J-Hope Brings ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE’ Tour Finale To Cinemas Globally

Continuing a monumental year that cemented his status as a stadium-sized solo superstar in K-pop, J-Hope is sharing the final bow of his world tour with movie theaters around the globe.

The BTS star’s landmark debut solo world tour, Hope on the Stage, will culminate in a live cinema broadcast of its closing night at Osaka’s Kyocera Dome on Saturday, May 31.

In partnership with HYBE and BIGHIT MUSIC, Trafalgar Releasing will host the J-Hope Tour ‘Hope on the Stage’ in JAPAN: Live Viewing across theaters worldwide as the three-month trek wraps with its two Osaka shows. The finale marks a global celebration for a journey that began in February in Seoul and spanned 31 concerts across 15 regions — including a historic headlining show at Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium that made J-Hope the first Korean male soloist to headline a stadium in North America.

The special live broadcast fully displays every era of J-Hope’s evolving artistry. Audiences will experience dynamic segments that focus on his contributions to BTS’ hip-hop legacy, his 2018 Hope World mixtape, J-Hope’s debut studio album Jack in the Box (2022), and last year’s Hope on the Street Vol. 1 EP. The tour also brings to life his latest solo singles, “MONA LISA” and “Sweet Dreams” featuring Miguel, with both songs celebrating inspiration gained after completing his mandatory military enlistment.

Ahead of the Live Viewing announcement, the always-smiley J-Hope recorded a message to fans worldwide about keeping his promise to reach as many of them as possible this year:

“At last, we bring you the J-Hope Tour ‘Hope on the Stage’ in Japan: Live Viewing! Wow. I’ve shared with you before that in 2025 I really want to meet as many ARMY around the world as possible and, for the places I can’t visit, I’ll do my best to make my way there. So, I’m very excited to share this world tour with so many ARMY worldwide through this live viewing! I told you I had it all planned out, didn’t I?! You can check out all the details, including ticket reservations, on the website www.j-hopeliveviewing.com. I hope you all look forward to ‘Hope on the Stage’ in Japan: Live Viewing! I’ll eagerly await the day I can meet ARMY around the world at the theater and keep giving it my all until then. See you soon, everyone.”

Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, added, “We’re delighted to continue our partnership with HYBE and BIGHIT MUSIC to bring j-hope’s electrifying ‘Hope on the Street’ tour to cinemas worldwide. With a global fanbase that embraces the cinematic experience, this Live Viewing event offers a unique opportunity to witness his debut solo world tour on the big screen.”

The three-hour live event serves Trafalgar Releasing’s latest K-pop showcase following last week’s big announcement of ATEEZ’s recent world tour hitting cinemas this May.

J-Hope Tour ‘Hope on the Stage’ in Japan: Live Viewing marks a special moment for J-Hope and BTS fans ahead of the group’s expected reunion later this year when all seven members have completed their mandatory Korean military service this summer. As J-Hope’s first solo outing reaches an exciting close in Osaka, he fulfills his promise to bring the stage to fans everywhere in the latest exemplification of the power of BTS’ ARMY and K-pop event cinema.
