The two solo shows, which are now sold out, are scheduled on April 4 and April 6 at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. A total of 46,236 tickets were sold across both nights, marking a major milestone for the Chicken Noodle Soup singer.
The ARMY applauds BTS' J-Hope's achievements and has poured their thoughts on social media. This is what one of them had to say:

So far, all of J-Hope's shows in San Antonio, Oakland, Chicago, and Los Angeles are sold out. This is one of the major accomplishments of J-Hope as a solo K-pop artist.

"We don’t care," remarked (@BN_OTAKU)
J-Hope made his debut in 2013 as a member of the BTS band, and his first release was his debut mixtape, Hope World, which he released in March 2018. While he was with BTS, he released two solo tracks; Intro: Boy Meets Evil and Mama from the 2016 album Wings.
The Hope on the Stage tour is a significant milestone for J-Hope as a Korean artist, and the sell-out at the two stadiums also plays a major role in breaking down cultural and language barriers.
In 2022 he released his debut album, Jack in the Box, and in 2023 he came out with his single, On the Street. In March 2025, he released a romantic track, Sweet Dreams, and his digital single, Mona Lisa.
