Neither the midsummer heat nor the monsoon rain could hide the pαѕѕion of j-hope and ARMYs. j-hope held the closing concert of his first solo tour, 'j-hope Tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' FINAL', at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex on the 13th and 14th.
A total of 54,000 fans gathered at the two-day concert and pαѕѕionately bonded with the BTS rapper. The concert was even more meaningful as it began on June 13, the 11th anniversary of BTS' debut.
In particular, the stage for the new song 'Killin' It Girl (collaboration with GloRilla)' was also performed for the first time in these two concerts and received a warm response.
The powerful hip-hop beat, the ѕєχy and daring performance, and the duet choreography with the dancers proved j-hope's new charm. He laughed and said, "This song is a stage to show my ѕєχiness."
And true to his statement, the mature j-hope's "ѕєχiness" was further demonstrated when he suddenly unzipped his jacket, revealing his abs and chest. ARMYs watching live were extremely surprised and screamed at the top of their lungs while fans on social media made him go viral with this moment.
However, contrary to the excitement of many, some negative comments also appeared after this explosive performance of the BTS superstar. On one post, he was accused of using contouring to create the appearance of his abs in the video and teaser for "Killin' It Girl (featuring Glorilla)" when in reality, he did not reach that level.
More vicious comments have emerged, including body and appearance shaming: "leave shirtless performance to good looking idols", "Someone tell him he doesn't look hot", "you can tell they overcontoured and photoshopped тнє нєℓℓ out of his "abs" here im ∂єα∂hsjs", "If I'm scared, you are too", "Here are some K** videos to help you clear your eyes",...
In the face of the wave of negativity directed at j-hope, ARMYs have come forward to defend their idol. One fan not only provided evidence to refute the accusations of fake abs, but also complimented his overall appearance, saying: "Guys go to school plss....like atleast learn how shadows and light works, it is not that hard and also learn about how human skin and muscles stretches and shrinks during movement specially heavy movement like dancing, jumping etc...It is not that hard trust me..."
While other fans offered their opinions:
- To the people coming for hate comments. You know what whenever I come across your favs related post I just skip don't even bother to comment just say you're jealous
- What a Banger. What a Performer. That's Jay for you all , That's Jhope
- Dyammn this is how real artists with amazing stage presence looks on stage. he looks so hot while guving powerful performance
- His stage presence is insane. I guess the people who criticized him drooled when they saw him in real life
- Just because your idol can't take off his shirt on stage because he's too flop, you're jealous of him, poor thing
- He didn't take off his shirt for people like you, he did it for us. You're nothing
- Remember, he just got discharged from the army. His body, strength, and charisma are not soмєтнing you can judge
- They fail for the millionth time to pull him anyway, but you can immediately see the beauty and harmony of his body — it instantly tells you it’s a dancer’s body.
Despite the negative news, j-hope's solo tour, which began at the KSPO DOME in Seoul last February, has proven to be a strong connection between him and his global fans. By performing a total of 33 times in 16 cities around the world, j-hope has attracted a total of 524,000 au∂ιєnces.
