The band isn’t back together just yet.
At the time of publication, BTS is still on hiatus while a few of the seven members complete their mandatory South Korean military service.
Still, that hasn’t stopped J-Hope — who wrapped his duties in October — from announcing his ‘Hope On The Stage World Tour,’ which includes ten U.S. shows.
To kick off the North American run, the 30-year-old will drop into Brooklyn for two nights at the Barclays Center on Thursday, March 13 and Friday, March 14.
“Finally!!!” he shared on Instagram.
In addition to the tour, the singer/rapper teased “new music on the way” in a separate Instagram post. Although no release date has been set, he added “2025.03” hinting that he may have some original tracks in the works out in March just in time for the tour.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming U.S. J-Hope shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, Jan. 17.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

J-Hope new music
Prior to his discharge, J-Hope found time to drop his six-song EP “HOPE ON THE STREET VOL. 1” in March 2024 with features from collaborators Jung Kook, Nile Rodgers, Benny Blanco and more.
The brief record is a chill yet polished offering that shows off J-Hope’s affinity for pop and Hip-Hop — the man can sing and spit.
Standout tracks include the laid-back, whistling “on the street,” shimmering, free-flowing “i wonder” and disco-y “lock/unlock.”
Still, J-Hope may have saved the best for last with “NEURON,” a heavenly slice of pop emboldened by smooth and sometimes furious rhymes. It’s sweet, it’s spicy, it’s great.
To hear the 20-minute mini-album for yourself, you can listen to “HOPE ON THE STREET VOL. 1” here.
