On the 22nd and 23rd (local time), j-hope held his solo world tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. The venue, which can accommodate up to 20,000 people, saw j-hope's performances sell out on both days, including seats with restricted views.
During the performance on the 23rd, j-hope revealed, "Before the show, my fever spiked to nearly 39.5 degrees Celsius, and I was in poor condition. However, I knew I had to recover somehow for the performance. I found a Korean hospital and met a great doctor who helped me recover, allowing me to perform."
Fans in the audience responded with sympathetic gasps and loud applause. As the news spread, social media platforms like X were flooded with reactions such as, "39.5 degrees is too high to even move, it's a relief he recovered," and "It's amazing he went on stage right after emergency treatment. We wouldn't have known if he hadn't mentioned it."
Immediately after the concert, j-hope went live on the fan community platform Weverse, saying, "I was so overwhelmed that I went live right away. It's been so long since I've been to Mexico, and perhaps because of the longing, it turned out to be the best performance. I'm leaving with wonderful memories," expressing his gratitude to the fans.
j-hope is set to continue his tour in the United States, with performances scheduled for March 31st and April 1st in San Antonio, and April 6th and 7th in Los Angeles.
