K-Pop star and member of popular boy band BTS J-Hope will wrap up Chicago’s Lollapalooza by becoming the first South Korean artist to direct a major US music festival, organizers said this week.
J-Hope, 28, who debuted as a member of BTS in 2013 and released his first solo mixtape five years later, will close the four-day festival with a main stage show on July 31, according to Live Nation Entertainment.
J-Hope was announced nearly a month after the seven members of BTS (short for the Korean phrase Bangtan Sonyeondan, or “Bulletproof Boys”) said they would be taking a break to focus on solo projects.
J-Hope, who is a rapper, songwriter and dancer, was the third member to join BTS, aka Bangtan Boys, as a septet apprentice, after RM and Suga.
His 2018 solo debut mixtape “Hope World” peaked at No.
However, his solo career is not comparable to the global success of BTS, the most successful band in South Korea, with over 30 million albums sold and one of the few bands since the Beatles in the 1960s to have four n . less than two years.
