J-HOPE
A remix of J-HOPE’s “MONA LISA” will be released.
BTS member J-HOPE will release “MONA LISA (Remixes)” on March 25th at 1 PM KST. The remix album consists of three versions: the original song, the “Band Remix,” and the “Afropop Remix.”
The band remix adds intense drums and an electric guitar performance to the original song, giving a lively feel, as if the song is playing right in front of you. The joyful guitar solo added to the outro particularly highlights the charm of the group’s remix.
In the “Afropop” remix, J-HOPE’s unique relaxedness and experience stand out. He conveys a fiery energy through a combination of groovy and sensual percussion, a jazz chord progression, and a flavor reminiscent of 2000s pop.
“MONA LISA,” released at 1 PM on March 21st, is a song that wins the heart of an attractive partner. Inspired by the eponymous masterpiece, “The Mona Lisa,” it expresses that touching the heart is not a matter of outward beauty, but of each person’s unique charm.
“MONA LISA” topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in 74 countries/regions, including Brazil, France, and Japan, until 6 a.m. on March 24. It also topped the charts for three days, from March 21 to 23, in the “Worldwide iTunes Song” and “European iTunes Song” categories. On Spotify’s “Daily Top Song Global” (March 21), the world’s largest music streaming platform, it surpassed 3.8 million views in a single day, ranking 12th.
In addition, J-HOPE released a choreography video for “MONA LISA” on his official YouTube channel on March 21 at 9 p.m. KST. This video reveals the details of the choreography and the expressiveness of world-renowned artist J-HOPE.
