Hope on the Street Vol. 1 (stylized in all caps) is the first soundtrack and extended play by South Korean rapper and singer-songwriter J-Hope from BTS, released on March 29, 2024. It contains six tracks and features appearances by his bandmate Jungkook, record producers Benny Blanco and Nile Rodgers, Huh Yun-jin of the girl group Le Sserafim, and rappers Jinbo, Gaeko and Yoon Mi-rae.[1]

The album is part of Hope on the Street, a project consisting of the six-part documentary series of the same title, released on March 28, 2024 and the EP which serves as the soundtrack, released the day after. According to Big Hit, it "continues the identity of the dance practice record series that he presented in 2015".[2]

On July 15, 2022, J-Hope released his first studio album, Jack in the Box, as well as a documentary titled J-Hope in the Box, chronicling the making of J-Hope's debut album and his appearance at Lollapalooza.

On March 3, 2023, he released his single "On The Street" with the American rapper J. Cole, which was first announced on February 27, 2023, a day after Big Hit announced J-Hope's impending enlistment for his mandatory military service.[3] On April 18, 2023, he became the second BTS band member to enlist.[4]
