 Hybe, the parent company of BTS' label BigHit Music, confirmed the exciting news on Tuesday. J-Hope himself shared the announcement on Instagram, stirring up excitement among his fans.
The tour will kick off in Seoul with three nights of performances, followed by a much-awaited North American leg. The U.S. leg will begin on March 13, with two shows at the Barclays Center in New York. J-Hope will then head to Chicago, Mexico City, San Antonio, and Oakland, wrapping up in Los Angeles at BMO Stadium. This final stop is particularly historic as it will mark the first time a Korean solo artist has headlined a U.S. stadium, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The tour will continue across Asia, with stops in the Philippines and Singapore, among others. Further cities will be announced in due course. While this is J-Hope's first official solo tour, he is no stranger to solo performances. In 2022, he became the first Korean artist to headline the iconic Lollapalooza festival in Chicago.
J-Hope&rsquo;s dedicated fans, known as ARMY, will also have the opportunity to enjoy live-streamed performances from Seoul&rsquo;s leg of the tour, available on Hybe's fan platform, Weverse. It's still unclear whether other stops will be live-streamed.
The "Hope on the Stage" tour is a major milestone for BTS members as they continue with their solo projects following mandatory military service. J-Hope is the second BTS member to return from service after Jin, the eldest member, who returned in June 2024. The group is expected to reunite later this year when all members have completed their service.
Pre-sale tickets for the tour will be available to official ARMY fan club members starting January 22, with general sales beginning the next day, January 23. Ticket details for the Los Angeles show will be announced at a later date, due to ongoing wildfires in the region.

HYBE Chairman has called ADOR CEO a malicious individual in his first ever statement since the controversy began.

HYBE chairman Bang Si-Hyuk calls ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin 'malicious' in first public statement, deets inside

While the controversy has been going around for a while, this is the first time that the HYBE chairman has spoken out against ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. The man behind the boyband BTS, called Hee Jin a malicious individual. 

HYBE Chairman has called ADOR CEO a malicious individual in his first ever statement since the controversy began.

The feud between BTS parent label HYBE and its subsidiary company ADOR has reached court. HYBE chairman Bang Si Hyuk made his first statement amid the ongoing tussle during a court hearing.&nbsp;
<h2>Bang Si-Hyuk's first statement on Min Hee Jin&nbsp;</h2>
While the controversy has been going around for a while, this is the first time that the HYBE chairman has spoken out against ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. The man behind the boyband BTS, called Hee Jin a malicious individual. The HYBE founder said, &ldquo;I understand that some view Min Hee-jin&rsquo;s actions as highlighting the problems of a multilabel system. However, no matter how sophisticated the system is or how thorough the contracts are, nothing can completely deter human malice. The actions of one malicious individual should not be allowed to damage the system that may have been built over a long time. I believe that this is the strength of our social system, which prevents personal malice and wrongdoing from destroying social institutions and order.&rdquo;&nbsp;
<h2>Bang Si Hyuk Vs Min Hee Jin&nbsp;</h2>
This statement comes after Hee Jin filed a case to prevent HYBE from using voting rights at ADOR&rsquo;s upcoming shareholder meeting. HYBE holds 80 per cent shares in ADOR while Min Hee Jin holds around 18 per cent shares. She will likely be removed at the meeting if HYBE exercises its voting rights. In his petition, Bang Si-Hyuk has requested the court to favour HYBE. &nbsp;
<h2>ADOR CEO&rsquo;s fresh allegation against HYBE&nbsp;</h2>
Meanwhile ADOR CEO accused HYBE of requesting advance purchase of NewJeans album to surpass aespa&rsquo;s records. During the hearing, Hee Jin&rsquo;s representative revealed an email by Hee Jin mentioning HYBE&rsquo;s suggestion to beat aespa&rsquo;s first-week sales record. This has led to backlash against HYBE, specially from the aespa fans.&nbsp;
<h2>HYBE Vs ADOR controversy&nbsp;</h2>
For the unversed, it all began when HYBE detected alleged attempts by its subsidiary ADOR&rsquo;s CEO to takeover and gain full independence of the company. This was followed by an audit on ADOR CEO and a counter press conference by her.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Also Watch: <a href="https://www.editorji.com/entertainment-news/korean/song-da-eun-faces-backlash-for-fuelling-dating-rumours-with-bts-jimin-fans-call-her-attention-seeker-1715935314497">Song Da Eun faces backlash for fuelling dating rumours with BTS Jimin, fans call her attention-seeker</a> &nbsp;

