Now that BTS are on group hiatus (or whatever HYBE wants to call it), it’s time for the members to further develop their solo pursuits. This kicks off with J-Hope, who already has several singles to his name. Ahead of his headlining performance at this year’s Lollapalooza, he’s set to release his first official album Jack in the Box. This is preceded by new track More, which may offer a taste of the sounds he’ll reveal later this month.
For those familiar with J-Hope’s past solo work, More will feel like a hard turn. Gone are the bright colors and upbeat energy, replaced by a grungy style that capitalizes on the resurgence of rock guitar in K-pop (and global music, for that matter). After BTS’s past few singles, I admire J-Hope’s decision to release something this un-commercial. More draws from many tried-and-true influences (90’s hip-hop, that aforementioned grunge), but doesn’t tie them into a neat package. There’s barely a notable hook to be found, and the energy is quite confrontational throughout. Entire segments are given over to muffled shouts. Butter, this ain’t!
Of course, admiration doesn’t automatically mean I’m dying to replay the song. More isn’t really for me, nor was it designed to be. It’s too amorphous to hold much favor on my playlist. The boisterous guitar during the hook is super satisfying, but without a chorus to support it the instrumental comes across as great production in search of a great song. The same could be said for the beat, which hits surprisingly hard for a track this freeform. Still, More is going to find many avid fans, and it’s fun to see J-Hope explore new musical avenues.

this is the kind of song that feels pretty exciting when i listen to it, but without a memorable hook, will probably leave my memory right after. i love the instrumental though

My thoughts on this song are mixed. On the one hand, I’m really in love with that rock guitar which appears during the chorus.
On the other hand, it’s absolutely hookless. Just because of this, I don’t think I’ll be returning to it often, and the song has got a big chance to leave my memory soon.
Agree with your rating.

Since you are a fellow human being..I am here to teach you about the More MV. First read what I am going to copy paste write here. And before that I would like to tell you that the black hat jhope was wearing is a jester cap..jester were people who used to mock the king in the name of entertainment. Here you go :
Jack isn’t evil. The man he trips is the boss of tired workers who are crushed by the weight of his expectations! Jack makes the boss look like a fool, he is the jester mocking the king, he is our dissatisfaction at the status quo, he is our rage against the machine.
Also I can’t get over the scene at the end which he stares into the world within the box, the world where he trips the boss, creating a rebellion. It represents how he has a different perspective that no one else has, he can see whole picture, and sees the world for what it is.
The perspective of the Jester is the same, an outsider. They were in the court but not respected. As the lowest member of the court, undoubtedly, Jesters would see everything that happened, but the difference was they could criticize the King as long as it was entertaining.
He can be privy to secrets, he can mock the King, he can criticize the world, but if he does any of it, he better be entertaining, or else. That’s how a Jester rebels, that’s how a Jester overthrows a King. Through song and dance and sounds of laughter.
Kinda makes you think.

What a heated up discussion has been started in this comment session 😛
I’ve been reading this blog for like a year and I’ve never seen the author disrespect any artist. My comment was in general, in the last year nobody seems to be happy with BTS work. Some songs like Permission to Dance I didn’t really like, but I move on and pay attention to the things I like instead of starting wanfars or insulting people who have a different opinion.
As of the lyrics, now that I’ve listened to the song more and looked up some translation (nor English or Korean are my first languages, and I don’t really trust translations because some nuances are difficult to translate to languages so different as English or Spanish which is my language), and I am falling in love with this song more and more everyday, its like I can’t stop listening to it.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand J-Hope’s “More”. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of empty chorus physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Hoseok’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation – his personal philosophy draws heavily from Caillou Gets Grounded literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike J-Hope’s “More” truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existencial catchphrase “Hah, shout out, I say “more”,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Eternity’s epic “I’m Real.” I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as J-Hope’s genius unfolds itself on their ears. What fools… how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a J-Hope tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Uhm, what’s happening here? Woah, your blog is getting tons of traffic Nick if the Twitter trolls are casually lounging here. It did give me a laugh on a pretty bad day so thank you trolls I guess?
Anyways, I thought the “song” was ok. It’s not my cup of tea but I appreciate Jhope’s attempts to do something different. PTD, this is definitely not. As an ARMY, I def. did have a mini-breakdown about the hiatus but I think the guys def. do realize that their music had been a letdown and they need time to sort out what musical direction they want to take. I am worried that their solo ventures will be either too left field(like this) or go quite cookie-clutter (like Jungkook’s collab with Puth) but we’ll see, I guess.
I read the billboard piece and it’s so sad that the fandom harasses journalists for expressing their opinion about BTS’s music. A hiatus is a break and I don’t like how RM tried to blame journalists for saying what they did. Of course, people are going to speculate and some would point towards disbandment but its not like anyone’s covering BTS like they are tabloid fodder that he went off on journos like that. Unless local coverage in Korea was such, this was avoidable. I mostly stay away from twitter because its truly dumpster diving into humanity’s worst personalities. My interactions with other ARMY have not gone well and we don’t need to switch off our brains to support a band but I realize that common sense arguments cannot be had on twitter. The only other toxic fandom that I have seen is BLINK and I remember seeing Army and Blink just going off against each other and they need to get a grip.

A couple of people have made the vibe in this comment section quite peculiar..it was an amusing read regardless.
The first time I listened to this song I thought “Wait, that’s it?!” once it finished, since I was waiting for some sort of climactic/catchy hook to reel into the song. It’s definitely not bad though, I do think the drum and guitar make it a pleasant song to groove to, especially if I’m working on something.
I think it’s definitely a fun song to bop my head to when I’m in the moment, but unfortunately the lack of hooks makes it difficult for me to come back and re-listen. Since it’s still a new release I’ll give it a few more tries, but I don’t see myself coming back to this song very often.
Regardless, a commenter here did point out that this isn’t the main title for Jhope’s album, so still looking forward to his future releases! I really enjoyed his mix tape.

But for more I like the beat, the colours and vocals but I also know that not everyone is open to this type of music so yeah (everyone is entitled to expressing his or her opinion) it most likely is a one-off for most but for me I just want to see each member explore their individuality and show us their styles,tastes and everything in between 🙃🙃I’m here for it and so even though I’m an average music lover and I only started paying attention to bts music this year 😂😂 I’m staying so guys after all this epistle I just wanna say express yourselves but be sure not to hurt others while doing so, words can go a long way you might not mean to sound a certain way but once words come out not even an apology can tak’em back in essence chill on the comments 🤸🤸🤸

I seriously doubt that BTS or Jhope would appreciate the nasty comments being lobbed at the reviewer. BTS are the opposite of such attitudes. I find it distressing when people try to rip into someone for stating their opinion. He already said the song isn’t meant for him. I personally love the song – love the surprise of it, the dark punk sensibility – but it doesn’t work for him. It’s not gonna hurt BTS or Jhope. Their reputations are firmly established. I don’t understand why people who claim to love a group that is all about acceptance are so freaking vindictive. That sort of poison will eat you up.

Recently I’ve getting into grunge, rock, heavy metal type music and I think if this song came out earlier, I wouldn’t like it. It’s good timing on Jhope’s part, like he’s reading my mind lol.

Okay, I’ve stopped being able to tell the difference between the parodies and the actual comments from the toxic fandom reps. This is comedy gold. But…now the cool kids will never let me sit at their table.

I was prepared to ‘dislike’ it. But this song kind of rocks. Production-wise, this is really excellent. Totally un-HYBE-ish.
