2015, J-Hope has been releasing a number of self-written pieces. After J-Hope's increased coverage in the 2016-released track 'Blood Sweat & Tears,' fans are ecstatic to see more of him on stage.

Right before releasing his mixtape, J-Hope stated on V LIVE "Releasing a mixtape was my lifelong dream. I wanted to share my music with many." And he wasn't too shy to show his passion for music. He stated, "I never thought that I would come to love music so much." He added "I began with dancing, with dancing I came to learn music, and for someone who expresses music with my body, I came to Seoul, met RM, Suga and other rappers, and I learned a lot, studied a lot. My friends and hyungs helped me a great deal. I came to truly love music. It might sound a bit corny, but music is my life."