Starting with Brave Brothers, who have led the success of many girl groups such as Brown Eyed Girls, After School, Sistar, and AOA, the producers of Brave have added all their efforts to announce the birth of a new girl group with both charm and skills.&rdquo;
Explaining the meaning behind Candy Shop, they wrote, &ldquo;Candy Shop is a compound word of &lsquo;CAtch N Draw Youth&rsquo;, which means &lsquo;Let&rsquo;s catch and draw youth&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Shop&rsquo;, which symbolizes a space that connects members and listeners. The members, who have a variety of charms like tens of thousands of types of candy, show music that represents their generation and contain the aspiration to be reborn as &lsquo;MZ icons.&rsquo;&rdquo;

Aoora says, 'I am thrilled to sing in Hindi for the very first time and present the K-pop version of a beloved Bollywood song like 'Jimmy Jimmy' which happens to be one of my favorites.

Canadian pop star Kris Wu jailed for 13 years in China

Kris Wu has been sentenced to 13 years in jail by a Beijing court after he was found guilty of crimes including rape.

Kris Wu, popular Canadian pop star and former member of K-pop group EXO, has been sentenced to 13 years in jail by a Beijing court after he was found guilty of crimes including rape.
As per the investigation, he allegedly raped three women from November to December 2020. He was also found guilty of the crime of assembling a crowd to engage in sexual promiscuity. The 32-year-old singer was arrested last year after being accused of date-rape by a student. Later, 24 more victims spoke out against him. The court said that he would be deported back to his country, but deportations in China usually take place after the convicts have served their prison term.
Chaoyang district court in Beijing stated that Wu would serve 11 years and six months in jail for raping three women at his home in 2020 'when they were drunk and did not know or not able to resist'. The court added that he'll have to serve an additional one year and 10 months prison term for 'gathering people to commit adultery'.
Du Meizhu, a student, was the first person who accused Kris Wu. She had posted on social media that she had met Mr Wu two years earlier, when she was 17. She later added that she was invited to a party held at his home, she was later pressured to drink alcohol and woke up in his bed the next day.
Mr Wu denied all the claims and allegations, but later on at least 24 more victims accused him of predatory behaviour. The singer has also been fined with a total amount of 600m yuan (&pound;69m) as stated by State news agency Xinhua for making false declarations about his worldwide income.
He has been a member of the K-pop boyband EXO in the 2010 and later became one of China's biggest celebrities after carving a solo career as a singer, actor, model and variety show judge.

If you like BTS, you should try listening to TXT. The 4th gen whimsical group runs under the same label as Bangtan and have shared producers on several tracks. BTS leader and rapper RM has even been credited as a writer on TXT’s I know I love You. You can catch their next performance on NYE at 2022 Weverse Con.
Let me introduce you to NCT! One the the largest K-pop groups in the world, NCT features 23 members as of April 2021, but they do not perform all together. The group is divided into subunits NCT127, NCT U, NCT Dream, and WayV. It may be a bit confusing at the beginning, but once you deep dive into their powerful songs and outstanding videos, you’ll become an NCTzen.
A great girl group to help you move is Twice! TWICE's melodic tunes and mix of different styles make them one of the most addictive South Korean acts to see. With a sound as sparkly as their personalities, the nine queens of the bubblegum style were set for fame from their debut in 2015.
æspa debuted in 2020 and have released experimental pop bangers performed with their AI personas. At the end of 2020, the group released their debut single, "Black Mamba.” Which broke the record for the highest viewed debut video for a K-pop group in 24 hours, a truly impressive feat.
Its not all pop though! It has been said Day6 cannot make a bad song like they physically can't. It's not typical K-pop, but more rock-leaning, and they play their own instruments and compose their own songs!

Let me introduce you to NCT! One the the largest K-pop groups in the world, NCT features 23 members as of April 2021, but they do not perform all together. The group is divided into subunits NCT127, NCT U, NCT Dream, and WayV. It may be a bit confusing at the beginning, but once you deep dive into their powerful songs and outstanding videos, you&rsquo;ll become an NCTzen.
A great girl group to help you move is Twice! TWICE's melodic tunes and mix of different styles make them one of the most addictive South Korean acts to see. With a sound as sparkly as their personalities, the nine queens of the bubblegum style were set for fame from their debut in 2015.
&aelig;spa debuted in 2020 and have released experimental pop bangers performed with their AI personas. At the end of 2020, the group released their debut single, "Black Mamba.&rdquo; Which broke the record&nbsp;for the highest viewed debut video for a K-pop group in 24 hours, a truly impressive feat.
Its not all pop though! It has been said Day6 cannot make a bad song like they physically can't.&nbsp;It's not typical K-pop, but more rock-leaning, and they play their own instruments and compose their own songs!&nbsp;
