Peter Hall; tall, lean, gangling, long-faced, he triumphed first in one of Shakespeare’s least-known roles, Henry VI, which he brought to life in the RSC’s quatercentenary cycle, The Wars of the Roses, and again with a resolutely “contemporary” interpretation of Hamlet. But within a decade of those early glories, which he achieved in his early twenties, Warner was drawn increasingly to the cinema – not that he took it as seriously as he had the classical stage, but as he said, when living in Los Angeles years later, “I am a letterbox actor.

BTS rapper J-Hope has confirmed that while the band’s members have largely suspended group activities to pursue other endeavours, the K-pop septet are “definitely” not on hiatus.In a new interview with Variety about his debut solo album, ‘Jack In The Box’, J-Hope was asked about BTS’ announcement in June that they were planning to “take time to explore some solo projects”, and concern from fans that the split could be extended.“When we talked about the temporary break, or focusing on solo projects, we really just were trying to be honest with how we feel and what we want to pursue going forward,” J-Hope told the publication.“I was a little surprised that people took it in a different way than how we expected them to receive or understand that news. I think there was a little bit of loss in translation as we conveyed that message.

the “Butter” boy band. And just to prove that he’s gone from bubblegum to badass, he even drops the F-bomb on on the album-closing “Arson,” of which the fiery video also arrived Friday.“I burned it all/And I wanted it all,” J-Hope raps over an eerie, almost sinister undercurrent.Clearly, with the harder hitting hip-hop of “Jack in the Box” — which finds J-Hope switching between English and Korean — he wants to torch his old BTS image.But the track that perhaps has the biggest hit potential, “= (Equal Sign),” returns J-Hope to poppier territory, delivering a “come together” message with echoes of the Black Eyed Peas and Justin Timberlake hit “Where Is the Love?” Although J-Hope will be making history as the first South Korean artist to headline a major US festival when he rocks Lollapalooza on July 31, the jury is still out on whether he will be able to pull a Timberlake and become a solo superstar.Here, we look back on the hits (Harry Styles) and misses (Nick Carter) when boy-banders have gone solo.MJ set the template for going from a boy band to a solo idol when he left behind his brothers in the Jackson 5 and ascended to the King of Pop throne with the back-to-back blockbusters of 1979’s “Off the Wall,” 1982’s “Thriller” and 1987’s “Bad.” And even though child-molestation allegations before and after his 2009 death have tarnished his legacy, nobody has ever ruled the music world like he once did.The former One Direction heartthrob still sings the group’s biggest hit, “What Makes You Beautiful,” in his concerts.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticIf we were going to borrow the terminology of one pop-culture juggernaut, “Star Wars,” for another, BTS, we might call this phase of the career of one of the group’s members “BTS, Episode II: A New J-Hope.” At least, J-Hope himself considers this the beginning of a second chapter in the ensemble’s career as well as a fresh start for his own, as today he releases “Jack in the Box,” the first of in a series of solo albums that each member of BTS is expected to be putting out in the months to come.It makes sense that the artist known offstage as Jung Ho-seok would be the first band member to release a full solo project during what is being characterized as a refueling between group endeavors. Since he’s known primarily as a rapper, there will necessarily be fewer comparisons drawn between his solo material and pop earworms of BTS’ past like “Dynamite” and “Butter.” But in another sense, there’s risk involved in coming right out with something that bears quite so little similarity to anything that would be described as a BTS signature sound.

BTS‘ J-Hope has revealed the reactions of his bandmates RM and Jungkook to his debut solo album ‘Jack In The Box’.The South Korean singer-rapper spoke to Rolling Stone upon the release of his debut solo record ‘Jack In The Box’, where he recalled the reactions he got from RM and Jungkook when they first listened to the record.“The first person I shared the album with … it’s always the same for me. I always share with RM first,” J-Hope said. “When RM heard the album, he said, ‘Wow, I didn’t think you’d do music like this.
