J-hope shares update on BTS FESTA 2025 Pic/X
South Korean boy band BTS member J-hope hopped on Weverse for a live session with the ARMY to convey an addition of two concerts to his Hope on the Stage solo world tour roster. The K-pop idol will perform on June 13 and 14 at Goyang Stadium. Interestingly, it coincides with the band's debut anniversary, making the event all the more special.
BTS music agency BigHit said in a press release, "We're making preparations to make sure that J-Hope's unique explosive energy and immersive performance can be vividly conveyed to the audience."
J-hope said on Weverse, "Most of the members will be discharged by then. I think FESTA will be extremely meaningful this year. It's our debut day. I think on that day I will be emotional. We planned it this way, and after many discussions, we wanted to do this with many ARMYs. Now we'll have a FESTA that has Bangtan in it. Finally! It's a big concert and it's important to me. I'm going to prepare a lot. It is the final, after all!"

While Jin and J-hope have been discharged from the military, other members such as Suga, V, RM, Jimin, and Jungkook will join them in June.
J-hope, who is currently on his solo tour, Hope on the Stage, appeared in an interview with SiriusXM, where he shared his thoughts on the band's reunion after mandatory military service.
He was asked about what he thinks the day BTS reunites as one band after completing their military enlistment, to which the Mona Lisa hitmaker replied, "It'll be hard to believe, as it's been so long. Our last activities were in 2022, so three or four years will have passed by the time we reunite. It seems like the fans are eagerly waiting. I am wondering what the energy will be like once we're back together. What will be different is that we will each have had solo experiences before coming back together as a team. So, I'm looking forward to it."
J-hope is set to bring his solo tour to Thailand on May 10-11, Macau on May 17-18, Taiwan on May 24-25, and Japan on May 31 and June 1.
