BTS, which is scheduled to hold comeback concerts at Mexico City’s GNP Stadium on the 7th, 9th and 10th, met with Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum.
News that BTS had been invited to the National Palace to pay a courtesy call drew an estimated 50,000 fans to the Zocalo plaza outside the palace.
According to Yonhap, Sheinbaum appeared with BTS on a palace balcony and greeted the crowd, which erupted in cheers.
The BTS members waved back and filmed the packed plaza on their phones, the report said.
Leader RM told fans, “Nice to meet you, and thank you so much for inviting us,” adding, “I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s show. Let’s have a fun time. I love you.” V, speaking in Spanish, said, “Mexico fans, I really missed you so much. The energy here is unbelievably amazing,” prompting another roar from the crowd.
Earlier, Sheinbaum posted on her official social media: “We welcome BTS, one of the groups most loved by Mexican youth. Their music and values bring Mexico and Korea together.”
As the members spoke to fans, Sheinbaum applauded. When V said, “We’ll come back next year,” she replied, “I already said you must come back next year.”
BTS’ three-day comeback run in Mexico is sold out. The group is set to continue its global tour in 34 cities across Japan, Europe, Central and South America, and Asia.
