On the 20th of this month, j-hope successfully completed two concerts at Saitama Super Arena, with all tickets sold out. Similar to the success of the previous North αмєяι¢αn concerts, about 40,000 people attended 2-night concert.
j-hope, who visited נαραи for the first time in about two and a half years since '2022 MAMA AWARDS' in November 2022, said, "It's been a long time since I've been to נαραи. I feel so happy to be with so many people. I will work hard for future performances with my pαѕѕionate love for ARMY in my heart."
Under the dome of the stadium, Jj-hope led the stage with his singing and performance sкιℓℓs. His performance was so impressive that three major sports newspapers in נαραи, Sports Hochi, Daily Sports, and Nikkan Sports, published special editions to commemorate the BTS superstar's solo concert in the cherry blossom country.
j-hope also became the first кσяєαn solo artist to have a special appearance on the front page of three major נαραиese newspapers at the same time.
While the world was moved by his sкιℓℓful dance moves, powerful rap voice, and magnificent stage, his behind-the-scenes stories made fans feel heartbroken. j-hope recently revealed during a live broadcast after the concert that he had a lot of coughs during the tour.
Some fans noticed that j-hope had a problem with his throat and asked him "Is your throat okay?". Then, j-hope replied: "I tried my best to do the concert in good condition but I kept coughing... Well, I need to recover quickly I guess".
Fans noticed that j-hope's health condition had not been good since the North αмєяι¢αn leg. This is probably due to the change in weather, climate and j-hope having to constantly move to different countries during the tour.
Despite his health problems, j-hope always showed his fans 100% of his energy every time he stood on stage. As he stood on the stage, he even told ARMYs with tears that: "As long as I can move, I will keep singing, rapping, and dancing, and that’s how it’s going to be. Will you join me? And honestly, the reason I can do this is all thanks to you guys".
j-hope's spirit touched fans but they also expressed concern about his physical condition, commenting:
- Oh no...get well soon Hobi
- Going on tour is not easy. Hope the coughing goes away. I got sick over 3 weeks ago and I still have the occasion cough. Cough just linger and linger, so I hope he feel better.

j-hope has left his footprint on the world music map throughout the 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' world tour, which started with a concert in Seoul last February. His concert attracted about 178,000 au∂ιєnces in six cities in North αмєяι¢α and continued to rock Asian cities until early June.
