BTS’s j-hope has once again proven his overwhelming ticket power.

His first-ever world tour, "j-hope Tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE'", will take place from February 28 to March 2 at the KSPO DOME in Seoul. The Seoul concerts, which went on sale for fan club pre-booking on the 14th, sold out all three shows immediately.

'HOPE ON THE STAGE' will kick off in Seoul and will head to Brooklyn for the North American tour starting March 13. Notably, j-hope will perform at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on April 4 and 6, marking the first time a Korean solo artist has performed at this venue.

Foreign media outlets have also reacted to the tour announcement. U.S. economic magazine Forbes introduced the tour as "a signal of j-hope’s return to the global stage and a new beginning." It also highlighted that j-hope is the first Korean solo artist to perform at BMO Stadium, solidifying his pioneering position in the K-pop world. Additionally, Forbes praised his stage presence, stating, "As the first Korean artist to headline at Lollapalooza, j-hope is well-accustomed to captivating large audiences."

Furthermore, several media outlets, including the Associated Press (AP) and Consequence of Sound, covered j-hope’s world tour news, reflecting on his success at the Lollapalooza festival held in Chicago in 2022.

'HOPE ON THE STAGE' will feature 31 concerts across 15 cities: Seoul, Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City, San Antonio, Oakland, Los Angeles, Manila, Saitama, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Macau, Taipei, and Osaka. During the tour, j-hope will express his hopes, wishes, and dreams with his audience. Additionally, he plans to debut live performances of tracks from his special album HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1, released last March, promising a performance rich in exciting content.

On the 10th, j-hope surprised fans by posting a video titled "j-hope 'Beginning of a New Dream'" on the official BTS YouTube channel. The video showcases j-hope working on music in the U.S. and ends with him saying, "See you in Korea," while teasing fans with the message "New music on the way. 2025.03." on his social media, fueling anticipation.
