BTS members Jin and J-Hope have once again proven their unmatched global star power, selling out solo concerts in different parts of the world at the same time.
First, Jin set another milestone with his first solo dome concert in Osaka, Japan, as a part of his ‘RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR.’ The concert in Osaka took place from July 12 to 13, and the entire venue was filled, including the restricted view sections in the uppermost tiers. Jin’s two-day solo concert amassed 130,000 attendees.
On the other hand, J-Hope also made a triumphant return to the Lollapalooza stage, headlining the music festival in Berlin. J-Hope also sold out 70,000 tickets, taking over the Olympiastadion on July 13.
Korean netizens were impressed with the two idols’ solo concert ticketing power and gathered in a popular online community to share their excitement. They commented:
“Watching their concerts, you can see why ARMYs don’t care about any boy groups besides BTS lol.”
“This is why people freak out every time BTS group comeback rumors start. Makes sense.”
“After watching the solo concerts, now I really can’t wait for BTS’s group comeback next spring.”
“If they do a world tour again, the scale is going to be insane after COVID. Definitely all-stadium.”
“Jin should do an encore concert… Kim Seokjin is insane.”
“They’re not called global stars for no reason.”
“Jin even went live on Weverse four times today. What a sweetheart.”
“That’s amazing.”
“Their stage was really impressive, rare even for groups, let alone solo shows.”
“If they ever do a full group concert at Lolla or Coachella, it’d be legendary. I really want to see that.”
