BTS' j-hope releases chart-topping single Mona Lisa and marks grand return with HOPE ON THE STAGE

Before its official release, BTS' j-hope's Mona Lisa was previewed during his HOPE ON THE STAGE concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. During the performance, the idol shared with the audience that Mona Lisa was his way of expressing love for ARMY.

The track was produced by Blake Slatkin, Cashmere Cat, and Misogi and arrived with a music video on release day. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's iconic painting, the track carries a deeper message beyond visual beauty.

According to BIGHIT Music, the song highlights the uniqueness that makes each individual special rather than just outward appearance. The label described it as a heartfelt tribute to beauty in all forms.

On April 1, 2025, Mona Lisa debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 65. The track also secured impressive positions on other charts, including No. 14 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales Chart. This makes Mona Lisa his second No. 1 hit of the year, following Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel).

Additionally, the song ranked No. 69 on the Canadian Hot 100, No. 9 on Japan’s Digital Singles chart, and No. 8 on both Japan’s Download Songs chart and New Zealand’s Hot Singles chart. In Singapore, it reached No. 22 on the RIAS chart. Furthermore, the track secured No. 84 on South Korea’s Circle chart and No. 56 on the UK Singles chart.

In addition to Mona Lisa, j-hope released another single in 2025, Sweet Dreams featuring Grammy-winning artist Miguel, on March 7.

Following his military discharge, BTS' j-hope has officially returned to the public eye with his first solo world tour, HOPE ON THE STAGE. The tour kicked off with a three-night concert series at Seoul’s KSPO Dome, beginning on February 28, 2025.

After wrapping up in Seoul, BTS' j-hope will head to North America, performing at major venues such as Barclays Center in New York, Allstate Arena in Chicago, and BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
