On Friday, J-Hope of BTS will release their new single, “Mona Lisa.”


J-Hope, a member of the popular K-pop boy band BTS, will release his new single, “Mona Lisa,” on March 21, his management agency, BigHit Music, announced Monday.
The song, which will be available starting at 1 pm on Friday, compares a love interest to Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting.
Through this song, which combines hip-hop with R&B, J-Hope expresses that the charm that truly moves the heart is each person’s uniqueness, not their external beauty.
The singer-rapper, who contributed to writing the song, will drop a new version of “Sweet Dreams,” which he released on Mar. 7, at 1 pm on Tuesday.
This version, arranged by Australian music production duo FNZ, blends funky rhythms with a bass sound and soulful piano performances, the agency said.
J-Hope will also headline the Lollapalooza music festival in Berlin in July.
Before his Berlin performance, the artist will kick off his solo world tour with three concerts at the KSPO Dome in Seoul and will visit a total of 15 cities, including New York City and Chicago in the US, Mexico City, Manila, in the Philippines, and Saitama in Japan.
J-Hope, whose real name is Jung Ho-seok, completed his 18-month mandatory military service in South Korea in October.
