July 31, Expect of bts made history as the first Korean headliner of Lollapalooza. Their set list was full of hits from start to finish, but their performance of “Dynamite” was a bit more special for ARMY.
J-Hope performed the Tropical Remix of “Dynamite” and even introduced new choreography for the song. Wonderful moves are a hit not only with ARMY but also with their co-member. jiminwho was clapping from the sidelines throughout the set!
🐥 have you seen dynamite? I think we need to change our dance. Why is dancing so cool? If you have something like that, you should have told us!
🐿 I should have confirmed it for the members.
🐥 changed the choreography without even telling us. it’s logic— 윤서⁷ (@btsinthemoment) August 1, 2022

But there was something else about this performance that touched the hearts of fans. J-Hope did not fill in during the other members’ games; instead, he let the crowd sing along and only sang during his designated lines according to the recorded version.
For many ARMYs, this gesture felt like he was bringing a part of BTS on stage with him, even though he might have had the moment to himself.
Crying over how Hobi let the other members’ voices shine through during the dynamite. He could have easily sung/rapped on his parts but he stayed dancing, he brought BTS with him on stage 😭 pic.twitter.com/JiwaLS9Tnk

In fact, after the show, he did a live broadcast and said he would have loved to perform this song with Jimin. But it was difficult to learn the new dance at the last moment, so they had to give up on the idea.
🐿️ If I had known Jimin was coming, I would have asked you to do Dynamite with me!
🐥 That hyung! But the dance was changed and everything! I wouldn’t have drunk then!— christa⁷ (@ryuminating) August 1, 2022
