'BTS' J-Hope set the night in Berlin ablaze. J-Hope took the main stage at 'Lollapalooza Berlin' at Olympiastadion in Berlin at 3 AM on the 14th. He performed a total of 21 songs over 90 minutes, drawing an audience of about 60,000 people to beautifully conclude the festival.
The venue was bustling with a crowd from early in the morning, with fans gathering from all over the world. The audience called out J-Hope's name and BTS's names even before the performance started, warming up the atmosphere by shouting, "J-Hope, we wanna party!"
"Welcome to Hobi Palooza Round 2 with J-Hope." J-Hope made his entrance on stage via a lift, starting the performance with 'What If…' and 'Pandora's Box.' He raised the excitement, asking, "Are you ready to go crazy tonight? Then let's go," enjoying the festival with ease.
With explosive vocal power, he sang 'On the Street' and 'Rock/Unlock.' In 'Killing It Girl,' he commanded the stage with a sexy and precise performance. Throughout 'Mona Lisa,' the audience sang along loudly from start to finish.
The audience cheered passionately throughout the performance, singing along and roaring with excitement. As darkness fell, the ARMY bombs (light sticks) shone even brighter, creating a wave of purple light filling the entire venue.
There was also a surprise event organized by the ARMY (fan name) that day. As 'Sweet Dreams' played, they all raised purple heart slogans in unison. J-Hope ran out onto the protruding stage, providing fan service while connecting closely with the fans.
The highlight of the performance was the BTS medley, where J-Hope prepared 'Mic Drop,' 'Dynamite (Tropical Remix),' and 'Butter (Hater Remix).' A spectacular scene unfolded in the heart of Berlin as a sing-along in Korean echoed through the crowd.
Towards the end of the performance, J-Hope said, “I have had a lot to be thankful for during this world tour this year," adding, "It feels like a truly perfect conclusion to be able to wrap up here with all of you today. Thank you again, and I love you."
Even after the performance ended, the cheers did not stop. Shouts of "I love you" continued, and some fans shed tears of emotion. J-Hope returned to the stage, finishing with an encore featuring '=(Equal Sign),' 'Future,' and 'Neuron.'
This performance was newly arranged to fit a large outdoor stage for J-Hope's solo world tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE.' The lift, a symbol of the tour, was placed on both the main and protruding stages.
Once again, J-Hope made an unforgettable mark as a singular presence. From the start of the stage to the final moment, he flawlessly performed orchestrated songs live, captivating fans worldwide with his powerful performance.
