J-Hope of the group BTS grants a performance of the new song 'Sweet Dreams' on the popular NBC talk show 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'

On the 11th (local time), according to BTS's agency Big Hit Music, J-Hope marked the opening of the show. As host Jimmy Fallon started dancing, J-Hope emerged from behind the curtain, and the venue was filled with audience cheers. He then sang passionately alongside American R&B singer Miguel, who featured on 'Sweet Dreams.'

Jimmy Fallon asked J-Hope about his new song 'Sweet Dreams,' his current status since his return, and his first North American tour 'Hope on the Stage.' J-Hope said, 'The ARMY (fanbase) always inspires me,' and noted, 'I always feel grateful, and that's how this sweet love song 'Sweet Dreams' came to be.'

He added, 'When I write songs or work on various things, I pay attention to my movements' and noted, 'When I listen to music, something comes to mind, and I think about how to express it on stage.' Regarding Miguel, who featured on 'Sweet Dreams,' he said, 'He was an artist I've respected since I was young,' and added, 'I really wanted to meet him and work together.'

Regarding his first solo North American tour, he introduced it simply as 'Hope on the Stage.' J-Hope said, 'I'm ready, and are you all ready?' and expressed, 'I want to have a good time together.' He also mentioned his experience as a headliner at the large music festival 'Lollapalooza' held in Chicago, U.S., in 2022, saying, 'I was worried whether there would be many people who liked me, as it was a festival.'

He said, 'Many ARMY members came to the venue, which was a great strength,' adding, 'The successful conclusion of Lollapalooza led into my solo tour, 'Hope on the Stage,' and it created good energy and synergy.' J-Hope, who kicked off the world tour on the 28th of last month at KOSPDOME in Songpa District, Seoul, will visit Brooklyn (March 13-14), Chicago (17-18), Mexico City (22-23), San Antonio (26-27), and Oakland (31-April 1) in the U.S.
