BTS’ J-Hope brought his electrifying “j-hope Tour ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE’ in JAPAN” to a triumphant close at Japan’s Kyocera Dome Osaka on May 31 and June 1, captivating over 80,000 fans across two sold-out nights. The performances, which were livestreamed to theaters in 70 countries, marked the grand finale of his 31-date world tour spanning 15 regions, including North America and Asia, drawing a staggering 470,000 attendees and cementing his prowess as a solo artist.

Emerging amid thunderous cheers, J-Hope kicked off the Osaka shows with high-octane renditions of tracks from his debut solo album, Jack In The Box, including “What if...” and “Pandora’s Box.” “This is the final stop of my overseas tour,” he declared to the roaring crowd. “It’s an honor to share this moment with you. Let’s make tonight unforgettable!”

The setlist also showcased cuts from his special album HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1, with J-Hope’s signature street dance moves hitting fever pitch. His March 2025 releases, “Sweet Dreams (feat.
