A Triumphant Return After Tour and Music Releases
J-Hope’s return to Inkigayo follows the successful conclusion of his Hope on the Stage tour, which kicked off on February 28, 2025. The tour’s grand finale took place in Seoul, coinciding with BTS’s 12th anniversary.
He also recently dropped “Killin’ It Girl” featuring rapper GloRilla on June 13 — the final track in his solo single trilogy, following “Sweet Dreams” and “Mona Lisa.” Blending hip-hop and pop, the song explores the exhilarating moment of falling in love and has earned praise for its upbeat and magical vibe.
J-Hope gave a memorable live performance of the track during the tour finale, with all the BTS members in attendance, fresh off completing their military service. With Suga being the last to be discharged, all seven are now back, fueling anticipation for future group projects.
Fans can expect a dynamic stage when J-Hope brings his newest hit to Inkigayo, making this appearance a must-watch moment for ARMYs worldwide.
