j-hope will hold an encore concert of his world tour at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium on June 13 and 14.
The BTS rapper announced this on the 7th by posting a poster for 'j-hope Tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' FINAL' on the global fan platform Weverse. His appearance, sitting on an elevator and exuding intense charisma, further increased the excitement of fans.
j-hope's world tour as a solo artist started on February 28 at KSPO DOME. Since then, he has met fans around the world with 23 performances in 11 cities including Brooklyn, Chicago and мєχι¢σ City, Manila, Saitama, ѕιиgαρσяє, Jakarta, and is about to hold his final performances in Bangkok, Macau, Taipei, and Osaka.
The encore concert in Seoul will conclude j-hope's brilliant solo journey and, in particular, being held on the same day as BTS's debut (June 13), it will be a meaningful gift for ARMYs all over the world. The management company Big Hit Music said: "We're preparing to ensure that #jhope's unique explosive energy & immersive performance will be vividly delivered."
On the other hand, when the news was announced to fans, J-Hope also immediately conducted a live broadcast to share his excitement and anticipation for the final performance.
He said immediately at the beginning of the broadcast: "I actually won't be doing a long live, but I wanted to share in the good news and the happy feelings. You'll know if you saw the notice but the final concert will happen in Seoul, at the Goyang Stadium. I had wanted to tell you at many time and I'm so happy I can tell you about it now."
In particular, j-hope repeatedly mentioned that BTS members will be completely discharged from the military at the time of FESTA, which is also the time the concert takes place. "Actually, if you think about it, since last year I've been sharing news with you during these lives. And being able to tell you about the final concert makes me think that time has flown by. And it's a meaningful day for BTS and most of the members will be discharged", j-hope clearly expressed his anticipation.
He also added: “Most of the members will be discharged by then. I think this Festa will be extremely meaningful this year. And it's deeply meaningful to me too and this news is soмєтнing befitting of Festa. It's our debut day and it's when many Tannies will be back and it's meaningful. And Hope on the Stage, I think on that day I will be emotional, and it'll be when we put a close on it".
"We planned it this way and after many discussions, we wanted to do this with many ARMYs and thankfully we had this opportunity and in order to do it with more ARMYs, we'll hold it at Goyang Stadium. I'm so grateful. Now we'll really have a Festa that has Bangtan in it. Finally!", he mentioned.
Based on what he said and the expression on his face, fans feel that the 7 members will appear or even have a reunion performance at the final concert on June 13. Speculative comments flooded social media after j-hope's live broadcast:
- this makes me feel extra emotional like we as a family really made it !!
- we’re having a great festa this year too
- omggg are we going to see the other membersss???
- HE'S GONNA BE THERE WITH BANGTAN MARK MY WORDS
- IT IS GONNA BE 6 MEMBERS ON STAGE THEN ANOTHER CONCERT WHEN YOONGI WILL BE THERE
- It’s gonna be SO HOT in the stadium in June… BTS semi-reunion for Festa
- If Yoongi released earlier then we might witness ot7 performing mic drop but I don't think we will get that performance without Yoongi. Only performance we might surely get Jungkook performing I wonder with hobi
- Probably JK will sing "I wonder" with j-hope - at least acapella version, and the rest will appear on stage at some point... it's also possible that there will be more songs of BTS or they will add a VCR with the band.
- Surprises to come! I know, I know this day surely comes. Welcome back BTS 7!
Meanwhile, 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' FINAL' is expected to be a high-quality concert, concluding j-hope's solo journey. He is receiving positive reviews from both the public and critics for his profound musical sкιℓℓs and overwhelming stage presence, and everyone is looking forward to seeing how he will end his world tour.
