BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jung-kook) made history in Mexico, shining a light on their global presence.

On May 6 (local time), BTS met with Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico, at the Presidential Office in Mexico City. The visit was arranged at the official invitation of President Sheinbaum and lasted approximately 40 minutes, beginning at 4:50 p.m.

President Sheinbaum welcomed the group, noting that many locals had waited a long time for BTS's performance. The Mexican government honored them as "Distinguished Visitors" and presented a commemorative plaque. The plaque highlighted BTS's contribution to inspiring Mexican youth through music and fostering a community based on respect, empathy, diversity, and peace.

On that day, all seven members joined the President on the balcony to greet citizens gathered in Zócalo Plaza. A crowd of approximately 50,000 people welcomed BTS with enthusiastic cheers. The members expressed their longing for Mexico in Spanish, saying, "The energy is truly incredible. Thank you for your support."

After the meeting, President Sheinbaum posted on her personal social media: "We joyfully welcomed the group most loved by Mexican youth. BTS's music and the values they convey connect Mexico and the Republic of Korea as one." She also praised BTS's music for conveying positive messages that promote a culture of peace and inclusion.

Local media outlets eagerly reported on the event. Major daily newspapers El Universal, Milenio, and Excélsior covered the meeting with the President, the balcony greetings, and the fervor of citizens gathered in Zócalo Plaza in detail.

BTS will hold concerts for a total of three days on the 7th and from the 9th to the 10th at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City. All three performances were sold out. The Mexico City Chamber of Commerce estimated that the concerts would generate an economic impact of approximately $107.5 million (about 155.7 billion won).
