Prior to the concert, J-Hope teased that something special would happen at the Brooklyn show — and oh boy, was it special. The rapper, singer, and dancer surprised ARMY by debuting a brand-new song titled Mona Lisa.
The unreleased track made its live debut on March 13. Before diving into the performance, J-Hope took a heartfelt moment to share the inspiration behind the song.?
Addressing the crowd, he said: "This song is just me expressing my love. Simply put, you are my masterpiece — my own Mona Lisa."

Concertgoers flocked to social media, sharing clips and snippets of the new track. Videos quickly went viral across multiple platforms, building anticipation for upcoming stops on the tour.
J-Hope added even more intrigue by teasing the song before the show. Just minutes before stepping on stage, he posted an Instagram Story featuring a zoomed-in shot of the famous Mona Lisa painting, accompanied by "shhh" emojis — a subtle hint at the surprise in store.?
This prompted ARMY to connect the dots, realizing that the Mona Lisa had also appeared in the Sweet Dreams music video, released just days earlier.? ARMY couldn't contain their excitement — or their humour — as they pieced together the Mona Lisa clues:?
One fan said, "Why are we so stupid..."?
Another wrote, "Guys, the Mona Lisa was in the Sweet Dreams MV and turned out to be the title of the next single. You know what that means — that's right, the third single is called Giraffe Head!... or Break Time... nah, I'm going with Giraffe Head!"
One shocked ARMY stated, "The Mona Lisa in the Sweet Dreams video was a clue!"?
The mix of shock, hilarity, and clever theories only added to the electric atmosphere, as ARMY buzzed with anticipation for what J-Hope might reveal next.?
