J-Hope of K-pop megastar band BTS will bring his solo world tour to a close with an encore concert in Korea, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the group's debut.

BigHit Music, BTS' agency, announced Wednesday that the rapper is set to hold the "HOPE ON THE STAGE FINAL" two-day concert on June 13 and 14 at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province.

The show marks the final stop of his solo world tour, which began on Feb. 28 at the KSPO Dome in Seoul's Songpa District. Over the course of the tour, J-Hope has performed 31 shows in 15 cities, including Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City, Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok, Saitama and Osaka.

As the concert falls on June 13, BTS' debut date, J-Hope aims to present a meaningful stage for the group's official fandom, ARMY, his agency said.

"We're preparing the show to vividly capture J-Hope's signature energy and immersive performances," BigHit Music said in a press release.

Ticket sales will begin Monday with a presale for official fan club members, followed by general sales on Tuesday. Fans unable to attend in person will be able to stream the concert online.

Meanwhile, BTS is expected to reunite next month. The oldest member, Jin, was discharged from the military in June 2024, followed by J-Hope in October. The remaining members — Suga, RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook — are all scheduled to complete their service in June.

Specific plans for the group's full-unit activities have yet to be announced.
