BTS member J-Hope will be the first to launch his 2025 activities, embarking on his first solo world tour. He will meet ARMYs across North America, Asia, and more.

On January 10, J-Hope announced the world tour via the fan platform Weverse. The tour, titled Hope On The Stage, will begin with a three-day concert from February 28 to March 2 at the KSPO Dome in Songpa-gu, Seoul.

Following Seoul, J-Hope will perform in a total of 15 cities, including Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City, Manila, Saitama, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Macau, Taipei, and Osaka, for a total of 31 shows.

Hope On The Stage marks J-Hope's first-ever solo world tour. The tour name symbolizes "J-Hope on stage," and also conveys the theme of expressing "hope" through performances.

During the tour, J-Hope will perform songs from his special album Hope On The Street Vol.1 live for the first time. The tracks are based on his roots and personal journey.

On January 5, J-Hope shared his New Year's greetings on Weverse, saying, "I hope 2025 will be a year of full bloom and beauty for everyone. I sincerely support your first steps into the new year."

He added, "This year will be an incredibly important one for me. I plan to show you many things."

J-Hope released his first solo album, Jack In The Box, in July 2022, followed by Hope On The Street Vol.1 in March last year.

The album focused on street dance, which has been a fundamental part of his identity. J-Hope showcased music, documentaries, and pop-up events centered on dance. He personally planned the promotions, expanding his role as a creator.

Meanwhile, BTS is expected to reunite as a complete group in June when all members finish their military service. Jungkook recently stated, "This year marks the end of our military service and the year we meet again," hinting at a full-group comeback.
