Will BTS J-Hope collaborate with Blackpink? Teaser photos of 'Jack In The Box' raise suspicion

Concept photos for J-Hope's new single 'More' features K-pop group Blackpink and fans wonder if the two acts will collaborate for his solo debut

A lot has been happening in the world of K-pop but no one in their right mind ever thought that BTS and Blackpink, two of the biggest and hottest K-pop acts from the third generation of the genre, would ever collaborate. Twitter as well as the rest of the world are privy to the aggressive fan wars between the two fandoms - ARMYs and Blinks which is why it was never expected for members of the two acts to be seen together in public, let alone participate in similar events or collab with one another. Now as BTS members have told their fans that they plan on working on their solo careers, a lot of such unexpected events are taking place. 

Be it Jungkook featuring in American singer Charlie Puth's new single 'Left and Right' despite the singer having a past tiff with BTS fans. Or be it when the Internet was taken by storm when it was stated that BTS V aka Kim Taehyung not only traveled to Paris with Lisa of Blackpink and actor Park Bo-gum but the trio attended the Celine fashion event with each other. New events from the last few weeks have fans of BTS questioning everything that is posted online. Now as another hint suggests that J-Hope aka Jung Hoseok or Hobi of BTS, who will soon be making his solo debut, might be collaborating with Blackpink which has fans shaking in anticipation.

Is BTS J-Hope going to collaborate with Blackpink?

J-Hope posted the dark version concept photos for his pre-release single 'More' which will be released on July 1, a fortnight ahead of his solo album debut with 'Jack In The Box'. As of June 29, the singer has posted newer, light version concept photos from the album but it seems like fans are still busy analyzing the older photos. In one of the photos that J-Hope posted on his Instagram account, eagle-eyed fans spotted a box among the many photos the BTS rapper shared on his Instagram account. The photo contained a box with the print 'www.blackpink.com' which has raised suspicion among fans. 

Fans, who are aware of the history of the two groups know that Big Hit Music as well as YG Entertainment, the two labels that manage the activities of BTS and Blackpink, make it a point to avoid any conflict between fans of both groups which is why HYBE aka Big Hit Music leaving a link featuring the name of the girl group would not be a silly accident. Not only that but BTS' J-Hope and Blackpink's Rose were recently embroiled in baseless dating rumors after they hung out with a French-Korean chef. While the dating rumors were never confirmed, it is mostly possible that the two could have been working on a new collab.

One fan said, "WTF WTF WTF JHOPE AND BLACKPINK COLLAB? AAACCCKKKKK." One more fan said, "Armyblinks have been truly well fed with taelisa in paris and jhope’s concept photo’s blackpink dot com."

Another fan said, "WHAT THE F**K JHOPE FT BLACKPINK FR???" One more fan said, "HOBI AND BLACKPINK COLLAB??????" One more fan said, "HOBI DONT PLAY WITH ME RN JHOPE FT. BLACKPINK?*?£?£?#?£."

A fan concluded, "SOMETHINGS SHIFTING IN KPOP CAUSE WTF DO U MEAN LISA AND TAEHYUNG TOGETHER AND BLACKPINK IS IN JHOPE'S INSTAGRAM??!?!?!"

One more fan said, "BLACKPINK AND JHOPE COLLAB????" Another fan said, "I'm not breaking wtf is this jhope ft. blackpink ?? Are you kidding me jhope?? Omg."
