BTS member J-Hope is busier than ever! As he gears up for his highly awaited return to Lollapalooza next weekend, the star is also set to perform with veteran K-pop icon PSY at his yearly summer concert series. Fans have reported seeing the ARSON singer practicing at the venue for PSY’s SUMMER SWAG 2025 event, capturing moments of him performing his hit song “Ego” at Uijeongbu General Stadium.
In a series of candid photos taken from outside the venue, J-Hope can be seen energetically singing along to his track “Outro: Ego” from his 2020 album, *Map of the Soul: 7*. The song reflects on his passion and the challenges his team faced on their journey to the top. Dressed comfortably in a black shirt over a white tee and red track pants, he was seen passionately rapping along.
Anticipation is building as J-Hope is expected to perform one of his three post-military singles: “Sweet Dreams,” “MONA LISA,” or “Killin’ It Girl,” alongside “Outro: Ego.”
The weekend concerts on June 28 and 29 featured special guests like BLACKPINK’s Rosé, who performed her global hit “APT,” and BIGBANG’s G-Dragon. As J-Hope joins an impressive lineup for the second weekend, PSY’s SUMMER SWAG promises to deliver an unforgettable experience.
Previously, SUGA wowed the audience with his performance of “That That,” showcasing his and PSY’s collaboration. His pre-military appearance was nothing short of spectacular, garnering a strong reaction from attendees. PSY has always shown immense support for BTS, especially for the Haegeum singer, who recently weathered controversy.
