Singer J-Hope, known as a member of the Korean supergroup BTS, was the first Korean solo music artist to headline a major U.S. music festival after he played the Chicago festival Lollapalooza Sunday evening.

J-Hope was dressed in mostly black for the top part of the set, wearing gloves and an oversized tee and pants along with an interesting collared necklace. He then did an outfit change partway through the set into an all-white ensemble accented by green sunglasses and blue gloves.
