j-hope of BTS wrapped up the North American leg of his first solo world tour, HOPE ON THE STAGE, with a historic two-night run at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on 4 and 6 April. The performances marked a milestone in the global icon’s journey—making him the first South Korean male artist to headline a stadium concert in North America.

Opening with high-octane tracks from Jack In The Box (2022), j-hope ignited the crowd amid a sea of glowing ARMY BOMBs. A standout moment came when GRAMMY-winning R&B star Miguel surprised the crowd with a live rendition of their March 2025 hit ‘Sweet Dreams.’ The chemistry between the two artists turned the stadium into a massive sing-along.
The show’s five-act structure—Ambition, Dream, Expectation, Fantasy, and Wish—reflected j-hope’s creative vision, with him overseeing everything from setlist to stage design. Visually stunning, the concert featured shape-shifting lifts, a retro dance floor for HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1 tracks, and jaw-dropping choreography, including a fierce performance of viral hit ‘MONA LISA.’
Ending with an emotionally-charged encore featuring ‘= (Equal Sign),’ ‘Future,’ and ‘NEURON’ with Gaeko and yoonmirae, j-hope delivered a show that was as personal as it was powerful.
Following stops in cities like Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City, and Oakland, j-hope now continues his 31-show global trek across Asia.
