BTS‘s J-Hope recently released a trailer for “HOPE ON THE STAGE,” his upcoming tour.
The trailer depicts J-Hope driving and carrying a smaller version of himself inside a box.
The cinematic trailer is littered with small symbols that only the most observant fans will catch!
For example, his military enlistment date of April 18, 2023 is written on a poster in the background.
Additionally, J-Hope can be seen in a room with a fish (representing “Daydream” as it appeared in the music video), an airplane (representing “Airplane”), and a hat he wore for concept photos of Jack In The Box.



A pill seemingly appears on the side of the screen, much like the pills he took during WINGS Short Film #6 MAMA.


“Chungjang-dong Geumnam-street” is written, an important place in J-Hope’s development as an artist that he even mentioned in the lyrics of “Chicken Noodle Soup.”

There are even more symbols in the following scene: The key from “More,” a lighter that says “Arson,” lyrics and a red string from “Neuron,” and a Snickers bar from his WINGS Short Film.



But that’s not all! There are even more possible interpretations: J-Hope driving a car may remind you of the “EGO” music video.

While all of the symbols may be up for interpretation, there is one thing we know for sure: J-Hope’s creative vision is unmatched!
Can you spot any more hidden symbols? (Hint: Don’t forget to look at the clock!) Check out the full trailer below.
