BTS is currently carrying out worldwide tour, traveling through 34 cities and meeting millions of fans across 85 performances. There is nothing more exciting than attending a BTS concert, and it is undoubtedly always an unforgettable experience for ARMYs around the world. From top-tier performances to the electrifying atmosphere that lasts for hours —or even days —BTS concerts are often regarded as true "cultural festivals." However, like any large-scale event, BTS concerts also come with both positive and negative aspects. While most shows have been carried out safely and successfully, several major issues have still emerged. For example, last month's concert in Goyang saw 500 verification wristbands for attendees stolen, while the spread of counterfeit goods, fake merchandise, and unofficial merch became so serious that BigHit Music had to establish a monitoring system and release an official warning to fans during the North American leg of the tour. Most recently, in M...

  Mexico concerts alone estimated to generate US$105 million World tour revenue could reach US$ 1.8 billion K-pop group BTS is estimated to have generated roughly 150 billion won (about US$105 million) in economic impact from its concerts in Mexico alone. There is also growing speculation that the group's ongoing world tour, which runs through March next year, could create a global economic ripple effect comparable to pop superstar Taylor Swift's so-called "Taylornomics." According to BigHit Music on May 10, BTS wrapped up a three-show run in Mexico City on May 7 (local time). The agency said the concerts are expected to generate approximately US$107.5 million (around 150.5 billion won) in economic impact. BTS is currently on its ARIRANG world tour, which includes 85 performances across 34 cities worldwide. The tour began last month in Goyang and will continue through the United States and Mexico before heading to major European countries including Belgium, the United...

  On the 7th (local time), more than 65,000 people filled Estadio GNP Seguros —a stadium even larger than the Tokyo Dome, which has a capacity of 50,000. Throughout the 180-minute performance, silver lightsticks changing color with each song painted the night sky over Mexico in shimmering shades of silver, red, and purple. Although the stadium is located near the airport, with planes constantly taking off and landing, no one could hear the roar of the aircraft engines over the overwhelming energy of the concert. "Seeing how passionate you all are, we're truly sorry that we couldn't come here for the past 10 years." As Suga shared that night, this marked BTS's first return to Mexico City in nearly 10 years, since 2017. The phrase the members repeated most often throughout the concert was "Te amo, Te quiero" —both meaning "I love you." The members also emphasized that during their next tour, they "absolutely have to come back to Mexico....

  [ Theqoo  — 260507] Jungkook from BTS has even appeared in an American educational world biography series as the first Korean person to do so. So cool so cool. Not long ago, Jungkook became the first Korean person to be featured in an American educational book introducing global stars. And now, he is reportedly set to appear in a world biography series as well (*What's more surprising is that both books are from different publishers). It is part of My Itty-Bitty Bio , an American biography series created for children's education. Since 2016, the series has covered historical figures such as Geroge Washington and Thomas Edison, making it a long-running series with nearly a decade of history. Recently, the series has started featuring modern figures such as athletes and pop stars. And reportedly, Jungkook is the first and only Korean person to be included so far. Comments: 1. Jungkook really does get mentioned causally in everyday life. When I was living in Canada, I remember ...

  [ Theqoo  — 260507] Beatles, Michael Jackson, and BTS Beatles, Michael Jackson and BTS. Pop music's big 3 from 3 different generations. pic.twitter.com/5wYtwczxb1 — steph ⊙⊝⊜ (@gomdorichick) May 7, 2026 They say these are the artists who have been invited to Mexico's National Palace and greeted people from the balcony up until now. (It's just a joke/meme —not saying they're on the same level as the Beatles or Michael Jackson). Comments: 1. They're honestly so incredible and moving  — truly living legends. 2. Are BTS in the last photo???? Where are they? That crowd is absolutely insane. 3. Ohh, so I guess not many artists have been invited there. And even if there were, there probably weren't many artists who drew a crowd that huge. 4. Why do people like them that much? The people they used to be in the past have all changed and aren't the same anymore. 5. This is insane lol. Honestly, I think younger generations after me might appreciate BTS even more. Sin...

  On May 6 (local time), BTS met with Claudia Sheinbaum at National Palace. The visit took place following an official invitation from President Sheinbaum ahead of the group's three-day concert series at Estadio GNP Seguros. The meeting lasted approximately 40 minutes. The Mexican government welcomed BTS with honors reserved for "Distinguished Guests" and presented the group with a commemorative medal in recognition of their positive contributions. The inscription on the medal highlighted how BTS has inspired Mexican youth through music while also helping foster a community built on respect, empathy, diversity, and peace. Following their conversation with President Sheinbaum, all seven members stepped onto the balcony with her to greet around 50,000 people gathered at Zocalo. The members spoke in Spanish to express their affection for fans, saying, "We really missed Mexico" and "Thank you for always supporting us." In response, tens of thousands of fan...
