J-Hope is back in the spotlight and taking Berlin by storm ahead of his much-anticipated performance at Lollapalooza 2025. The BTS member and soloist, known for his dynamic stage presence and down-to-earth personality, arrived in the city early to soak in its vibrant atmosphere—and fans couldn’t be more thrilled. With just a day to go before he takes over the Telekom Main Stage, J-Hope spent his free time sightseeing, and one of his stops was the historic Berlin Wall, a place he had visited seven years ago.
Sporting a casual and effortlessly stylish look—a blue T-shirt, denim jeans, coordinating blue-and-white sneakers, and a cap—J-Hope gave off the perfect “tourist in Berlin” vibe. He was spotted patiently waiting his turn while a woman wrapped up her photo session before he quietly stepped in to pose in front of the wall. The moment, captured on fan videos, quickly circulated online, showcasing his humble and respectful nature. Fans gushed over his thoughtfulness, calling him “cute” and relatable, praising the way he blended into the city like any other traveler despite his global stardom.
The artist later shared photos from the outing on his Instagram story, stirring up waves of nostalgia among ARMY. Fans compared the new snaps to old photos taken during his visit to the same spot seven years ago. The passage of time only highlighted how much J-Hope has grown—not just in terms of fame, but as an artist who continues to stay grounded and connected to his roots.
But J-Hope wasn’t the only one making waves in Berlin. His local fans took it upon themselves to transform the city into a celebration of his presence. Themed cafes popped up across the city, adorned with curated displays of his photos, artwork, floral installations, and heartfelt decorations. BTS and J-Hope’s music echoed throughout these cafes, creating a cozy, fan-powered tribute to the K-pop star. The community-driven efforts touched hearts around the world and further underscored the deep love his international fans have for him.
The excitement is now reaching fever pitch as the countdown begins to his headline act. Slated to perform on July 13 from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM local time, J-Hope will light up the Telekom Main Stage at Lollapalooza Berlin. Dubbed “Hobipalooza” by fans, the performance promises to be a spectacular showcase of his energy, artistry, and charm. For fans who can’t be there in person, the entire event will be livestreamed via the festival’s official YouTube channel, allowing ARMY from all corners of the globe to tune in and cheer him on.
From heartfelt fan gestures to his own moments of quiet reflection, J-Hope’s time in Berlin is shaping up to be unforgettable—for both him and the fans who love him.
