On the 23rd (local time), J-Hope participated in the 'Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event' (Le Gala des Pieces Jaunes) held at the La Defense Arena in Paris, France. It has been reported that French First Lady Brigitte Macron, who hosted the event, asked J-Hope to be the opening performer for the event.
The concert venue was filled with BTS' official cheering sticks, the 'Army Bomb'. J-Hope, who drew an explosive response as soon as he appeared, performed a total of three songs, including 'On The Street (Solo Version)' from his album Hope on the Street Vol. 1, the title song 'MORE' from his first solo album Jack in the Box, and BTS's 'MIC Drop'. The 35,000 audience members in the venue responded with a 'Korean chant'.
J-Hope said through his agency Big Hit Music, "It's been a really long time since I've greeted you on a European stage. I'm happy that I could meet you in such a meaningful place." He added, "I realized once again how wonderful it is to be able to give hope and comfort to people through song and dance."
He then added, "I would like to thank ARMY for their support. If I get the chance, I will come back and show you a great performance."
