[BTS] j-hope Tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' in SEOUL #D2 [Live Stream]

音色

[Update: 2025/3/2] I've created a playlist for previewing and reviewing, so I've added it below the setlist.

My instincts are screaming at me to take notes.

The Seoul concert, which marks the beginning of Hobi's solo tour, is finally on its second day. Having Hobi concerts back-to-back is just too much fun 💜

I wrote an article on the first day, so I was determined to cheer him on with all my might today, but the moment I thought Hobi was going to speak, I was already hitting the keyboard.
I want to record the words of my bias that would otherwise vanish if left alone, and preserve them for the world. That is the instinct of a data-driven otaku, so I suppose you could call it an inevitable spinal reflex.

So, since I'm at it, I'll summarize what I've noted down!
Please read the first day's article for details. I'll just post the setlist here. Sorry for the energy-saving article.

Impressions

Hobi at the Seoul concert is basically wearing a tank top + a jacket.
The tank top is dangerous. First of all, it's form-fitting, so even a newcomer like me can tell that his body has become much sturdier than before his military service. It's just too reliable...!

On top of that, the skin showing between the jacket and his chest is just too piercing.
Speaking of Hobi, while not as much as Jin, he usually has a modest image (often wearing high necks or jumpsuits that don't show skin), but now it's being released in large quantities with a casualness that makes me think, 'Oh, it's showing?'
I guess Hobi has also become an adult who is no longer protected...!

From Hobi's Instagram

Today is incredible. It's hot, isn't it!
Let me greet you. Thank you for coming to 'Hope on the Stage'. I am BTS's J-HOPE.

I love these cheers lol. Please scream one more time. Make Some Noise!
Standing section! You're enjoying it today, right, standing section!
I believe in you. 1st floor! The cheers are amazing, 1st floor! You're enjoying it, right?
Even though you're so far away, the cheers are amazing. It looks like the 2nd floor is going to set the tone for today lol.
Once more, scream!!

Now, it's the second day of the concert.
Oh right, to the ARMYs watching online, I chatted a lot before coming on, but I'm watching you. You're watching properly, right? I love you.
Please enjoy!

There are some of you who came yesterday, and some who came today. So, I'd like to briefly explain why it's called 'Hope on the Stage'.

There's no special meaning, it's just as it is. I named it 'Hope on the Stage' to mean that J-HOPE will showcase various things on stage.
If you watch the VCR (video), you'll understand, but there are various emotions, and I wanted to express them on stage. I think it will be a very high-energy concert.

Ah, I'm covered in sweat.
(Screams erupt as he wipes sweat with a towel)

Looking at you today, I'm getting excited. So I'd like to continue the stage right away. Everyone, what do you want to see?
You want to see something, and you want more of something, right? I think you're looking forward to the upcoming stages.
More... One More? OK, Let's Go. → 'MORE'

Hobi

'Seoul! Will you walk with me? Let's Go.' followed by 'On the Street'.

Oh, it's not a yellow ribbon today, it's a brown bandana. It's cute like a dog with floppy ears (*´艸｀)
Thank you for the daily changes; you really know the psychology of fans who love playing spot-the-difference...!

Right is the first day, left is the second day

At this rate, I wonder if he'll have a different look ready for tomorrow too. As expected of a fashionista. His white microphone is shining, and seeing those chunky camel-colored boots makes me think of Jungkook lol.
I wish he would take photos of every styling and include a catalog when he releases the disc!

@xdebbsxx's post

You did well! Everyone is very good. Please do it one more time!
(An encore of 'i wonder...' a cappella)
Love you.

Everyone, let me introduce the stage I just performed.
'i wonder...' has a bit of a chill vibe even when you listen to it after some time has passed.
I sometimes feel a bit embarrassed when I look back, but for this song, I kind of layered the things I like, and I put in a lot of various emotions towards the people I love and the things I like, so I think I made a beautiful, good song myself.

What I just performed is a song I worked hard to make before joining the army. Like 'lock / unlock' or 'i don't know'.
I'm very moved to be able to perform them coolly on the second day of the concert too. How was it? Was it good? (Cheers)
If you all enjoyed it, that's enough for me.

(Showing his outfit) The look is different from yesterday, right? Which one do you like better, yesterday's or today's? (Cheers)
So you like both lol.
Okay, let's go to the next song. We have to keep this pace up. We danced, so let's dance again. Just Dance! → 'Trivia 起 : Just Dance'

Hobi

VCR segment.
The analysis team has already found so many things, it's fun to watch lol
There's nothing better than the puzzles our bias provides for us to solve!

