SEOUL, June 2 (Yonhap) -- BTS' J-Hope held his solo world tour "HOPE ON THE STAGE" at Kyocera Dome Osaka on May 31 and June 1, attracting a total of 80,000 fans over the two days, according to his agency BigHit Music on Monday.
The Osaka concerts marked the final overseas stop of the world tour, which began last February at the KSPO Dome (Gymnastics Arena) in Seoul Olympic Park and included 31 shows across 15 regions in North America and Asia. Through the tour, J-Hope brought in approximately 470,000 attendees.
Tickets for the Osaka shows sold out quickly, and the performances were broadcast live in cinemas across 70 countries worldwide.
During the concert, J-Hope performed a wide range of solo tracks including "What If…", "Pandora's Box", "SWEET DREAMS", and "MONA LISA". He also thrilled fans with a medley of BTS hits such as the Japanese versions of "MIC Drop" and "Baepsae", as well as "Dis-ease".
J-Hope said, “This tour was a major challenge and a dream come true for me. It’s a beautiful memory that I’ll never forget. I truly felt the immense love I receive from all around the world. The real stars of this concert are the ARMY (BTS fandom).”
He will hold encore solo concerts at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on June 13—the anniversary of BTS’s debut—and the following day, June 14. He is also set to release a new digital single titled "Killin It Girl" at 1 p.m. on June 13.
