HOBIPALOOZA!! | My First Time REACTION To Hobi @ Lollapalooza

I took a big leap in my baby army journey today! We finally watched Hobipalooza!

SHOOKETH to my CORE is an understatement because there are no words to describe how I felt while watching this performance and even still, hours later.

I am so impressed with Hobi's ability to keep such a massive crowd engaged BY HIMSELF and also sing/rap/dance without missing a beat or losing the stability in his vocals. Every song he performed was a BANGER and I was treated to being exposed to so many new songs that i cannot wait to dive into and explore further.

Oh what I would give to travel back in time to see this performance live, it must have been truly life changing.

 I'm so proud of Hobi, it still feel surreal that we have him back with us and I can't wait to follow him anywhere he goes!

Did anyone here go to Hobipalooza and was this the largest crowd any member of BTS has managed solo because DAMN, this was insane!

Up for this

ORUOT72 @ladybangtan

One of the things I'll always be able to take with me till the end of my life. I got to be there to support hobi at his first solo performance. I am soooo proud of him!! What an amazing night

Breanne

HOBIPALOOZA WAS LEGENDARY 🔥🔥 One of the best performances I've ever seen fr. He doesn't need crazy props or a breakdance to killed it! I mean, of course he and BTS use props and has choreos in a lot of songs but what I mean is that they can literally just be there sitting or standing up just singing and they still manage to keep everyone entertained with their performance and hype up the audience a lot. Hoseok is amazing! his energy and stage presence here was INSANE and the crowd was living their best life too. 💜 He made history and broke records with this, his first solo debut performance 🔥 (He's the FIRST South Korean artist to headline a major U.S. music festival and he's THE HIGHEST ticket seller in Lollapalooza HISTORY!) What an historic debut! Over 100,000 people attending, almost 15M live viewers on Weverse and 4M US viewers on Hulu👀 I've watched Hobipalooza at least 73 times and I'm not even joking! I've even watched it a couple of time through fancams too just to feel the experience lmao😭 If he goes on tour I d1e omg

Banshee Purple

Bad luck that the only song you heard from his 2018 hopeworld mixtape, Airplane, is the one song off of it that he didn't perform hahaha. This was his first EVER solo show, so his first time performing not just the Jack in the Box songs, but also the ones from his mixtape too. And he was also the first bts member to do a solo show at the beginning of 'chapter 2'! He was sooooo stressed in the lead up to it he wasn't sleeping and lost like 11 lbs or something like that :( Which honestly makes the stamina it must have taken to get through this even more impressive! Definitely recommend you watch the livestream he and jimin did right after this because it was so cute and they talk about how stressed he was and what a huge help jimin showing up to support him was. Some info about the song Just Dance - it's not related to the game lol. It was his solo from bts's love yourself answer album - and the first part of a trilogy of songs by the rappers that tells the story of a relationship from the beginning to its end. It goes: Just Dace (j-hope) > Love (RM) > Seesaw (Suga). When he said it's been three years since he performed just dance, that's because he only ever performed it during the love yourself/speak yourself tour with bts - which ended in 2019.

When you find out later on that Jimin was there this whole time and in the crowd watching.!

Jay18

Lollapalooza and D-day are my comfort shows, when i need to cheer up or i miss them all and need some comfort i go to watch those performances

seni

I rewatch Hobipalooza at least every two weeks and get my whole life. Glad you reacted to it. J-Hope really is a legend for this.

Betty Ba

Jimin was there standing up on the balcony up on the left side supporting Hobi during the entire show. I loved this concert so much, I can't count how many times I've watched it! You need to react to a couple of Hobi's songs now. My favorite songs from the performance were Daydream from Hope World, and Outro: Ego from my Map of The Soul: 7. You should also react to the behind the scenes for this concert.

Chrissy

Hobi swears the most in BTS. The members said it before

Betty Ba

Not sure if you noticed but wanted to point it out bc you mentioned The Giving Tree, he is sitting on a tree stump during Safety Zone and the screens behind him are tree branches! 🥹 Also A and B sides are terms from the olden days of record singles, where the big title track was on the front (side A) and they would include another lesser-promoted song on the other side when you flipped it over (B side). So nowadays when we say A side we’re referring to a promoted single or title track, and B side refers to the other non-single songs on the album 🤓

steph

My sister plays Blue side everyday 😩😩 Jhope is her bias

Ana

hmm if its like it was in theaters, I suggest watching it first. the documentary didn't include the Q&A he did with armys or his speech or the surprise guest in the audience, just the performances from it.

