BTS JHope Hope On The Stage 2025 Announcement Sparks Fan Outrage Over HYBE’s Communication
BTS member J-Hope’s upcoming solo concert series “HOPE ON THE STAGE” has generated excitement among fans, but also significant frustration directed at HYBE Labels over their handling of the announcement and ticketing process.
Concert Details Leak Before Official Announcement
On January 9, 2025, ticket information for J-Hope’s “HOPE ON THE STAGE” tour was briefly visible on ticketing websites before being quickly removed. The leaked details revealed:
- Seoul concert dates: February 28 to March 2, 2025 at KSPO Dome
- Ticket sales opening: January 16, 2025 at 8 PM KST
- Additional U.S. tour dates in cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago
However, HYBE has yet to officially confirm these details, leaving fans confused and frustrated.
KFans Criticize HYBE’s Late Communication
ARMYs have expressed anger over HYBE’s perceived lack of transparency and timely communication:
- Ticketing sites had information before any official announcement from HYBE
- Membership pre-registration is scheduled to start on January 10, giving fans very little time to prepare
- The short notice for potential concert dates in late February leaves international fans scrambling to make travel arrangements
As J-Hope’s first major solo tour following his military service, expectations are high for “HOPE ON THE STAGE.” While excitement builds for his return to the stage, the controversy surrounding the announcement has overshadowed some of the initial joy among his dedicated fans.

“The day everyone agreed to announce: Today People who worked hard: Ticketmaster, Interpark People who forgot to announce: BigHit
I vote for this hypothesis…”

“At this point, everyone except the company is talking about J-Hope’s tour. What is the agency doing? Why haven’t they made an announcement yet?”
@hopemind1038: “For Jack in the Box, there was no physical CD and no sales window on the official site. For his birthday photo book, they didn’t announce until the day of sale, causing chaos. For Hope on the Street, they put up a banner two months before release, then took it down a month before, leading fans to boycott. We thought things would be different after his discharge, but now they’re not announcing the concert.”

“Honestly, this isn’t just about HYBE being incompetent. They sometimes do things well, surprisingly. They even promoted their game really well. But when it comes to our boy, they always mess up… or don’t do anything at all. It feels so malicious now, like they’re trying to gaslight us. This company is more than capable of doing better…”

“Is it true that there’s still no proper announcement when the pre-sale verification is tomorrow and the pre-sale is next Tuesday? Why do they always handle our boy’s affairs like this? Please treat the artist properly. Why do we have to check for announcements on Interpark Ticket instead of Weverse or X? @bts_bighit”
“Hoseok, you should leave the company too. I can’t take this anymore.”
