Okay, I'm still on a high from watching J-Hope's stage at Lollapalooza tonight.
That was the perfect set list: all the tracks from Jack in the Box mixed in with my favourites from Hope World ("Blue Side"! "Hangsang"! "Piece of Peace"! "Base Line"!), a couple of his solo songs from BTS albums ("Ego" and "Just Dance"), and ending with "Chicken Noodle Soup" with Becky G (the first live performance they've ever done together!). They say K-pop stars are created, but J-hope was born for this. He has an incredible stage presence and raw performance power that cannot be taught or duplicated. I know he's a perfectionist, but I can't even believe he ever doubted that he could pull this off. This man could do an entire world tour with this set list and each show would undoubtedly be sold out. I'm so glad that Jimin flew out to support him in person and gave him the confidence that he needed. This was the most adorable, pure-hearted, post-concert livestream I've seen yet.
I hope that the whole 19-song (!!!) set list gets officially re-uploaded by BigHit. It would be a real shame if we couldn't re-watch the glory that is J-Hope's first concert as a solo artist.
With that having been said, I hope Weverse fixes its shit. Never mind the terrible lag between the website and the app. With 14.9 million people watching this at the same time, they really needed to make sure the livestream went smoothly without crashing every 5 minutes. They know how many fans BTS has and can guess just by previous statistics how many people would tune in. I appreciate the fact that they livestreamed this for us for free, but that only means that that many more people would be watching. I won't even get into how this new version of Weverse has completely fucked up the ability to watch any paid content on the website or through a computer. You have to use the app or you're shit out of luck. And any of the Weverse Lives so far also don't have subtitles because it doesn't have the ability for anyone to add them. At least J-Hope and Jimin knew this, said "FUCK IT," and went back to V Live.
