Fans say J-Hope is marketing better than the company.
Koreaboo
AS BTS‘S J-Hope gear for its long -awaited Hope on the stage World tour, fans’ frustrations are increasing almost as much as their excitement while they have returned to Bighit musicThe lack of promotional support.
Although the start date of the tour is less than two weeks later, Armys says that the silence of the agency was severe since the ticket sales notices were released in early January. In the weeks followed, the marketing contents and the tour updates have been practically non -existent.
In fact, according to fans, most of the promotion seems to come from J-Hope himself, who recently created his Tiktok Account.

Marketing efforts on official platforms such as WEVERSE were minimal and fans had to find crucial tour of the tour through local ticketing platforms rather than the official Bighit Music channels.
Hoseok Smart AF. He is maintaining his audience engaged in his content through Tiktok and counting his Bcz concert that we know, the great ACC BIGHIT_MUSIC is dry.

In addition, the ticketing experience further fueled fans’ frustrations. In the middle of the ticket office preparations, for example, US fans discovered that they had to buy separate American subscriptions for access to the presale, despite having already had global subscriptions.
We ask Hybe Treat J-Hope Solo Tour Tour for the same for global and American inscriptions as they have already done for their US tours before.

The Livestreaming plans for the tour, meanwhile, have attracted equally critical. Despite the high premium prices of ₩ 165,000 krw (about $ 114 USD) for a three -day streaming pass, almost equivalent to an offline ticket, the concert will not be broadcast in streaming in 4K resolution.

While the start of the tour is approaching on February 28, Armys’ frustrations have reached a peak, leading many to hit Bighit’s music and Hybe on social media.
Big Hit and Hybe are so mediocre and useless companies. Since Hobi was discharged by the military, he has not stopped working, yet they do not yet give him a recognition a world -class star like him deserves. For years we have noticed the lack of the lack of …

While many are particularly dissatisfied with both companies, however, not all fans have been so harmful. The promotion for J-Hope’s next music, for example, aroused disagreement. Despite some fans who express frustration with which the news of the collaboration of J-Hope Pharrell Williams, Don ToliverAND Fast“LV Bag”, was revealed by Don Toliver himself rather than by Bighit’s music, others feel that the launch is not a good example of mistreatment of the agencies.
Keep in mind before whoever starts with the usual mistreatment of the company/excuse that they occur every 3-5 working days that Hobi is present in this song, which means that BH/Hybe is not responsible for promoting or launching from the project . We only enjoy the new music.

Regardless of this, for the many fans who felt frustrated by Hybe’s efforts, timing is particularly disappointing since the Hope on the stage The tour is one of the first important J-Hope activities following its military discharge in October last year. According to the agency, J-Hope is also ready to make his return as a soloist in March 2025, although little additional information has been shared.
