J-Hope, with his rugged dark clothing and wavy mullet-styled hair falling in his face, roars as the audience rises onto Chicago's Lollapalooza stage on July 31. He gazes out into the sea of lightsticks and eager faces of cheers as he approaches him. As J-Hope becomes the first Korean musician to headline a major American music festival, everyone on this planet is here to see history, whether armchair or otherwise. Following a dramatic intro track, he shifts to "More," rapping the lyrics intensely as if he were in the studio for the first time. On a screen behind the platform reading, red letters had flashed: "Hope gave people the strength to continue living amidst the agony and strife." Time seemed to have frozed for an hour, and a rush of pure adrenaline filled the air.
