"Solo tour is no joke fr"- Fans worry as BTS' j-hope reveals he had a high fever before 'HOPE ON THE STAGE Mexican concert

On March 23, 2025, BTS' j-hope performed the second night of his HOPE ON THE STAGE concert in Mexico City at Palacio de los Deportes. While the crowd’s cheers were overwhelming, the idol took a moment to talk about his health. j-hope shared that before the concert, he had suffered from a high fever of nearly 39.5°C and was in bad shape.

However, he reassured fans that he had found a Korean doctor in Mexico, received treatment, and was now feeling fine. As translated by an X user, @mhereonlyforbts, j-hope said,

"before the concert I was very sick. my fever was upto 39°. I feel good now though thankfully! At the time, to be here, I had to recover, so I went to a hospital for support. And the truth is, I have this energy with that doctor. I honestly didn't mean to say this. For me, he's the savior. Thanks to him, I feel better. I'm finishing this date. So invited him at the concert."

As soon as fans heard about his condition, social media was flooded with concern. Many pointed out that his solo tour schedule is extremely demanding. Notably, the idol has nearly 30 shows in three months. An X user, @jkyoongs wrote,

"hobi saying he just had a 39.5 fever before the concerts and now he keeps coughing on live oh man i hope he gets to rest a lot before the next stops and recover fully :( a solo tour is no joke fr."

Fans worried about whether he was pushing himself too hard since his performances are filled with high-energy songs and intense choreography. They sent messages of support and reminded him to take care of his health and rest whenever possible.

"Them getting sick on tour is such a worry, especially these solo tours when everything relies on one. .Good health, Hobi!!" a fan commented.

"Praying for you to complete your tour in good health & amazing condition . Thank You for all your hard work Hobi," an X user commented.

Some even thanked the doctor concerned for treating him right away and making him feel good enough to perform.

"Thank God for his doctor . I hope he continues to recover and stay healthy," another person wrote.
