BTS’ very own J-Hope just pulled off a tour that made serious noise, and not just thanks to the music. His 2025 solo tour, “HOPE ON THE STAGE,” officially became the highest-grossing tour by a Korean soloist in the United States, raking in $35 million from 178,094 tickets sold across just 12 shows. Talk about true solo power!

The tour kicked off with a bang in Seoul’s KSPO Dome from February 28 to March 2, where over 37,500 fans showed up to witness J-Hope. From there, he brought the fire to cities across the U.S., Mexico, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia, dazzling crowds with his iconic energy. The BTS member even premiered tracks like “Mona Lisa” and performed a couple of BTS tracks like “Mic Drop.”

The news of his achievement dropped on Pop Core’s socials and was quickly echoed by World Music Awards, who weren’t shy with their emojis or their praise. This tour isn’t just a flex on the charts in the record books, it proves that J-Hope isn’t just a regular boy group member. He’s a force of his own, rewriting records and raising the bar for Korean solo acts worldwide. This surely was the cherry on top before BTS’ reunion later this month in celebration of the 2025 FESTA.
