May 9 (UPI) -- South Korean singer and rapper J-Hope is bringing the finale of his Hope on the Stage tour to theaters May 31.

J-Hope, 31, a member of popular K-pop boy band BTS, is now touring Asia on his Hope on the Stage solo tour after performing in Seoul and North America.

'Hope on the Stage' in Japan: Live Viewing will broadcast live from Osaka, Japan, to theaters around the world. Tickets are available now.