The shock of seeing the angel who descended to earth grow up into an adult

Thanks to practicing a lot beforehand, I now know the meaning of 'Sweet Dreams'. With such a gentle, angelic face, performing such a mature serenade...!! (Fainting)

By the way, after translating this, I... I can't stop my heart from racing...
As of now, Hobi is leading the race on the stairs to adulthood (*ﾉωﾉ)
No, I know he's been an adult for a long time already!! (Endlessly shaken)

From '[Hobi New Song] 'Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel)' Summary [J-HOPE]'

This is, well, it's more embarrassing than I thought to play a track that hasn't been released yet.
The song I just played is the first... no, that's not it, it's a brand new, fresh-out-of-the-oven song. A new song!
That was 'Sweet Dreams'. How was it? Please be honest.

It makes me very nervous to let you all hear a new song. It was the same yesterday, but this moment is the most nerve-wracking. I think it's because I spent so much time preparing it since being discharged from the military. I hope you like it.

Since it's a new song, I'll introduce it briefly. It's my heart for you all.
I think this is a love song where J-HOPE really gave it his all. There weren't as many as I thought, so I... I wondered if I had ever done a love song properly.
I thought it was necessary at this time, and not just some simple love... although love is a universal emotion in the world, I thought it was necessary right now.
I worried every time about what kind of love song J-HOPE should convey, and this song was born.

A wonderful artist named Miguel participated in this song. He is an artist that the dancers and trainees watching this video have learned from (as a role model). It is a true honor to be able to collaborate with someone I admired in the past.

I've talked a lot, but I have to show you on stage. It's my concert, so I have to do as I please.
This new song will be released on 3/7, so please support it a lot!

Now, I've introduced the new song, so I'm going to run for real from here on. I'm not joking. You all should prepare yourselves too. I'm going to run for real. I'll try to go until I'm crazy. For that, I need our ARMY's power, not Hobi's power, but ARMY's power.

Scream! Now, you're ready, right?
The next song I'll present is... not a new song, but I'd like to slowly look back at J-HOPE's old songs from far, far away. You might be surprised that such a song is coming out. Let's go! -> '1 Verse'

Hobi

I love how Hobi gets all flustered and doesn't know what to say when it comes to his new song lol

By the way, he said 'It's my concert, so I have to do as I please' on both the first and second days, so I feel like Hobi had it in his notes of things he wanted to say.
(Maybe he didn't mention it on the third day. I think he might have been surprised by the ARMYs' phone lights and forgot lol)

I read various impressions from the first day about there being no safety devices on the high lift, the stage shaking during the dance, and yet Hobi's dance not wavering at all, so I'm watching with a pounding heart. I don't have enough eyes to watch the multi-view...!

By the way, the multi-view is set up like this, and if you click ①②③, the selected screen expands to the main size.
However, it becomes a single view at that time, so you can't see the other screens. When you return to the original split screen, ①②③ return to mini size. It's kind of convenient, but also slightly inconvenient...

In the end, I just end up staring at the main screen

During 'Airplane', one of his shoulders was exposed, and I gasped. Thank you for not fixing it until the song was over!! Was this Jimin-ssi's guidance!?

And, my favorite 'Airplane Pt.2'!
It feels so good to sing along as if I'm doing a duet with Hobi. It's the best. Hobi looks so happy with the roaring cheers, it's great!!

'Shout-up, ARMY. BTS Let's GO' he said...!!
'MIC Drop' is the best. I really love how Bangtan carries the group's reputation on their own without fear.

With the flames rising and the venue's tension exploding, doing 'Baepsae' with a tongue-flick is just lethal.
The 2025 version of the pelvic dance seems to have driven not only ARMYs but even the cameraman crazy, and at the moment of the hit, the camera zoomed in too much, resulting in an unexpected blunder where only his upper body was shown on the main monitor. I understand the feeling, but write an apology letter!! ( ﾟДﾟ)Stupid

Hobi asking for a 'Byeong' call and response during 'Dis-ease' lol
It's super funny thinking it's 'Byeong (Disease)?' 'Aniya (No way!)' www

Hobi taking off his in-ear monitor to hear our voices during 'Outro: Ego'. I'll have it perfected by the Japan concert...!
But he really has stamina. It's amazing for a draining song that people say is either 'Outro: Ego' or 'IDOL' in the second half (a lie)!

At the beginning of 'Daydream', he must have missed his landing spot, so he was slowly adjusting his position while lying on his back on the bed, which was cute www

I love CNS, where the maknae line dances their hearts out in my head every time 💜
He's teasing the crowd more, saying, 'What? I can't hear you! Louder! More, more!!'—as expected of the second day. The evolution never stops!
What's going to happen by the time he comes to Japan!?

