BTS member J-HOPE is set to make his return next month with a new solo single.
BigHit Music announced on May 29 that J-HOPE will release a digital single titled “KILLIN’ IT GIRL” on June 13 at 1 p.m. KST.
“KILLIN’ IT GIRL” is a hip-hop track that honestly captures the thrill of falling in love at first sight. American rapper GloRilla, who reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200 with her studio album last year, is featured on the track.
This release will mark the conclusion of J-HOPE’s solo single project, which began in March. As part of the project, he has already released songs like “Sweet dreams“ and “Mona Lisa.“
In a recent appearance on Apple Music Radio’s “The Zane Lowe Show,” he shared:
“I carefully structured this solo project with the emotional flow and sequence in mind. I’ve been unraveling those emotions one by one, and the final single is the one I’m most personally attached to.”
On July 11, each song from the project will also be released in a unique physical format: a keyring called “Charm of HOPE.”
“Charm of HOPE” is a set of three keyrings, each representing the concept of one of the singles — “SWEET DREAMS,” “MONA LISA,” and “KILLIN’ IT GIRL.” Each keyring contains one song.
J-HOPE personally participated in the design of the keyrings, which feature NFC (Near Field Communication)technology, allowing fans to easily play the music by tapping the keyring to a smartphone.
Finally, J-HOPE will hold an encore concert, “HOPE ON THE STAGE FINAL,” on July 13 and 14 at the main stadium of the Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province.
