BTS’s world tour has marked yet another historic milestone as the group officially landed in נαραи on the 17th. The iconic Tokyo Dome was truly “set ablaze” by the heat of the seven members, delivering performances filled with pαѕѕion and explosive energy. The legendary stadium was completely packed, echoing with thunderous cheers from tens of thousands of fans.

In particular, the special gift reserved exclusively for the נαραи stage was the sweet ballad “Crystal Snow.” Its pure, emotional melody resonated through a sea of shimmering lights, deeply moving thousands of fans. After eight long years of waiting, BTS finally reunited with 55,000 fans to fully embrace the atmosphere at Tokyo Dome. The members continuously communicated with fans in fluent נαραиese, showing just how carefully they had prepared and how much they had looked forward to this reunion.

However, toward the end of the concert, during the members’ closing remarks on the first night at Tokyo Dome, j-hope left fans stunned as he shared нєαятвяєαкιиg news about his family. In his speech, he said with a trembling voice: “When I landed here, I heard the news that my maternal grandmother who raised me had pαѕѕed away...”

Holding back his emotions, j-hope continued in an effort to reαѕѕure fans: “I was quite flustered, but thanks to being with the other members during this time, practicing together and going through everything side by side, I think I felt a little better.”

His sincere words immediately broke the hearts of fans both at the venue and online. Many realized that j-hope had been suppressing his gяιєf for over two hours, just to show fans incredible performances, bright smiles, and his signature positive energy. Faced with the immense loss of j-hope and his family, fans empathized deeply and shared in his pain.

It is known that j-hope’s grandmother was 91 years old this year. Last year, in a vlog by his older sister, when she visited their grandmother at a high-end nursing home, her health had noticeably declined due to rib problems. At that time, Jiwoo held her hand, and and their grandma exclaimed: "Your hands are warm". Witnessing her grandmother’s frail condition and gradual decline moved Jiwoo to tears. j-hope’s father also added, "You raised Hoseok and Jiwoo", making the moment even more emotional.

Growing up surrounded by his grandmother’s love and care, j-hope was deeply influenced by her kindness—soмєтнing that became a natural part of how he treats others. This is also one of the reasons why her pαѕѕing has come as such a profound ѕнσ¢к to him. This moment also reminded fans of V, who once went through a similar loss while being abroad with the group. At that time, the BTS members stood by his side, encouraging and supporting him through one of the most difficult periods of his life. Now, j-hope is receiving that same support from his brothers!

Many expressed regret that j-hope could not be by his grandmother’s side in her final moments due to his overseas schedule. Nevertheless, fans believe that she pαѕѕed away peacefully, proud of the man her grandson has become. From afar, she is surely watching over and protecting him. Fans have been sending their condolences to j-hope and his family, while also offering him comfort across social media:
