J-Hope Scores At The Box Office, Earning A Top 10 Movie — After One Night
J-Hope's Hope on the Stage live viewing earns $4.1 million globally, breaking into the U.S. box ... More office top 10 for the May 30 to June 1 weekend. PARIS, FRANCE - JANUARY 20: J-Hope of BTS is seen outside Dior, during the Paris Fashion Week - Menswear Fall Winter 2023 2024 : Day Four on January 20, 2023 in Paris, France. (Photo by) J-Hope has spent 2025 releasing solo smash after solo smash, with only short breaks in between his drops. He has scored several new Hot 100 hits in just the past few months, and he has a new tune coming soon — one that will likely become a charting success as well. The BTS singer and rapper hasn't limited himself to streaming platforms and digital download storefronts when looking for commercial success. The South Korean musician recently appeared in cinemas around the world with a one-night-only event — one that helped him secure one of the top theatrical wins at the box office. The BTS superstar recently released his film J-Hope Tour: 'Hope on the Stage' in Japan - Live Viewing. The one-night-only event brought fans of the singer-songwriter and rapper together in theaters around the globe to watch live as he performed from Osaka during one of the final dates of his solo trek, the Hope on the Stage Tour. Despite the fact that the live viewing took place during just one evening, it still managed to bring in an impressive sum at the box office and stand out as a top performer. According to Box Office Mojo, J-Hope's film earned just under $940,000 at the box office in the U.S. alone. That figure is enough for the movie to land at No. 10 on the list of the highest-grossing films in America during the weekend of May 30 through June 1. When looking globally, the live viewing brought in just over $4.1 million. More than three-quarters of that figure coming from territories outside the U.S. J-Hope claims the third loftiest debut on the ranking of the top-grossing films in America during that weekend. He lands behind new arrivals Karate Kid: Legends and Bring Her Back, which brought in $20.3 million and $7 million, respectively. The weekend's grosses were still dominated by the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, which led the charge for a second consecutive frame with nearly $62 million. The last installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise holds steady at No. 2 with $27.2 million. A top-grossing film is just another feather in J-Hope's cap, proving that 2025 is a huge year for him. He has already accrued three Hot 100 hits, upping his career total considerably with "LV Bag" alongside Don Toliver, Speedy, and Pharrell Williams, "Sweet Dreams" with Miguel and his own "Mona Lisa" — all of which spent time on the tally. Later in June, he will drop "Killing It Girl" featuring rapper GloRilla, which will almost certainly become a hit across a variety of Billboard rankings, especially those focused on hip-hop.

J Hope gears up to drop exciting new single featuring Glorilla
BTS star J Hope is back, and he's bringing something fresh and fiery for his fans worldwide. On 13 June, J Hope will release his latest solo single, Killin' It Girl . This will be a dynamic collaboration with American rapper Glorilla. Known for his electrifying stage presence and impressive rap skills, J Hope has been steadily carving out a remarkable solo career. His recent releases, like Sweet Dreams and Mona Lisa, have already made waves internationally. Sweet Dreams reached number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100, while 'Mona Lisa' also charted.

The lyrics are honest and refreshing, painting a picture of infatuation with a confident, irresistible person according to Daily Music Scroll. The production is minimalistic but packed with high-energy bars, promising a musical experience that's both catchy and powerful. J Hope said, 'This track is about that electric feeling when you meet someone who just captivates you. I wanted to bring that excitement to life with Glorilla's incredible energy.' Glorilla, the Memphis MC, adds her signature boldness and smooth hooks, making the collaboration a perfect match. In addition to the collaboration, JHope will release a solo version titled Killin' It Girl (Solo Version). This gives fans a chance to enjoy his artistry in a more intimate setting, highlighting his skills as a rapper and performer. Since completing his mandatory military service in South Korea, J Hope has been eager to reconnect with BTS and their global fanbase. However, he is also focused on expanding his solo career. His collaborations with American artists like Miguel and now Glorilla show his ambition to blend different musical styles and reach diverse audiences. Miguel, who featured on Sweet Dreams , praised J Hope, saying, 'He brings a soulful vibe that feels deeply personal. It's a joy to work with him.' This cross-cultural exchange is exciting for South African fans who appreciate both K-pop and hip-hop genres. J Hope is currently on his Hope on the Stage tour, which will conclude in Seoul with performances on 13 and 14 June, the same day as the new single's release.

