BTS in CDMX: three historic concerts for the Mexican Army
Three BTS performances at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City attracted more than 150,000 followers. The dates, which are part of their international tour, paralyzed—in a good way—the capital and left unique moments.
Fans from all over the country, including a large group from Reynosa, fulfilled the dream of seeing RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook live. The seven members caused a wave of enthusiasm at each show.
The Korean group did not skimp on gestures towards local culture. J-Hope wore gloves with the colors of the Mexican flag; Jin wore the Mystic fighter’s jacket; and V was seen eating banderilla and cotton candy. Additionally, dancers wore wrestler masks and performers addressed the audience in Spanish at various times.
One of the most emotional moments occurred during the song “IDOL.” The members came down from the main stage and, to the rhythm of the extended instrumental, toured the surroundings of the stadium. This direct approach with the public was chanted by thousands of voices.
There were three unprecedented shows in the country, with attendees not only from Mexico but also from abroad. Logistics and security were reinforced in the area, although no serious incidents were reported. The experience will remain engraved in the memory of the Armys who lived those days in the capital.
