Top idol group BTS (BTS, RM Jin Jimin, J-Hope, Suga, V Jungkook) headed to New York, USA, just 12 hours after their comeback stage in Gwanghwamun.
BTS departed for New York via Incheon International Airport on the morning of the 22nd for an overseas schedule. They will attend a Spotify performance in New York, USA.
Leader RM, who had suffered an ankle injury just before the Gwanghwamun performance and was unable to perform on stage, appeared at the departure hall on crutches.


BTS held a performance of "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" at Gwanghwamun Square in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 21st and returned to the full stage after about three years and nine months. According to Hive, the number of people gathered around Gwanghwamun and City Hall Square was estimated to be about 104,000. Considering the possibility of gathering up to 260,000 people, the performance was held under a large-scale safety management system, with about 4,800 police personnel and 4,000 order maintenance personnel.
Later, RM wrote a long article on the fan communication platform Weverse and said, "Thank you to everyone who participated in the Gwanghwamun concert."
RM said, "After four long years of waiting, the seven members gathered again and faced you in a meaningful space called Gwanghwamun. We would like to thank everyone for their generous consideration and support for the return stage to be completed safely. "We bow down to the police, fire, government and local government officials who embraced Gwanghwamun Square as our return stage and worked hard to make it a safe performance without any major accidents in the midst of large crowds."
"I would like to express my sincere apologies and gratitude to citizens who have endured major and minor inconveniences such as traffic control and noise, as well as merchants and office workers in Gwanghwamun," he said. "We will never take our performance for granted and keep it in our hearts for a long time."
RM said, "This Gwanghwamun stage is not just for seven of our BTS. It was a stage completed with the hard work of those who were responsible for safety, the warm understanding of citizens, and the unwavering love of ARMY. "We will not forget this great love and support you have sent, and we will make a bigger sound and better music in the future journey of BTS." I hope today's hot memories will remain a pleasant gift in your daily life for a long time. We were really, really happy."
