J-HOPE is "ON THE STAGE" in the States and in San Antonio!

K-pop superstar J-Hope is hitting the road for his first-ever solo world tour, "Hope on the Stage," and San Antonio is lucky enough to be one of the few U.S. cities on the list! This tour is a huge moment for J-Hope, showcasing his evolution as an artist and giving fans a rare chance to experience his music and stage presence up close.

J-Hope’s Solo Journey and Achievements

J-Hope first stepped into the solo spotlight in 2018 with his mixtape Hope World, which made waves on the Billboard 200, debuting at No. 63 and peaking at No. 38. This made him the highest charting Korean soloist at the time. He continued breaking records in 2019 with Chicken Noodle Soup, a collaboration with Becky G that landed on the Billboard Hot 100, proving his global appeal. His latest album, Hope on the Street, Vol. 1, released in March 2024, climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard 200, further highlighting his artistic growth and versatility.

J-Hope has also made history outside of album charts. In 2022, he became the first South Korean artist to headline a major U.S. music festival when he took the main stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago, an unforgettable moment for both him and his fans.
