Hobi’s verse in #on_the_street is deeper than many people think. First, you have to know that the child in the mv is hobi. the kid is wearing Air Jordan 11s. Theyre the same pair Hobi owns now. Air Jordans are also known as J’s so “J in the Air” is a play on the shoes. Air Jordan’s (J’s) are significant bc j.cole mentions the shoes in his song “higher.” Meeting j.cole at lolla, hobi mentioned to him that he loves his mixtape Friday Night Lights, especially Higher. & Hobi found a genius way to add in that reference to both the lyrics and the Music Video. 👏🏼 Air Jordan’s (J’s) are significant bc j.cole mentions the shoes in his song “higher.” Meeting j.cole at lolla, hobi mentioned to him that he loves his mixtape Friday Night Lights, especially Higher & Hobi found a genius way to add it into the lyrics and MV. The child is wearing almost the same outfit as j.cole wears in the MV. This represents how much hobi idolized j.cole and found inspiration in him when he was young. At the start, you see j-hope help kid-hobi put his earphones on, pat his head, shake his hand, and wave to him as they both set off walking down their paths. It’s almost feels like he was comforting and assuring his younger self. Hobi’s verse starts “My two feet walk willingly, anywhere. J in the air” Hobi sets off on a life path that leads him to his destination “j in the air”, represented at the end by him and jcole on the roof. This is where “J in the air” takes on another meaning. He’s playing with the fact that they’re both J’s and they’re “in the air” now. He gave us a hint at his lolla performance “you can call me J” (also, “j in the air” is also a reference to his song Airplane which is about j-hope finding his success after so many hard trials.) “For the path I’m on to become one of hope, I give my all. Even my walk was made of Your love and your faith.” He’s talking about how he worked so hard and made many sacrifices to make sure that the path he willingly chose to follow, became successful. he tells us that it’s bc of our love and faith that all his hard work came to fruition and is what made this path possible. “To repay you even from afar, just like a butterfly” He references BTS’s song Butterfly in this line. His verse:“like a wind that gently strokes me, like a dust that gently drifts along, Youre there but for some reason, I cant reach you” bc hes leaving for a while, he wishes to give this song as his message for us to always have & to comfort us while hes unable to be with us. “Now, just walk lightly, whenever you want Go on hopefully, wherever you walk In these streets imbued with someones breath I leave my soul and my eternity Everywhere (I’ll be)” No matter what path we chose, he wants to always be with us to be our piece of peace. “Every time I walk, Every time I run Every time I move, As always, for us Every time I look, Every time I love Every time I hope, As always, for us” He goes through the mv walking on his path. It shows him as a kid that was inspired by j.cole to him working hard throughout his youth practicing his love of street dance, to eventually climbing up from the bottom to finally reach his destination at the top where he meets and shakes the hand of the man who inspired him from the start.
JCole is JHOPE all time favorite artist and was a honor for him to hat JCole in his song before he goes to his military service. This song is all about bringing people together and spreading love and Hope. 💜🇧🇷💜thanks for your reaction.
Thank you for this reaction. This song is a “good-bye for now” gift from jhope to ARMY as he prepares to enlist in the SK military to fulfill his mandatory service. It’s also a tribute to his muse, as he calls him, and his greatest musical influence, J Cole. I haven’t seen your videos in a while and I could immediately see the improvement in its quality. Your new equipment has paid off 😁. I’m looking forward to your future reactions especially SMF Pt2 by Jimin 💜