J-Hope's Album Spikes 1,700% In Sales
J-Hope's Hope on the Street Vol. 1 returns to several Billboard charts after a vinyl re-release, ... More jumping 1,771% in sales and debuts on one. PARIS, FRANCE - JANUARY 20: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) J-Hope from BTS attends the Dior Homme Menswear Fall-Winter 2023-2024 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on January 20, 2023 in Paris, France. (Photo by Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images) J-Hope spent the first few months of 2025 releasing a handful of solo tunes, but he has been relatively quiet in recent weeks. That silence has ended, as the BTS star returns to multiple Billboard rankings this frame. He's not back with a just-dropped cut, or even a new full-length, but with an EP that has become a bestselling title yet again. Hope on the Street Vol. 1 reappears on a trio of Billboard-published lists this frame. J-Hope's EP, which dropped a little more than a year ago, becomes a bestseller once more after being re-released on vinyl, which thousands of fans purchased once the music became available on the format. Luminate reports that in the past tracking frame, Hope on the Street Vol. 1 project sold another 4,300 copies. That sum is up considerably from the previous period, when it didn't quite manage 250 sales. From one frame to the next, thanks almost entirely to the vinyl drop, J-Hope's project soared by 1,771% in pure purchases. Hope on the Street Vol. 1 debuts on the Vinyl Albums chart, Billboard's look at the top-selling titles on that one format. It's the only ranking where the EP arrives, versus returns, and it starts at No. 6. J-Hope collects just his second solo career placement on the list. He scored his first with Jack in the Box in 2023, when the album climbed to No. 4. The EP also brings J-Hope back to the World Albums and Top Album Sales charts. Hope on the Street Vol. 1 reenters the world tally at No. 4 and the all-style, all-language ranking of the top-selling projects in the country at No. 17. Previously, Hope on the Street Vol. 1 led the charge on the World Albums list, but missed becoming a No. 1 on the Top Album Sales roster by just a single space. Hope on the Street Vol. 1 features half a dozen tracks by J-Hope, including collaborations with artists like Benny Blanco, Nile Rodgers, and his BTS bandmate Jung Kook. The EP peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and produced several minor commercial hits. Earlier this year, J-Hope scored a trio of Hot 100 wins as 'LV Bag' with Don Toliver, Speedy and Pharrell Williams, 'Sweet Dreams' with Miguel, and his solo tune 'Mona Lisa' all managed to spend at least one frame on the competitive ranking.

BTS' J-Hope makes it to the cover of Billboard magazine
21 May - BTS' J-Hope recently became the first South Korean male solo artiste to grace the front cover of the Billboard magazine since PSY. On 20 May, Billboard posted the cover, which has the singer sitting by the window overlooking a city, and the words "J-Hope: From BTS to Solo Stadium Stardom" written as the cover lines. "With his groundbreaking solo tour and new singles, [J-Hope] is forging a deeper connection with fans, expanding his own path beyond BTS and looking toward even bigger milestones ahead," the caption read. A sneak peek into the interview had J-Hope speaking about his music, saying, "I believe my music should evolve as I grow. Before my enlistment, I leaned into my roots in dance, experimenting with a variety of sounds to express different facets of myself," he says. "This is just the start - I have plenty more musical experiments in store." It is noted that BTS themselves have made the cover twice, in the special 2018 edition as well as the August 2021 edition. J-Hope is currently on his solo tour "Hope on the Stage" that has begun back in February in Seoul. PSY became the first male solo artiste from South Korea to grace the cover, back when his song "Gangnam Style" became a hit in 2021. (Photo Source: Billboard IG)

‘I pulled it off': J-Hope makes Billboard cover history as first male K-pop solo star, celebrates world tour milestone
SEOUL, May 21 — BTS member J-Hope has become the first male K-pop solo artist to appear on the cover of Billboard magazine, featured in its May issue. The publication described J-Hope as a standout figure in the group, highlighting his "magnetic stage presence and captivating dance moves" that contributed to BTS' global success. 'Just as I drew inspiration from the artists I admired growing up, shaping my own music through their influence, I'd be honored if my work could inspire others and pass on that same positive energy — that would mean the world to me,' J-Hope said in the cover story. In April, he reportedly became the first South Korean male solo artist to hold a stadium concert in the United States, which formed part of his debut solo world tour. 'This time, I was on my own, and honestly, I wondered if I could handle that immense energy and pressure by myself. But I pulled it off and that means a lot to me — it's a milestone I'll always cherish,' he said. J-Hope's latest single Mona Lisa debuted at No. 65 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March, and he is scheduled to perform in Taipei this weekend as his tour continues.
