BTS member J-Hope is making history once again — and this time, it’s in Japan!

On April 19, three of Japan’s biggest sports newspapers — Sports Hochi, Daily Sports, and Nikkan Sports — all featured J-Hope on their front pages with special editions dedicated to his solo concert, j-hope Tour ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE’ in JAPAN.

This marks the first time ever that a K-pop solo artist received three major newspaper special editions at the same time. Talk about legendary!

Fans in Japan were so excited that they rushed to convenience stores near the Saitama Super Arena, where the concert was being held, just to grab a copy. The newspapers quickly sold out, proving J-Hope’s huge popularity.

This concert was also extra meaningful for fans because it was J-Hope’s first visit to Japan in about 2 and a half years — his last being the 2022 MAMA AWARDS in November 2022.

The newspaper articles focused on J-Hope’s Saitama concerts, his global journey as a solo artist, and his newest tracks like “Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel)” and “MONA LISA.” They also included a sweet message from him to fans before his big solo stage in Japan.

The concerts on April 19 and 20 at Saitama Super Arena were completely sold out, and J-Hope gave it his all.

He lit up the stage with his powerful vocals, smooth moves, and signature energy. Fans couldn’t take their eyes off him!

During the concert, J-Hope said, “It’s been a really long time since I came to Japan. Being able to be here with so many of you made me feel truly happy again. I’ll carry this love I feel from ARMY in my heart and work hard for the rest of my shows.”

J-Hope kicked off his solo world tour in Seoul this past February. So far, he’s performed for around 178,000 fans across six cities in North America — and now he’s continuing to spread hope in Asia.

Next up? J-Hope will take over Kyocera Dome Osaka with concerts on May 31 and June 1. Get ready, Japan — Hobi’s just getting started!