Kimberly Rodriguez

i second to this!

nabi jung

Hey Peachy, now that you've reacted to Hobipalooza, I suggest that you watch the vlive right after his performance. Jimin is in the live with him and it's such a heartwarming video to watch of them two because you see just how much it meant to Hobi that his brother came all the way from Korea to the United States for him, to support him and be with his Hobi. It's a really comforting and heartwarming video to watch if you ever feeling that vibe. :) Heres the link of the video on youtube: https://youtu.be/-yre1b7EXGc?si=ZOLk8RYoi_zQ13kE There is also a behind the scenes of Hobi's performance: https://youtu.be/Wmm_UJPf_Zo?si=0O3K_DHLubzqI66K

Mayra

Mom of the year award goes to you!! that is so incredible!

Peachy Saiyan

I haven't heard of her but I'll check her out because that is so amazing! also, that makes sense why he looked so happy dancing with everyone now!! i love!

Peachy Saiyan

His golden showcase right?! I want to but I heard it will be in the docu series that is releasing on disney plus soon so idk if i should wait or not!

Peachy Saiyan

I was lucky enough to have seen this live with my ojitos! It was amazing!

Adri M

Hobi left an impression on Chicago that night. The next day a restaurant was blasting Hangsang into the streets

Eternal-1926

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

Eternal-1926

Definitely one of my top 3 Hobi songs 🥰💜. My heart sank when he didn’t perform the full version

Eternal-1926

What a great Mom you are!!! I'm glad she enjoyed it!

Luna75

This is why he is my ult bias! I had so many emotions when I watched it live streamed on Hulu. Hobi in early part of his career, received so much hate and people truly tried to say he was ugly and had NO talent. That is very hard to see. If I would have been in the fandom then I would have also fought tooth and nail for him or any of the members in BTS. Hobi rose from that and proved that he was amazing and more. He can sing, dance, rap, dress and look good; I mean he is an ace. And as years passed he just shines brighter, plus this man is FIIINNNEEEEE! I really enjoyed your reaction. My favs are Piece of Peace and Equal Sign and I loved the trio of Baseline, Cypher Pt 1, and Hangsang. He really really paved the way with Lollapalooza. This is where we first met J. Cole 🥰

Luna75

Don’t cry please 🥹💜💜🥺

Maria Jeon

Please react to the documentary

Maria Jeon

Finally !!!!!!

Maria Jeon

ALSO, Jimin was there on the side of the stage. If you watch the behind-the-scenes of this, you can see them together! And damn, Jimin was SO freaking proud! You should also watch the Weverse Live they did right after the performance (P.S. BTS ALWAYS goes live after a concert or performance!). It was so emotional, and J-Hope talked about how it was for him and the struggles he faced. Jimin was truly his light when he came to Chicago for him. I don’t want to spoil too much, but please, just watch it! It’s worth it! 😭🙏💜 Link: https://weverse.io/bts/live/3-104695886

Peachyyyy Here’s a breakdown for different tracks/titles with examples using BTS’s Map of the Soul: 7 as the reference: 1. Main Track (Title Track): The main track is the centerpiece of the album and the primary song used for promotions. It typically has a music video and is performed on shows or stages. Example: ON This was the title track for Map of the Soul: 7. It had an official MV, a kinetic manifesto film, and extensive stage promotions. 2. Pre-Release Track: A pre-release track is a song released before the album drops to build anticipation. It may or may not be the title track. Example: Black Swan This track was released about a month before the full album to generate buzz. It showcased BTS’s artistic side and hinted at the album’s deeper themes. 3. Follow-Up Track: A follow-up track is promoted after the title track, often as a second focus to keep the album relevant for a longer time. Example: We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal Though it wasn’t promoted heavily, the emotional MV released later acted as a follow-up, connecting fans to the overarching story. 4. B-Sides: B-sides are the other tracks on the album that aren’t the main focus of promotion. They often highlight different themes or sounds. Examples from Map of the Soul: 7: - Louder Than Bombs (emotional and atmospheric) - UGH! (hard-hitting rapline track) - Inner Child (Taehyung’s solo track full of self-reflection) 5. Solo or Sub-Unit Tracks: These showcase individual members or smaller groups within the band. Examples: - My Time (Jungkook’s solo) - Moon (Jin’s solo) - Friends (V and Jimin duet) How It All Fits Together: - Pre-Release: Black Swan sets the stage. - Title Track: ON dominates the promotions. - Follow-Up: We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal continues the story. - B-Sides: Fill in the emotional and thematic depth of the album. This structure keeps the album dynamic, appeals to a wide audience, and ensures lasting engagement!

