BTS’ J-Hope Doc ‘Hope on the Street’ to Release on Prime Video – The Hollywood Reporter

Hope on the Street, a docu-series featuring j-hope of K-pop supergroup BTS, has landed exclusively at Prime Video. Produced by BTS’ label HYBE, the six-part series will premiere on the Amazon service worldwide on March 28, with new episodes released every Thursday and Friday.

Prime Video describes Hope on the Street as profiling j-hope’s origin story and love for dancing as he begins a new journey in the 12th year of his professional career. The series chronicles his return to his roots as a dancer and has elements of a travel show. Accompanied by his former dance instructor, the popping champion Boogaloo Kin, j-hope explores the streets of Osaka, Seoul, Paris, New York, and Gwangju, meeting inspiring street dancers along the way.

The documentary will also feature songs from j-hope’s wildly anticipated solo album, Hope on the Street Vol.1, which is set for release on March 29. The release is described by j-hope’s label as a six-track “special album.” The new project follows his 2022 solo album, Jack in the Box, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Hope on the Street Vol.1 will be released digitally on March 29 at 1 p.m., Korea time — and pre-sales go on sale today, Feb. 19.

The new series is a treat for fans amid j-hope’s ongoing hiatus from performing. The star is currently completing his mandatory 18-month military service in Korea, which began in April 2023. After completing his basic training in May 2023, j-hope was appointed as an assistant training instructor with Korea’s 36th Infantry Division in Wonju.
