Foreign media's favorable reviews are pouring in on the BTS (BTS) "Arirang" tour.

BTS held the opening of "BTS WORLD TOUR "ARIRANG" at the main stadium of Goyang Stadium from the 11th to the 12th of the 9th. This performance was sold out for the third time at the same time as the ticket was opened, and a special moment was completed with more than 132,000 audiences for three days. It was praised for maximizing Korean art beauty by actively utilizing the 360-degree stage and reflecting Korean symbols such as Gyeonghoeru and Geongon Gamri in the set design.

Major foreign media are also praising it.

The UK's NME gave a score close to perfect, noting that BTS has opened a new chapter through this performance. "Just as the new album 'ARIRANG' expanded the boundaries of the genre, it presented a new direction on stage that deviated from the elements normally expected in K-pop performances," he said. While filling most of the setlist with the new songs, the previous songs were properly arranged to effectively connect the present with the past.

"Just as 'Arirang' is based on the Korean roots of the group, the performance on this day also filled the entire stage direction and choreography with the team's identity," the NME praised.

Finally, "The core of the performance is the 'connection'. This also means that the BTS is deeply in communication with the audience, meaning that they are in contact with their identity. The last song, "Into the Sun," embroidered with fireworks, came as beautifully optimistic. The performance was over, but the moment of BTS was not over yet," he added.

The BBC said, "It was not just a place to meet global megastars again, but to realize the existence of a group loved by everyone." The media cited the members' strong bond and natural chemistry as the key charms of the performance, and analyzed that this fellowship was the power that kept the team at the top. It will also be recorded as the largest tour in the history of the Korean group.

The U.S. Billboard highlighted that BTS's strengths, such as drive, song expansion, and teamwork with a large audience, stood out. In addition, "On the stage of the track 'Body to Body', the traditional folk song 'Arirang' melted, and the scene where the audience sang it together remained one of the most impressive moments of the night. It was a special scene that could only be felt in this performance," he recalled.

It was also a moment when the core narrative of BTS was put back at the center of the stage of 'IDOL'. It has shown that Korean identity and global pop scale can coexist within one frame," he analyzed.

GQ India, an Indian fashion magazine, said, "It has fascinated countless audiences with its irreplaceable stage dominance and proved once again that it is most powerful when seven people are together."

Meanwhile, BTS will hold a Tokyo Dome performance from the 17th to the 18th, followed by a total of 85 world tours in 34 cities around the world, including North America, Europe, and South America.