Blue Side is THAT song, girl. Initially, he released it as an outro on his debut mixtape, Hope World, on March 2, 2018. At the time, he wasn’t 100% satisfied with it because he was rushed to finish it. Then, for the third anniversary of Hope World, on March 1, 2021, he dropped it again as a full, extended version—and HOLY SHIT, that song is on another level(jinnnn ah sry). It’s so deep, like an essential part of the "Hobi Lore". It hits so hard. Truly a masterpiece. AHHH! Just thinking about how meaningful it is to ARMYs(ME) makes my heart burst. It's one of those songs that feels timeless, emotional, and so intricately tied to who he is as an artist. idkkk sghwgertzh45e 🥺💜💙

justjennyi

Hobi truly belongs on stage, he has charisma like I’ve never seen. He’s such a professional and knows how to pace himself for performances💜

Chanique

people already recommended the documentary and jmin live but I also love the bangtan bomb of the listening party Hobi hosted for the album! The members just looked so proud and it was an environment we usually don’t see them in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDM027J_gM0&ab_channel=BANGTANTV

Erika Smith

If you get the chance to watch the documentary (Jhope in the Box) about his Jack In The Box album and this performance, you’ll see just how hard he worked and how much stress he went through. It’s so inspiring and emotional. It’s similar to Suga’s Road to D-Day documentary, which was honestly life-changing, so I think you’ll understand what I mean. We definitely need to watch all the BTS and solo documentaries at some point—they give such a deep and personal insight into their creative processes and struggles. It’s incredible to see their dedication and how much they put into everything they do. Hehe, let’s make it happen! 😭💜

justjennyi

Now you have to react to his docu “J-Hope in the box” on Disney + to see how Hobipalloza came to be!!!

Alana Moore

his stage presence is INSANE. the best i’ve ever seen in kpop & i’m saying that from an unbiased pov. never seen anyone like him in kpop.

luna

he KILLED THIS. mind you, he pulled the biggest crowd in palooza HISTORY with 100k+ individuals. only a BTS member can do that. the impact is insane

luna

YESSSSSS AHHH OMG I WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSSS

luna

you NEED to watch the live he did with jimin after the show!!!

Hobi with long hair 😮💕 I forgot how good he looked

Dream

I recommend you watch the live he did with Jimin after. He worked so hard

Temi M

Hobi devoured Chicago!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I can’t get enough of this performance. 😆 Looking forward to your reaction to his latest album… such a vibe!!

MinWii

I didn't get to go to Hobipalooza, but I had read that there was over 100,000 ARMY'S that came to support J-hope 💜 I swear this man has my whole heart!

Meredith Hait

I recommend you watch also Jungkook and Namjoon's showcase you will also love it 🥹🥹

Crizzah Camille Bobadilla

notice that when he was singing Hangsang, and everytime the line “with my boys” he looks up to his upper right…it’s because Jimin is there watching. Hobi is such a performer his stage presence is insane!

Jae Oli

Girl you need to react to jungkooks showcase too

Jose

I feel like JHope is the member woth the most growth and range and an allrounder

eka wardani

Gurl you need to see jhope documenter.... So goood

eka wardani

Yay! I’ve watched this so many times and never get tired of it. He did amazing!! This was his first ever solo show and I’m so proud of him! Also, you discovered “enjoy bts more”! She’s a swedish army (I think her name’s Britta?) who is doing an amazing job accurately captioning BTS performances. Sadly someone reported her channel a while ago and got it taken down, I’m really happy she’s back. There are heaps more subtitled full concerts on her very cheap patreon page too - I think the lyrics add so much emotion to everything, especially if you’re not familiar with the songs already. Hobi worked with those dancers a few times already! The woman in pink is called Sienna, she’s an amazing, young, talented choreographer and the leader of the dance crew. Hobi first met Sienna when they were working on chicken noodle soup together, and then she was called to choreograph ON (a song you haven’t heard yet), and featured in the music video with her dance crew. They also performed with BTS on the permission to dance concerts and obviously here for lollapalooza.

CC

And he was worried there wouldn't be very many ARMY there. Silly goose. Thank you for reacting! Blue Side is one of my favorites. No MV but there's lyric videos out there

Celeste J

I couldn’t go, but I sent my teenage daughter (the OG ARMY in our family) with my friend. They flew from Maine to Chicago just to see our Hobi, and it was worth every penny! They were four rows back, at the right side of the stage and saw him really well. It’s a memory she will cherish forever!

