J-Hope of BTS's 'MONA LISA' has heated up Mexico.
J-Hope uploaded a live performance video of the new song 'MONA LISA' to the team's official YouTube channel on the 24th at 11 p.m. (Korea Standard Time). This video was filmed during his solo tour 'j-hope Tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' in MEXICO CITY' held at the 'Palacio de los Deportes' in Mexico City from the 23rd to the 24th.
As the intro of 'MONA LISA' played in the concert hall, the audience erupted in deafening cheers. Even though only three days had passed since the song's release, the audience sang along with all the lyrics from the very beginning, and J-Hope responded to the intense enthusiasm with perfect singing and choreography without a single mistake.
On this day, the audience filled the venue not only with the new song 'MONA LISA' but also with an incredible sing-along from the opening to the ending stage. J-Hope expressed his thoughts at the end of the performance by saying, 'I was so surprised, and today's stage was created by you all.'
The concert held over two days in Mexico City attracted great interest, recording sold-out seats. The North American tour of J-Hope, which kicked off at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, U.S., on the 14th and 15th, continued with sold-out shows in Brooklyn, Chicago, and Mexico City.
Meanwhile, international media also focused on J-Hope's 'MONA LISA.' The American music publication Consequence of Sound noted, 'The confident choreography in the music video showcases the various strengths of 'Dancer J-Hope' well,' as they praised his performance.
The global culture media HYPEBEAST introduced J-Hope as a rapper of BTS and a dynamic performer, stating, 'He once again showcased a strong presence with 'MONA LISA.' The song blends hip-hop and R&B elements with a groovy rhythm, funky chords, and J-Hope's unique sensibility, demonstrating his capabilities as an artist.'
Additionally, several overseas media outlets such as Billboard, entertainment media UPROXX, and music magazine Rolling Stone quickly reported on the announcement of J-Hope's 'MONA LISA.'
J-Hope will release the remix album 'MONA LISA (Remixes)' today (25th) at 1 p.m. This album includes three tracks, including the original song, a band remix featuring intense drums and electric guitar, and an Afropop remix showcasing J-Hope's laid-back and seasoned style.
