BTS’s J-Hope has officially wrapped up the Asia leg of his ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE’ solo world tour with two electrifying, sold-out performances at Kyocera Dome Osaka on May 31 and June 1—drawing a combined crowd of over 80,000 fans.
The concerts not only showcased his dynamic artistry but also marked a significant career milestone as his first-ever solo dome shows in Japan.
The Osaka concerts served as the grand finale of a global tour that began in February at the KSPO DOME in Seoul and spanned 15 cities across North America and Asia, culminating in 31 performances.
Altogether, J-Hope amazed approximately 470,000 fans, reaffirming his status as a global force both within and outside of BTS.
A Night of Passion, Power, and Gratitude
Opening the night with powerful tracks from his debut solo album Jack In The Box—including “What if…” and “Pandora’s Box”—J-Hope lit up the stage with his signature energy and stage presence. In a heartfelt message to fans, he said,
“This is the final stop of my overseas tour. I’m honored to share this moment with you. Let’s make this night unforgettable.”
The concert featured a rich setlist including songs from his special album HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1, with standout performances like “Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel)” and “MONA LISA”, blending emotional depth with experimental visuals.
A medley of BTS hits, including Japanese versions of “MIC Drop,” “Baepsae,” and “Dis-ease,” further ignited the stadium, creating a moment of unity between solo and group eras.
Global Reach Beyond the Dome
Beyond the physical stadium, the Osaka shows were broadcast live in cinemas across 70 countries, amplifying J-Hope’s global reach and allowing fans around the world to be part of the experience. From Tokyo to Toronto, the wave of energy from Osaka rippled worldwide.
An Encore and a New Release on the Horizon
While the Asia leg may be over, J-Hope’s solo journey continues. He will return for an encore concert titled ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE FINAL’ on June 13 and 14 at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province.
As a special gift to fans, he’ll also release a new digital single, “Killin It Girl” (feat. GloRilla), on June 13 and perform it live for the first time at the encore concert.
Legacy in the Making
More than just a tour, ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE’ symbolized J-Hope’s transformation from group member to fully realized solo artist. Reflecting on the experience, he shared,
“This tour was a major challenge and a dream come true. I’ve truly felt the love of ARMY around the world. You are the real stars of this tour. I promise I’ll be back.”
With an encore ahead and new music on the horizon, J-Hope’s momentum shows no sign of slowing.
As he continues to dance between bold creativity and heartfelt sincerity, one thing is clear: his stage is only growing bigger—and ARMY will be there every step of the way.
