What fans thought of J-Hope’s Lollapalooza performance

With so many people in attendance at Lollapalooza 2022, the crowd for J-Hope’s set was not entirely made up of BTS fans.

On social media, music fans in attendance shared what they thought of the songs J-Hope performed.

“J Hope’s performance was the best thing I saw all weekend. It wasn’t even close,” a Reddit user wrote. “He could rap his a** off (and insert line here that this is a particularly high compliment given that I can’t even understand what he’s saying), he rocked harder than anyone I saw all weekend, he could dance, he’s clearly charismatic and has a deep connection with his fans, the sincere mutual admiration between him and Becky G (also didn’t know who that was!) was really sweet.”

“It was an incredible performance and I was stunned by the crowd interaction. I even found myself headbanging to some of the songs too! It was a great way to end the festival weekend, and I can safely say that ‘I get it,'” a fan wrote on Reddit.

“I actually really enjoyed it! I have heard some BTS songs and always enjoyed them but I never listened to J-Hope’s solo work. It was a great performance that kept my focus. The energy the crowd had, combined with the lights of the crowd and stage, and the city backdrop made for an incredible experience…,” a Reddit user wrote.
