Filipino ARMY members can now look forward to the Manila stop of Korean artist J-Hope’s debut solo world tour. Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of a BTS member to Philippine soil for the highly anticipated “Hope on the Stage” tour.
The tour kicks off in Seoul later this month before heading to North America. Manila marks the first stop of the Asia leg, with shows scheduled at the Mall of Asia Arena on April 12 and 13. This is the same venue where any BTS member last performed in the Philippines, during the group’s “Wings” tour in 2017.
Fans have six ticket options to choose from:
- General Admission: P4,000
- Upper Box: P8,750
- Lower Box B: P13,500
- Lower Box A: P15,750
- VIP Stage Package: P20,000
- VIP Hope Package: P22,500
Both VIP packages offer exclusive perks, including a floor ticket, access to a soundcheck party, early entry to the show floor and merchandise booth, and special items (laminate, lanyard, gift). The VIP Hope Package also includes an exclusive send-off activity experience.
Ticket sales will occur in three phases:
- ARMY Membership presale on February 19
- Smart presale on February 20
- General public sale starting February 21
To access the ARMY Membership presale, fans must join the global ARMY membership on WeVerse and register by February 7. Once registered, they can purchase tickets using their membership number during the presale.
The tour’s name, “Hope on the Stage,” is inspired by J-Hope’s six-part documentary, Hope On The Street, which explores his origin story and passion for dance as he embarks on a new chapter in his 12-year career.
This announcement follows J-Hope’s recent completion of South Korea’s mandatory military service. As of now, he and BTS’ oldest member, Jin, have finished their enlistment, with the remaining members—Suga, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook—expected to complete theirs later this year. This sets the stage for a major BTS reunion before 2025 ends.
Also to make it more exciting as one member will come back in Manila, J-Hope just followed Tiktok superstar, Niana Guererro. Even DMed her to teach him to do Tiktok challenges. Can’t wait to welcome you here in Manila, Hobi!
