On January 12, the media announced the return of the famous French charity concert event Yellow Pieces Gala 2025 (French name: Gala des Pieces Jaunes), which will take place on January 23 at the Paris la Defense indoor stadium.
In addition to international artists such as Katy Perry, Gims, John Legend, Pretty Yende... this year's lineup attracted the attention of global fans with the appearance of 3 Kpop artists: Rose (Blackpink), G-Dragon (Big Bang) and J-Hope (BTS).
After being discharged from the military in October 2024, this year J-Hope will actively return to solo activities.
Yellow Pieces Gala may be his first concert stage of the year to meet international fans, before officially starting his first solo tour of his career “Hope on the Stage”, going through cities in Asia and North America, starting from the end of February 2025.
G-Dragon is also expected because he just returned at the end of 2024 with the songs "Power", "Home Sweet Home" and is expected to release a solo album and organize a tour in 2025.
Meanwhile, this is the second time Rose has attended the Yellow Pieces Gala event. The group Blackpink (Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, Rose) was first invited to attend this concert in early 2023.
At the end of 2024, Rose took the world by storm when she released the song “APT.” in collaboration with Bruno Mars, followed by her solo album “rosie”, setting a series of impressive records.
After nearly 3 months of release, the heat of “APT.” has not cooled down. The song has now reached 867 million streams on Spotify, reaching the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
