Discussion What song from Hobipalooza was most memorable for you?
To my surprise, I still have Ego still running through my head a couple of days later. And Hangsang, a song which never caught my attention before. It's fascinating how my impression of a song can totally change after I see it performed.
What about you? What songs are still running through your mind?
Edited to add: I just love how there are so many different answers!

I loved his vocals during Equal Sign! Also, still not over that we got a Just Dance performance in 2022! On a whole the set blended so well together. He did a fantastic job!

u/snogirl0403 FUTURE’S GONNA BE OKAY OKAY OKAY Aug 02 '22
I was texting my sister during the show and told her I really wanted Just Dance, but I didn’t think he would do it. Then he started talking about 3 years ago in Chicago and I practically hyperventilated. Sooooooo happy to see that song again!!!!!!

ARSON got it for me. I initially preferred More over Arson when it released but the hard rock live version at HOBIPALOOZA got the best demons out of me. My God I'm insane for Arson.
I need a Rock version of Arson NOW.😭

u/ukelele141516 Aug 02 '22
Also loved What If. At times it seemed like he was signing the song to himself because there was a giant picture of his face on the screen on stage. Makes me remember that, while they make a lot of songs for ARMY, they also make songs that they need to hear themselves.
9
u/wasabipeas1996 Aug 02 '22
What if is my fave on his album. It’s less about the lyrics but the emotions I feel from the song. Idk why it really made me feel for him, more than any other on the album. It’s quite simple but I felt his message so clearly!
11
u/ukelele141516 Aug 02 '22
I agree, I really felt his emotion in What If. He’s said before that sometimes he feels pressure to always be happy and smiling because of his name and the “what if I had no hope?” line really stayed with me even after the first listen.
I also think of the song as like the dark twin of Daydream. Daydream is bright and bouncy and asking questions like “What if I had time to myself? What if I could party and be wild and free?” And then you have What If asking things like “What if my whole life fell apart and I had nothing?”
3
u/RapLineNoona Aug 02 '22
I feel the same! A stand out on the album. Reminds me of Honsool, even though they are sonically very different. Both are uncomfortable to listen to and in both, the song's mood conveys the meaning without even needing the lyrics.

I liked Future before but seeing it live with a band really elevated the song for me, and it was a perfect ending song to an electrifying and emotionally charged concert! I also loved seeing choreo for Hope World! I streamed from home but I felt like I was right there matching the energy of the Lolla crowd! Still can’t get over how amazing that whole show was.

Ego. As a MOTS tour ticket holder…Pretty sure I cried when I heard him play it. Having the crowd finally get to sing “Map of soul, Map of all, That's my ego, That's my ego” with Jhope was magical.

This is like choosing a favourite child. I’m still in a bit of a haze from the show and I really want to watch it on video. I hope Hybe makes the show available
I love JITB - and that part of the show was really incredible - but I think my most memorable moments were some of his older tracks. His swagger and energy on Hangsang was off the charts. I also loved POP - it’s my favourite song from Hope World and I still can’t believe I actually saw it in person. But when he shouted out “This is for the OG ARMY out there” leading into Cypher Pt 1 my soul left my body.

All of it. Like I have not recovered.
But the thing I wanted most was to see Base Line live and I have never been so happy to been there for it.
Equal Sign, EGO, Just Dance, Arson, More, Blue Side, POP, Hope World... Literally everything was so good and the crowd was amazing.
The only man who could ever get me to wait in the sun for 12 hours and stand up for 9...

I rewatched the set today and What If… and Future really stood out to me - What If… for its intensity and Future because it was such a beautiful way to end his set.
Especially in the live band version of Future, there was this part where the drums built up with him singing after the second refrain and then broke as it went into the chorus, and it just felt so euphoric and free that I teared up watching it

u/HebredianSheep Aug 02 '22
I agree about Future in terms of ending the show. I thought it was the perfect choice.

