BTS’s J-Hope unveiled a video teaser for the lead track of his solo album on Thursday.

The 29-second teaser video for “Arson,” one of the two lead tracks of J-Hope’s solo album “Jack In The Box,” was uploaded on J-Hope’s Instagram and HYBE’s YouTube channel on Thursday. The slow-motion video shows cars in flames before they finally explode. A person wearing a black hoodie is seen running from the cars in the foreground.

The song and the music video will be released at 1 p.m. Friday.

Since announcing last month that J-Hope would be the first member of the boy band to embark on a solo career, he has been dropping hints about the themes and concepts of his music.

“MORE,” another lead track of “Jack In The Box” was pre-released on July 1.

The album consists of 10 songs — “Intro,” “Pandora’s Box,” “MORE,” “STOP,” “= (Equal Sign),” “Music Box: Reflection,” “What if…” “Safety Zone,” “Future” and “Arson.”

According to Big Hit Music, “Jack In The Box” breaks the mold and reflects J-Hope’s passion and contemplation about where to go next.

All 10 songs will be released on music streaming sites on Friday, and the hardcopy of the album will go on sale on July 29.
