BTS member J-Hope and girl group IVE recently crossed paths backstage at Lollapalooza Berlin, creating a K-pop visual moment that fans are calling a “legendary shot.”

On Wednesday, IVE’s official social media account posted a photo with the caption “IVE x j-hope meet at Berlin.” The image shows the two acts posing together behind the scenes at the German music festival. Dressed in their glittering stage outfits, the IVE members radiate charisma, while J-Hope, standing center, exudes effortless senior star power.

J-Hope performed as the headliner of Lollapalooza Berlin on Sunday (local time), closing the main stage with a powerful set. IVE had energized the same stage the previous day with a 55-minute full live band performance of their discography.

As two leading acts representing different generations of K-pop, their joint appearance backstage sparked an enthusiastic response from fans, many calling it a symbolic moment of K-pop’s global dominance.

IVE is set to continue their European tour with a performance at Lollapalooza Paris, scheduled for Sunday at Longchamp Racecourse.
