On Wednesday, June 18, 2025, BTS' j-hope appeared on MBC Idol Radio hosted by Bae Chul-soo, at 7 pm KST. During the interview, he discussed several topics, including his solo career, the return of the BTS members, the group's possible comeback, and many more.

At one point, he also explained the idea behind his HOPE ON THE STAGE World Tour's final concert and added that his fellow group members helped him organize it. Since the finale also fell on the same day as BTS's debut anniversary, June 13, the members suggested that they would also like to perform on stage with j-hope for the occasion.

Therefore, members Jungkook and Jin took to the stage along with j-hope to perform on June 13. The idol added that although not all the members joined the stage, they helped in other ways, such as decorating the stage.

"June 13th is BTS' debut day, so they performed on that day. At that time, the members were the first to willingly say that they wanted to perform on stage with me again, and I was so grateful. We decorated the stage together again, and the other members also came to dinner and held another performance like this. I was so grateful," he stated during the interview.
