El Imparcial reported on January 10, 2025, that following the tour announcement, social media platforms have been abuzz with fans expressing their excitement and determination to attend the Mexico City show.

Some went to the extent of auctioning their own tickets to other events, including concerts by different artists, to fund their attendance at j-hope's concert. As fans rearranged their schedules and resources to attend, the upcoming performances promise to be monumental events in the K-pop landscape. One fan wrote on X:

"This is BTS IMPACT. JHOPE IS COMING"

"I've seen some of them selling their skz, smtown and aespa tickets, i hope only armys can get tickets for hobi," one fan wrote.

"“Those who had purchased tickets for other K-pop concerts have begun reselling them for lower prices or exchanging them, with the objective of using those funds to attend J-Hope’s concert.” I know that’s right," another fan said.

"It's a hunger game for Latin Army cause Jhope tour with only limited date in 1 country for those whole Latin area," another fan wrote.

One fan emphasized that seemingly everyone is eagerly anticipating BTS' comeback.

"So when we said that EVERYONE ANTICIPATES BTS COMEBACK we really meant that," one fan reacted.

"But these same people would rather be tortured than to admit that BTS is the biggest kpop act ever and they paved the way," another fan said.

"Girl BTS gave these groups two years to make it and now 2025 is here and their fans are reselling the tickets to get money for hobi's tour," one other fan added.
