J-Hope, a member of BTS, achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first K-pop soloist to sell out a stadium concert in the U.S., with two sold-out performances at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on April 4 and 6, 2025, selling 46,236 tickets across both nights. This success is part of his ongoing 'Hope on the Stage' world tour, which began with shows in Seoul and will continue across Asia, potentially reaching an audience of 500,000. The tour showcases his debut album and features a diverse setlist divided into thematic sections. J-Hope's triumph follows a period of individual projects for BTS members during their group hiatus for military service. Fans and media alike celebrated this achievement, marking a significant moment in K-pop history. His performance has garnered attention not only for its scale but also for his electrifying stage presence, as noted by concert attendees and social media reactions.
