On February 18, KST, BTS member J-Hope surprised fans on his birthday with a teaser of his upcoming project, Hope On The Street.

BIGHIT MUSIC then released a new teaser of Hope On The Street Vol 1 on February 20, KST, announcing that the project will be a two-part release, including a new album and a docuseries.
The announcement came with promotional schedules and sneak peeks of what will be included in the special album.

While BIGHIT MUSIC released the visual previews of the album with some strong blurring to keep the tracklist and featured artists a surprise, ARMYs seem to have decoded some of them with their extraordinary hawk vision.
The first featuring artist that they uncovered was Jungkook. Many agreed that the second song on the tracklist recognizably included “Jung Kook of BTS” in the title.

Some people also recognized another familiar silhouette in the fourth track, which seemingly read, “Huh Yunjin of LE SSERAFIM.”

Some other names that ARMYs seemingly found in the blurred tracklist included JINBO the Superfreak for track 5 and Yoon Mirae and Gaeko for track 6. Given that Yoon Mirae’s label, Feel Ghood Music, had posted a picture of her with Gaeko and J-Hope on its official Instagram teasing a collaboration, the latter guess seems to be more or less confirmed.

3 Love?? (With ….. Nile Rodgers)