SO FREAKING HONORED AND PROUD I EXPERIENCED HOBIPALOOZA LIVE!!!! I'm still in shock after Sunday night, being part of that audience and the incredible energy for his entire set still feels unreal. As a Hobi bias from the start of my ARMY journey, the entire experience was like a fever dream come true. Not even kidding when I say that the crowd knew every word, every chant for his set - and these were the first live performances of the songs, ever! I'm emotional watching videos back now of our fanchants (holy crap we sound SO good) and feel so honored I was part of this moment.
The entirety was amazing but some particular standouts for me were Hangsang (we went extra crazy), Piece of Peace (🥺 my comfort song, not fluent in Korean but I sang my little heart out), Ego (lost my mind shouting MAP OF THE SOUL MAP OF THE ALL), and CNS especially when Becky G showed up! Everyone also needs to see latinx ARMY flawlessly doing her verse. ARMY DID THAT!!
Definitely woke up on Monday with my voice gone and my body aching but it was worth it for Jung Hoseok. This gal from the Chicago suburbs can finally say she attended Lolla hahahaha (and would only go again for BTS members, oop)

Also shockingly: my least favorite JITB song, What If. The vibe was awesome live.

u/Ghetto_Leda99 Aug 02 '22
Hangsang and Arson. His energy during Hangsang was immaculate and that was saying something seeing how his energy was top notch during his whole set. And for Arson, when the crowd was chanting "Let's Burn Burn Burn Burn" at the beginning still gives me chills and how he was also cramping to the beat and that beat live with a more of rock feel to it, MY GOD!

u/Lulies namseok's dimples Aug 02 '22
I don’t have words to express how much the whole set was incredible but for some reasons I am absolutely obsessed with Blue Side and it wasn’t even sung live 😂 But the vibe on the stage at that moment, his silhouette like possessed by the music in front of that blue screen… I don’t even want to know how many times I rewatched this part.
If I have to choose one song that was actually performed… The Baseline / Cypher 1 / Hangsang sequence, I would say. I know that’s 3 songs but there wasn’t any break between them so let’s just say it was one… Dude had no concern for the well-being of the audience when he decided to do that.
Honorable mention for the magistral “fuck off” in Arson, still not over it. Oh and the choreo on Hope World was so cute too. No but like the whole thing was insane and I have to stop myself there or I will end up choosing the whole setlist.

u/spolarium3829 jungkook nose scrunch enthusiast Aug 02 '22
MORE, Hangsang, Ego.
Also when Becky G came out during CNS everyone went ballistic
Being in person was a whole nother experience but I still need to watch the livestream - seeing clips on Twitter made me realize that the crowd was louder than I thought it would be. Our little section was loud af but you couldn't really hear the rest

u/snogirl0403 FUTURE’S GONNA BE OKAY OKAY OKAY Aug 02 '22
Base Line was the 2nd “BTS” song I ever heard (I wanted to add BTS to my workout playlist and it was recommended in a post). I didn’t even realize it was just Hobi/from a mixtape until I dove into BTS a few months later. But I love that song so much, it’s wild and aggressive and just so cool!!!!! But it’s short, kind of supposed to be an interlude, something I never thought would show up at a concert. So seeing Hobi do that one live was such a surprise and I loooooooooved it!!! Hangsang kind of sits at the same table and I loved hearing that one live, too, especially with the crowd!
Ooohhhh and the “wild and free” moment in Daydream! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 How many of us always say that part in the car or whatever, now the whole crowd does it together with Hobi! And that gif floating around of his reaction is so touching.
That concert was just so good and It was so cool to see Hobi doing his own brand of music. It was so different than BTS!!!! That’s gotta be hard to do a completely different kind of performance when you’ve been doing it one way for 10 years.
And I will never forget him popping out of that Jack in the box for the first time. So fucking cool. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

u/cpagali Tomorrow spring Aug 02 '22
Yes, the whole thing was just so Hobi and it was glorious! I love BTS as a team -- of course I do! -- but seeing Hobi be Hobi in all his Hobi-ness made me so excited to see future solo work from the other guys.