On the first day, I was so overwhelmed with 'Welcome back!' feelings, but on the second day, I feel like I have the breathing room to enjoy the stage... or maybe not (*ﾉωﾉ)
That cute idol drinking water while shaking his butt is such a scene-stealer lol

ARMY, you guys are the best. Seriously, you are the best.
I was wondering what could be better than 'the best,' but I don't know. The only word I can say to you all is 'the best.' I want to add some slang before it. (Translator's note: Probably something like Fxxkin')

ARMY, are you having fun?
Standing! 1st floor! 2nd floor! Oh, you're hot. 1st floor again! Standing! You guys are the best lol

Well everyone, it's hard to believe, but we are down to the last song.
It might sound formal to you, but I want to have a meaningful talk with you.
Ah, it's so strange. It was the same on the first day, but it's so moving to be able to enjoy the second day's concert with you and create this time together.
And everyone, do you know what's important? It's that we can do this tomorrow too. Tomorrow too! It's moving!

I laughed earlier, but during 'Airplane,' I saw a junior from the military. I was really surprised. Mr. XX, why are you here!? I was so surprised I couldn't even focus during the performance lol
And he didn't even come as a guest; he bought the ticket himself? That's just the best. He's really the best junior lol

I guess these things happen when you go to the military. I learned many emotions in the military, and that became a good stimulus even after returning to society... no, I should stop talking off the cuff. Let's stop with the inspiration lol
But being able to hold a concert in front of you all like this is a wonderful experience and it's stimulating.

Today was really too hot.
I said it in the opening, but there was a different kind of pressure than the first day. If I did well at first but failed on the second day... you know what I mean?
That pressure was unexpectedly heavy, but thanks to you all, I was able to overcome it.

Of course, you can't get 100 points on every test. We're human, after all.
Everyone has times when they fail or feel under the weather, but I think we all run toward that 100. Thanks to you all today, I was able to get infinitely close to 100. Really. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I love you more than words can say, and I adore you. Love you!
You can feel my heart, right?
So everyone, please make a heart over your head. That's almost 12,000 hearts. Please send me your hearts!
Haha, I've received so much love lol

Thank you for coming today. Thanks to you all, I was able to finish the performance safely. (Takes off earpiece to listen to the cheers)
Your reactions are truly the best today, everyone.

Just like the name 'Hope on the Stage,' I think the moment I can meet you like this on stage is my happiest moment. You feel the same, right?
I will sing, dance, and rap with all my might to be your hope. You'll keep supporting me, right? ...I feel a bit embarrassed saying that myself lol

Well, it's sad to say goodbye, but this is the last song. Everyone, you can enjoy it to the fullest without any regrets, right? (Yes!)
Then let's dive into our own world!

What I've delivered to you so far is 'Hope on the Stage'... you know what I'm going to say, right? I really wanted to say it at this moment. I talked a bit seriously at the beginning, after all lol
I'm your hope! You are my hope! J-HOPE!!
Thank you! -> 'Hope World'

Hobi

Oh, a plaid flannel shirt today!
He jokingly sang the Star Wars Imperial March, and when the ARMYs joined in, he said, 'You guys will do this kind of stuff with me?'—so cute lol

'What? My outfit today? Is it cute? Do I look like I'm about to be street-snapped? Photo time!
You can style this merch like this,' he's perfect at promoting too lol

The jacket and the cropped hoodie are both lovely, but street-style Hobi feels so natural and fits him so well, I love it!
In the middle, the bandana he had under his cap was tied to his waist, fluttering around. What an effective bit of product placement ( ﾟДﾟ) I want it

'I support the future of everyone who came here today.'
To be supported by my bias like that (*ﾉωﾉ)
Wait, I can't lose. I have to support him with all my might!! I get fired up, but then he keeps interjecting with 'I love you, ARMY' between songs, and I can't stay calm 🤣

Ah, that was so much fun...!
The fact that this fun continues tomorrow, and there's even a delay stream, is the best!!
Sorry to my family, but Mom can't take her eyes or ears off this, so please eat dinner out every weekend. Also, I'm singing along in broken Korean, so please just leave me alone!

[#TodaysBangtan]
ARMY! Today's energy was the best too!
Let's wake up every cell tomorrow too 🤗

From official X

Still, I've never taken minutes as seriously as this, even in company meetings. If I make one typo, I miss a whole phrase, so it's a serious battle lol
I felt the panic when the real-time translator occasionally confirmed a typo, and I felt a huge sense of kinship. Thank you so much, always, oh god...!!
