BTS' J-Hope delivers powerful performance in Mexico despite health scare

BTS' J-Hope captivated fans during his "HOPE ON THE STAGE" concert in Mexico City, leaving the crowd in awe despite battling health issues before the show. The electrifying performances were held at the iconic Palacio de los Deportes, one of Mexico's largest venues, where J-Hope showcased his signature dance moves, stage presence, and soulful vocals over two nights.

In a heartfelt moment, J-Hope shared with fans the health scare he experienced before the concert. "To be honest, I wasn’t feeling well before the Mexico concert.

The artist also shared how he sought medical help in Mexico, revealing, "I had to recover to be able to perform, so I searched 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," as translated by fan page JlNSONYEONDAN.

One fan tweeted, "He’s so cute (after consistently wrecking us all on tour) Take care of your health, Hobi!" Another wrote, "J-Hope performing as if nothing is wrong with his health.
