BTS member j-hope has officially announced his first solo world tour, HOPE ON THE STAGE, set to commence in early 2025. The tour will span 31 shows across multiple countries over three months, igniting excitement and concern among the BTS ARMY regarding the demanding schedule.
While the announcement of j-hope's solo endeavors has been met with enthusiasm, the BTS ARMY expressed concerns regarding the artist's well-being due to the rigorous schedule. They noted that carrying out 31 shows within 3 months in several countries would put a strain on j-hope.

"That is a lot of shows! We saw how thin he got preparing just for one stage at Hobipalooza, and how much energy he ALWAYS gives on stage. He definitely needs to pace himself."
As fans eagerly anticipated these performances, the overarching sentiment underscored a collective hope for the artist's health and well-being throughout his demanding schedule. Fans reacted to the news on X.
"I remember Yoongi. He went through so much during his tour. He was bed ridden strapped in IV,no voice then the next day his all out on stage then bed ridden again.. that f*cking cycle.. crazy," one fan wrote.
"Wishing him and the tour team the best health and energy for the rigorous touring!" another fan said.
"We are praying for his good health and happiness. We know he is a perfectionist, and we hope that all event management does their job properly and does not fuck up, which will put a lot of stress on Hobi." one other fan added.
Several fans also highlighted how much the BTS rapper loved performing on stage and wished him the best.
"Ik, the whole time people have been talking about hobi tour potential I've been worried about him running himself into the ground like he did before Lolla. Thankfully that was the beginning of chap 2 and more experienced + post MS Hoseok I think will regulate better." one fan wrote.
"I remember how he seemed in the behind the scenes of Hobipalooza, hope this time it will be less stressful physically and mentally," another fan remarked.
"This!!! I know he misses the stage after a long absence, and I know he'll shine the brightest, but let's hope he keeps healthy during his whole tour," one other fan added.
