This isn’t a surprise as for some other people who is a J-hope stan a few years back until now.
J-Hope performed at Lollapalooza, an annual music festival that takes place in Chicago, becoming the first Korean artist to headline a main stage of a major U.S. music festival. The artist performed a total of 18 songs including tracks from his new solo album “Jack In The Box,” his first mixtape “Hope World,” and “Chicken Noodle Soup” (featuring Becky G), as well as BTS songs including “BTS Cypher Pt. 1” and “Dynamite.”
The whole fandom went wild because this is J-hope’s side, the aesthetic and the most powerful performance set foot in one of the major music festivals in the US.
J-Hope held a V LIVE after that, sharing his thoughts on the music festival.
“Today is a meaningful moment for me. This is just part of the process of an album that started with greed and ambition reaching a grand finale. Through this album, all my scheduled activities benefited me, and I gained certainty once again while partaking in Lollapalooza and seeing everyone. Thank you to everyone who came. It’s an honor. This is a bit embarrassing, but I would like to say that I am proud of myself for overcoming this moment.” J-Hope said.
“I practiced every day for six hours. It’s an important performance, and I can’t put a stain on the name of BTS with such a big performance as BTS’s J-Hope.” He added.
J-Hope mentioned how he felt comforted to have Jimin with him since the fellow BTS member also attended the festival to show support.
This year’s edition of Lollapalooza, which was streamed live on the Hulu platform, also featured the U.S. festival debut of Tomorrow X Together, another South Korean boy band that is under the same label as BTS.
Lollapalooza is an annual four-day music festival held in Grant Park, Chicago from July 28 to 31. J-Hope’s performance at the festival was his live debut. Other headliners included Metallica, Dua Lipa, J. Cole, Green Day, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Baby, and Kygo.
