(Seoul = News 1) Reporter Taehyun Ahn = BTS' J-Hope confidently 'stands alone' while conducting his first solo world tour.

J-Hope started his first world tour 'J-Hope Tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' Seoul concert at the KSPO Dome in Songpa-gu, Seoul on February 28th. This Seoul concert will be held for three days until the 2nd, and all three concerts were sold out, proving J-Hope's extraordinary ticket power.

J-Hope's world tour will be the second solo world tour by a BTS member after Suga's world tour in 2023. In particular, J-Hope is receiving a lot of attention as he is embarking on solo activities in earnest after being discharged from the military in October of last year and releasing his new song "Sweet Dreams" on March 7.

The scale is also large. After the Seoul concert, J-Hope will begin his North American tour starting on the 13th in Brooklyn, USA, and then visit Chicago, Mexico City, San Antonio, Oakland, and Los Angeles. He will also perform 31 times in 15 cities including Manila, Saitama, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Macau, Taipei, and Osaka.

The most eye-catching are the two-day concerts to be held in Los Angeles, South Korea on April 4th and 6th. The concerts will be held at BMO Stadium, and J-Hope will be the first Korean solo artist to hold a concert at BMO Stadium. J-Hope plans to express 'J-Hope on stage' and the hopes, wishes, and dreams he wishes for with the audience during this tour. He also aims to provide fans with plenty to see, such as revealing for the first time the stages of songs from his special album 'HOPE ON THE STREET VOL. 10' released in March of last year.

Aside from the world tour, J-Hope will also be headlining the music festival 'Lollapalooza Berlin' to be held at the Olympiastadion Berlin, Germany in July.

Lollapalooza is a large-scale music festival that started in 1991 and is held in various places including the United States, France, and Germany. This is J-Hope's second time on the Lollapalooza stage since July 2022. At that time, J-Hope was the first K-pop solo singer to headline Lollapalooza.

J-Hope has already left a strong impression on listeners by showcasing his own hip-hop style and street dance style with his solo albums 'Jack In The Box' and 'Hop On The Street Vol. 1', and this world tour is expected to further strengthen J-Hope's position as a 'solo singer' while still a member of BTS.

J-Hope is amazing

I hope you will continue to be active as a solo artist.
