BTS’ j-hope has got ARMYs buzzing with excitement for his upcoming Jack in the Box vinyl release

ARMYs are stoked about Jack in the Box vinyl release and have taken to social media to express their excitement.

Fans even posted details about how they have already ordered the album.

Others are hoping to save enough money to purchase Jack in the Box’s limited vinyl release soon.

ARMYs are hyping the fandom to support Jack in the Box and give it all the love it truly deserves.

Previously, BIG HIT MUSIC had announced that Jack in the Box would be released as a “Weverse album”.

For those unversed, Weverse is a HYBE-owned fan-community platform with the accompanying e-commerce app Weverse shop, which sells subscriptions for content on Weverse, artist-related products, and merchandise.

Jack in the Box Weverse album version will include:

• Card holder (1 random out of 2)
• Photocard A (1 type) / W54*H86 (mm)
• Photocard B (1 random out of 2) / W54*H86 (mm)
• QR card (User guide) / W54*H86 (mm)

All you have to do is login to Weverse and scan the QR code by tapping on the [+] button at the upper right corner, or the [Add Album].

If fans have trouble scanning the QR code, they can enter the digital code at the bottom and download Jack in the Box album.

ARMYs can check out the full tracks of the album and exclusive photos available only on Weverse Albums.

However, ARMYs weren’t exactly pleased with the announcement at the time. While it has been viewed as a method of being environmentally cautious as HYBE tests their ESG strategy, many felt it was a hypocritical move on BIG HIT MUSIC’s part.

For the unversed, ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance. ESG strategy is an important benchmark on how environmentally and socially responsible organizations are and whether they are taking the right steps in that direction or not.

ARMYs were disappointed that BIG HIT MUSIC used this strategy for an artist’s solo release instead of the other groups in their company who have multiple album versions released, causing mass wastage of resources.

BIG HIT MUSIC heard ARMYs collective prayers and j-hope’s Jack in the Box is getting an old-school limited edition vinyl rather than a CD release.
