BTS’ Jung Hoseok, famously known as J-Hope, left fans in awe during his “HOPE ON THE STAGE” concert in Mexico City, despite struggling with health concerns. The electrifying performances took place over two nights at the Palacio de los Deportes, one of the largest venues in the city, where J-Hope showcased his signature powerful dance moves, captivating stage presence, and soulful vocals.
During a heartfelt moment on stage, J-Hope opened up about the health scare he faced just before the Mexico concert. Addressing the crowd, he admitted, “To be honest, I wasn’t feeling well before the Mexico concert. My fever went up to almost 39.5°C, and I was in really bad condition, but I’m totally fine now!”
He went on to share how he sought medical help in Mexico. “But I had to recover to be able to perform don’t I, so I looked for a Korean hospital thinking there wouldn’t be one, but there was! I met a really good doctor, recovered, and was able to perform like this,” he said, as translated by JlNSONYEONDAN (fan page).
