On June 13, 2025, J-Hope (제이홉) of BTS (방탄소년단) held a spectacular concert at the Goyang Sports Complex in Ilsan, marking the first day of his world tour encore concert titled 'HOPE ON THE STAGE FINAL.' The event, which took place over two days, attracted an audience of 54,000 fans, showcasing J-Hope's immense popularity.

Beginning his solo world tour in February at the KSPO DOME in Seoul, J-Hope performed 31 shows across 15 cities in North America and Asia, connecting with approximately 470,000 fans. The tickets for the Goyang concert sold out instantly, further proving his star power. The encore concert is themed around five concepts: 'Ambition' (야망), 'Dream' (꿈), 'Expectation' (기대), 'Fantasy' (상상), and 'Wish' (소원), allowing J-Hope to reflect on his musical journey.

The concert kicked off with the track 'What if...' from his solo album 'Jack In The Box.' Following this, he energized the crowd with performances of 'Pandora's Box,' 'Arson' (방화), 'STOP' (세상에 나쁜 사람은 없다), and 'MORE,' all while fans chanted his name.

J-Hope expressed his excitement, stating, "Today feels special. It's finally the final concert. I can't believe it. After three months of touring since late February, we have reached this final performance. Even with a bit of rain, I think the show will be even more fun. Let's enjoy ourselves safely!" He also shared his gratitude for the fans' support and hinted at more to come in the future.

During the 'Dream' segment, he performed songs from his special album 'HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1,' including 'on the street,' 'lock / unlock,' 'i don’t know,' and 'i wonder….' A surprise guest appearance by Jungkook (정국), who recently completed his military service, thrilled the audience. Jungkook expressed his longing for the fans and praised J-Hope's performance.

J-Hope also debuted his new single 'Killin’ It Girl' during the 'Expectation' section, which was released earlier that day. He described the song as a showcase of his sexy side and encouraged fans to enjoy it. The concert featured a medley of BTS songs, including 'MIC DROP,' 'Intro: Just Dance,' and 'Outro: Ego,' celebrating their debut anniversary.

As the concert neared its end, J-Hope thanked the audience for their support despite the rainy weather and revealed that other BTS members were present. V (뷔), RM (알엠), Jimin (지민), and Suga (슈가), who is currently serving in alternative military duty, appeared on the screen, sending love to the fans.

The encore concluded with J-Hope performing 'Hope World,' followed by a surprise appearance from Jin (진), who performed 'Don’t Say You Love Me.' Jungkook joined them for a special performance of 'Jamais Vu,' creating a nostalgic moment for fans. J-Hope wrapped up the first day of the final concert with powerful performances of '=(equal sign),' 'Future,' and 'NEURON.'
