Is Becky G Joining J-Hope at Lollapalooza?

Fans are buzzing on social media about a rare opportunity for Becky G and K-pop sensation J-Hope to perform together live. Earlier in June, BTS member J-Hope became the first Korean soloist announced to headline the 2022 edition of the Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago, IL. With J-Hope being stateside, fans are eager to know if the global superstar and Becky G will finally come together when he plays Grant Park on Sunday, July 31.

Last time Hoseok travelled to the US solo for work, it was to film the CNS MV.

In 2019, the unlikely duo dropped a trilingual remake of Webstar and Young B’s 2006 hit “Chicken Noodle Soup.” Like other K-pop and Latine collaborations, the track became an instant fan favorite. Fans have since been clamoring for a live performance with the two stars.

“I swear that I’m following every move Becky G makes,” says one hawkeyed Twitter user. “As soon as I see that she’s taking a flight or appears in Chicago these days, I swear I won’t live to tell the story.”

juro que estoy siguiendo cada movimiento que haga becky g y a la primera que tome un avión o aparezca en chicago en estos días les juro que no vivo para contarlo

“It’s almost time for Hoseok at Lolla and no one can get the thought of suddenly having [Chicken Noodle Soup performance] with Becky live from my head,” another hopeful fan tweeted. Ho-seok is J-Hope’s real name.

Ya casi Hoseok en el lolla y nadie me quita de la cabeza que de pronto tengamos cns con Becky g en vivo

Fans aren’t the only ones who want this to happen. “I love him so much,” Becky G gushed to Ernesto Buitron News. “Every now and then, we text each other. There were times that [the opportunity to sing] ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ together didn’t work out. We attempted it many times.”

Becky G says that she loves J Hope, he’s amazing, and that they text often! They’ve tried many times to perform CNS live, but things haven’t matched up. They want fans to know they’re trying to hopefully perform the song together ? @iambeckyg @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/zIUlmjEs2a

“I want the fans to know that we totally want to,” the Mexican-American singer reassured. “If it happens, we’ll be super happy. I’m going to do what I can. If he invites me, I’m there for sure.”

Becky G has been chilling in her hometown of LA since she gave a headlining performance for MLB’s All-Star Week’s Extra Innings on July 16 at Dodger Stadium. Taking a four-hour flight to Chicago doesn’t seem far-fetched, but we’ll have to wait and see if she’ll be J-Hope’s surprise guest at Hobipalooza after all.