Phyllis St. Pierre

hi peachy! you can also react to the bangtan bomb episode of this performance :) its literally his preparations for the whole show and theres a behind the scene when he met jcole backstage https://youtu.be/Wmm_UJPf_Zo?si=U4oPBPL3EjwT1jIo

nabi jung

I'm so happy you finally got around to this! There is actually a Jhope in the box movie. It's somewhat similar to what Yoongi did with D-Day. To see this man work, his focus...just incredible. But yeah, after the show he did a Vlive at his hotel. Its a short Vlive cus he was starving. Here's the link https://weverse.io/bts/live/3-104695886 or you can see it on youtube https://youtu.be/-yre1b7EXGc?si=KIL8vS2d46VAGnsi

Eternal-1926

I’m so proud of Hobi 🥺 he killed this! 🔥

Diane

iconic. legendary 🔥🔥

outrolars

Omg you finally watched this!!!!! He just slayed that stage alone like the king that he is! I remember I was so excited watching this live like everything was so new to us 😭 he worked so hard for it I’m so proud of him. You might’ve noticed that he lost a lot of weight here 🥺 You need to watch his Weverse live he did right after this performance with jimin!! Here is the link : https://weverse.io/bts/live/3-104695886

MYGloml

Yes Peachy you heard right. The crowd was chanting Go Hobi! And Lollapalooza was where Hobi met JCole for the first time! He was so excited since JCole was such an inspiration to him. Jimin came to support Hobi and they did a live together right after the show that you should watch when you get a chance. It really shows their love for each other and I know you love seeing the members dynamics with each other. Our Bangtan Family!! This was so much fun watching with you 💜

Partofthe90%

So glad you did this, I really really hope you get to watch J-Hope in The Box next on Disney plus :') it's a must watch, my personal fave BTS documentary so far. and also maybe the live with J-Hope and Jimin after too :D

Kimberly Rodriguez

Aw I’m glad you enjoyed Hobipolooza Peachy! I realised that if you got emotional during this that when you finally watch Yoongis D-Day concert the final day 3, you’re gonna be distraught 😂 I’m glad you listened to Jack in the box before watching, and hopefully you’ll react to Yoongis 3 albums before watching his concert, it’s essential to understand the themes and his emotions. Also realised that you don’t know the meme behind ‘Yoongi marry me’ 😭 also as mentioned by others in numerous comments b-sides are just non title tracks on the album. ‘Blue side’ is a b-sick and the outro song however Hobi put the song out as a full length song after the album because it was so loved and it’s my favourite song of his!! You should check out the BTS episode of the behind the scenes of hobipolooza and also the live he did with Jimin right after, he prepared so much, I’m glad he had Jimin for support! 💜

Tammila

The songs you didn’t hear are from his first mixtape called Hope World. Besides Trivia: Just Dance. That was on BTS’ album, LY Answer. He is a true performer for real. One of best stages I’ve ever seen hands down. I’m glad ARMY came THROUGH for him that day. 💜 From our point of view, Jimin was up on a balcony to the left. That’s why sometimes hobi would look up or point at him. I’ve seen so many fan cams of that day just to get a glimpse of him 😂 baby always supporting his brothers. 💜💜 That day was when he officially met J-Cole. You should see how starstruck he was meeting him. Jimin was there as well when they met him.

OPEN NA NOOR!

I second this. I once in awhile go back to watch AYS but they’re not organized in collections 😭🫠 please peachy! 🫶🏽

OPEN NA NOOR!

aaaaaaaahhhhhh my luv my life hobiiiiiiiiiii finallyyyy after this, i wish u could react to their bang bang con concert ><

ChocolateMoistCake

YAAAAAAS HOBIPALOOZAAA

nabi jung

OMG AAAAHH ITS HOBIPALOOZA TIME!!

Naomi Aïsha Niang

hey peachy can you plz tag the videos so its easy to search like if its a performace vid, album reaction, or in the soop or bon voyage - its a bit difficult to navigate your patreon without the tags for videos

Shreya

A really good video to watch. Jhope and Jimin did a live after. Because Jimin came to support. There's clips of them throughout the festival going to other artists stages. But this is just the live and Jhope tells us his thoughts on performing alone https://youtu.be/-yre1b7EXGc?si=DRKsZSeWQrFpKfzw

Ana

Jhope is the ace of K-pop and I stand on it. This man and his performance abilities. His aura. The energy. The stage presence is just too much. Truly a star😩😩😩😩

Ana

I'm so glad you got to the album and the Hobi concert reaction. I am so behind on videos right now. I went to go watch my nephew's Basketball game after work and i am finally getting to the videos. I just finished watching BV. I am going to watch the other 2 videos from this morning and than come back to this. I am so excited to watch this.
