It’s official: J-Hope’s Hope On The Stage World Tour has made history. With $84.7 million grossed from 504,000 tickets across 33 shows, it now stands as the highest-grossing tour by a Korean solo act and an Asian native soloist.
J-Hope also broke new ground by becoming the first Asian native soloist to sell out a U.S. stadium, and the first Asian native soloist — and second Asian soloist overall after Bruno Mars — to sell out stadiums on two different continents: BMO Stadium in Los Angeles and Kyocera Dome in Osaka.
