BTS member J-hope is set to introduce a keyring-style album format. According to HYBE Music Group's label BIGHIT MUSIC, j-hope will release the keyring album "j-hope 'Charm of HOPE'" on July 11th. The album will contain his solo digital single across three different versions. The keyring album incorporates NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, allowing fans to easily access music and related content simply by touching the keyring to their smartphones. This format maintains the collectible value of physical albums while adding digital accessibility, offering fans a unique experience. 

"Charm of HOPE" refers to small, precious decorations (charm) while simultaneously representing the unique charm that j-hope conveys through his music. Each version features various objects symbolizing the digital single, with j-hope directly participating in the design process. Previously, j-hope garnered fresh attention in 2022 with his first Weverse Album "Jack In The Box." The Weverse Album format was notable at the time for going beyond existing QR code-based Weverse services (VOD, surveys, emblem provision, etc.) to provide CD-quality audio and digital photo content accessible through QR codes. 

Meanwhile, j-hope will release "Killin' It Girl," the final track of his solo single project, on June 13th at 1 PM. He plans to premiere the new song's stage performance at his "HOPE ON THE STAGE" tour finale concerts, which will be held for two days starting June 13th at Goyang Stadium.
