The highly anticipated tour will be the first time the “MORE” hitmaker will be out on the road performing following the end of his mandatory military service last October 17, 2024 after 18 months of fulfilling his duties. The tour’s title is in reference to j-hope’s six-part documentary Hope on the Street, which premiered last March 28, 2024 on Amazon Prime Video and TVING, and sees the K-pop icon tracing back his roots as a dancer with his former instructor Boogaloo Kin.
The documentary was accompanied by its very own soundtrack HOPE ON THE STREET VOL. 1 – a six-track EP, which sees j-hope team up with a number of different artists, this includes fellow BTS member Jungkook, as well as benny blanco, Nile Rodgers, LE SSERAFIM‘s HUH YUNJIN, Gaeko, and YOON MIRAE. It was released on March 29, 2024, a day after the documentary’s premiere.
Prior to his military enlistment, j-hope marked a major milestone in his solo career by making history as the first-ever Korean artist to headline Lollapalooza last July 2022. His headlining appearance at the major American festival was covered in his first documentary j-hope IN THE BOX, which also recounted his time bringing his debut album Jack In The Box to life.
