I. Introduction
Hope World is the debut mixtape by BTS rapper J-Hope. It was released on March 2, 2018 with "Daydream" serving as the mixtape's title track. A second single titled "Airplane" was released a week later.
II. Background
The first mention of a potential mixtape by J-Hope came in a concept book paired with the BTS album Wings, released on October 16, 2016. In an interview portion of the booklet, he was asked if he had any intention of releasing his own mixtape as the other rappers in BTS had done prior. He stated that he was thinking about it.
In February, J-Hope teased the mixtape in post directed to fans on BTS' Daum portal, writing that the mixtape was coming soon.
For Hope World's three-year anniversary, J-Hope released a full, three-minute long version of its closing track "Blue Side (Outro)" on March 1, 2021—it was uploaded to the BTS Soundcloud page for free.