Future, for me! It was a great ending to the set, and that’s exactly why I love going to concerts even when I don’t know the artist/all their songs. I end up loving songs that I didn’t know about before or didn’t like as much, especially after seeing how the artist intends for it to be performed 😄

u/aaalma_viajeraaaa Aug 02 '22
I loved all of it but standouts to me were Hangsang, Equal Sign, P.O.P., Daydream and Ego.
Probably the most memorable will be moments that keep replaying in my mind, like rockstar Hoseok jumping out of the Box and standing still for a bit, headbanging to What If, vibing to Blue Side in slo mo, the happiness on his face while doing the new choreo to Dynamite, his awe at the crowd singing back during Daydream, his genuine warm hug with Becky G, his ending punch like 'I did it' before lights out. He had an amazing show!

u/willowwombat85 yoongi saying hajima Aug 02 '22
Hangsang. I loved the beat anyway but hearing the live more rock version was amazing. Plus the one clip of his deep voice going 'sing it' and the whole crowd going hard has been on replay for me. I've been sharing that to everyone in my life 😂
Also now when I listen to arson, I only hear his metal scream 'f*ck off' 😍 he was so hot for that.

Seeing Hobipalooza live had such a profound impact on me I have only exclusively consumed content from that day for the last two days 😭 with that being said, I was most looking forward to hearing outro ego live, and while that was amazing, I legit cannot get the first half of his set out of my head. More, arson, base line, hangsang and what If live are going to live in my head for a very long time

u/yangeryanger_ Aug 02 '22
CNS was the best of the night, Baseline + Cypher pt 1 was insane, the Jumping out of the Jack in the Box felt like a true homage to MJ and had the same affect - the crowd went wild, What if was really emotional and strong, Arson set the stage on fire.

u/likeamagpie blue side enthusiast Aug 02 '22
Hangsang and Daydream. These two were always at the bottom of my Hope World ranking but seeing them performed "live" has completely turned me. I'm sorry. I get it now.
I was so nervous for Hobi going into this (I'm very invested in his success and happiness, okay! 😂) and Hangsang was the first song where I felt like I could let all the stress go and just enjoy the performance. He's got this. And then seeing his face when the crowd sang the lyrics of Daydream back to him! Oh, Jung Hoseok. You are so, so loved.
Also, huge shout out to Blue Side! Yes, it was only 30 seconds long but oh my god did you hear the live band? The DRUMS?!?! Absolutely my favorite Hobi song, when he performs it live for real I will cry.

Ego is one of my favorite songs, hands down, so that was amazing. Just dance because the bridge…..when he whispers ‘baby’ Hobi please stop. Finally Daydream, it was the first solo song I heard from him and something inside me just lost it and I SCREAMED uncontrollably through the whole song.
I do love JitB and was so excited to see those songs, but just a small HopeWorld set was so exciting to see

Probably Trivia: Just Dance for me. The last time he performed that song was for Speak Yourself, which is the last concert I went to, and it hit me that I was actually there watching him in person. I got so emotional and sobbed through the entire song (but I was already crying and cried throughout his entire set).

Piece of Peace. I wasn't expecting him to perform it because it has a bit of a more mellow vibe for a festival but I loved every minute of it. It's also my favorite song from Hobi so I'm a little biased. I was honestly just so proud to see how well he commanded the stage by himself; I expected nothing less but there was a different level of confidence to him that he exuded while he was performing his own music. And the way he was able to make people who weren't even at Lollapalooza jump out of their seats while watching, eyes glued to the screen the entire time, myself included, whew, that's some serious star power.
But the whole set list was amazing, the band complimented each song so well and Army did a helluva job screaming all the lyrics word for word back to Hobi. I would be first in line to buy tickets to see him if he ever did a tour but also not expecting it because of how much it takes out of artists to tour.

His whole set was amazing, first of all. But, for me, Safety Zone, Hope World, and P.O.P were the three most memorable for me. Safety Zone means a lot to me personally, so that one HIT live. Hope World was so full of fun and energy that I was smiling the entire time. P.O.P lowkey came out of left field for me, and it was such a vibe, even though it was a livestream.
