J-Hope, we bow down to you! The BTS member made history with his intense performance at the Lollapalooza in Chicago on Sunday. The rapper became the first South Korean musician to ever headline a music festival in the US and he ensured that the performance will be remembered for a long, long time! The headliner brought the house down with his performances with an elaborate set list while Jimin watched him set the stage on fire up close.
Hobi’s Lollapalooza set included songs from his newly released solo album Jack in the Box such as MORE, Pandora’s Box, Equal Sign, STOP, Safety Zone, What If, Arson, Music Box, and Future. He also left fans surprised with performances on Baseline, Cypher Pt1, Hangsang, P.O.P., Blue Side, Dynamite (Tropical), Daydream, Ego, Hope World, Just Dance, and Chicken Noodle Soup ft. Becky G. The set list brought out J-Hope, Jung Hoseok, Hobi, and Jay on stage.
While Jung Hoseok was expected to bring fireworks on the stage, it seems like he wasn’t prepared for the ARMYs to surprise him with their love. During a portion of his concert, the rapper was performing Daydream when the ARMYs joined in. Their unexpected reaction moved Hobi and his reaction has gone viral.
The way Hobi got surprised when he heard the loud crowd singing with him. #HOBIPALOOZA #jhopeAtLollapalooza
