<Korean News> J-HOPE’s First Solo Concert: “A Performance Where I Gave My Everything”

J-HOPE held the third concert of his first solo world tour, "J-HOPE Tour - HOPE ON THE STAGE in SEOUL," on the afternoon of the 2nd at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul.

On this day, J-HOPE met fans in person for the first time since his military discharge in October last year. He enthusiastically shouted, "Make some noise!" and enjoyed the cheers of the audience.

He greeted the crowd by saying, "I can confidently say this will be the best concert. It’s truly great to see you. I am BTS’s J-HOPE." He continued, "Normally, I should greet you first, but I was so surprised by the loud cheers. I wanted to feel your energy right away."

Explaining the concert’s title, he said, "There’s a reason it’s called ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE.’ It literally means that J-HOPE will show many things on stage. There’s no better way to express it. I chose a simple and straightforward title. Many people will experience different emotions, and I intend to express those emotions on stage."

He also expressed gratitude, saying, "I am infinitely thankful. I plan to pour everything I have into this performance. I trust that you are just as ready as I am."

Following the Seoul concert, J-HOPE will continue his tour in 15 cities with 31 performances, including Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City, San Antonio, Oakland, Los Angeles, Manila, Saitama, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Macau, Taipei, and Osaka.
