In addition, the local fandom that J-Hope met through the North and Central American tour that included the Mexican capital Mexico City was tallied at 178,000.

Forbes, an American economic magazine, praised J-Hope’s tour, saying, “It was a masterpiece. He radiated joy and passion on stage as if he had been waiting for this moment his whole life. Despite the intense choreography and continuous live performances, J-Hope’s energy never wavered or diminished.”
The LA TIMES said, “J-Hope shows himself growing stronger and stronger with each new city he performs in,” and added that his “diverse vocals that naturally cross the line between rapping and singing” are his “killing points” that make him shine even more.
