J-Hope (real name Jung Hoseok) of the group BTS has been featured on the front pages of major Japanese sports newspapers.

On April 19, newspapers such as Sports Hochi, Daily Sports, and Nikkan Sports published special editions to commemorate J-Hope's Japanese concert, "j-hope Tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' in JAPAN." This marks the first time that three major daily newspapers in Japan have simultaneously released special editions for a Korean solo artist.

The local dailies focused on J-Hope's Saitama concert, highlighting his activities as a solo artist embarking on a world tour. They also featured J-Hope's greeting ahead of his first solo concert in Japan, as well as his recently released songs "Sweet Dreams" and "MONA LISA."

BigHit Music, his agency, stated, "On the day of J-Hope's sold-out Saitama concert, crowds of fans flocked to nearby convenience stores to purchase newspapers featuring news about him."

Meanwhile, J-Hope began his world tour with a concert in Seoul in February. He attracted approximately 178,000 fans across six North American cities and is currently on his Asia tour. In Japan, he is scheduled to perform at Kyocera Dome Osaka on May 31 and June 1.
