"It feels like the first time since Michael Jackson's era"... "Mexican fans were overjoyed, Korean fans were proud... BTS's surprise appearance on the balcony of the Mexican Palace brought tears to ARMY around the world"

BTS, after concluding a meeting with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, made a surprise appearance on the balcony of the Palacio Nacional (National Palace), moving ARMY worldwide. The sight of over 50,000 fans filling the square within just five hours, without any prior announcement, once again demonstrated BTS's global stature. Emotional messages from fans around the world poured into video comments on Korean and Mexican news outlets and on X (Twitter).

The seven members appeared on the balcony, waving and blowing kisses to the fans. In particular, V reading a prepared statement in Spanish set the scene ablaze. @goeskthh said, "I saw Taehyung say, 'I don't speak Spanish very well, but I'll try,' and I screamed and cried." Spanish-speaking fans went wild, saying, "V speaks Spanish better than English," and "It was so adorable to see him read his prepared words." @taeguide reported, "Seeing RM's shocked yet moved expression as the crowd cheered for V's Spanish speech was both funny and touching." One Mexican fan said, "Thank you for respecting the Spanish language. I was moved even though I'm not a fan."

It wasn't just Mexico; fans across Latin America were stirred. Peruvian fan @bre98star said, "Thank you, Mexican ARMY, for the warm welcome. BTS knows well the passion in Latin America." A Colombian fan praised, "For Latin fans, BTS is a voice of hope and love." @danielandrade9081 remarked, "This is the first time since the Menudo concert held 44 years ago at the Azteca Stadium that we've seen such an incredible welcome." One Mexican fan expressed, "I couldn't get concert tickets, but upon hearing this news, I took a bus at 1 a.m. to the capital and secured a great seat. I'll never forget this." Jimin captured the scene on video and shared his overwhelming emotions with fans on Instagram.

Korean fans also were deeply moved watching overseas footage. On the comment section of a KBS News video, reactions poured in: "So many people gathered just for four minutes," "A world-class welcome from a head of state," and "BTS is a national treasure of South Korea." @paraspasa said, "People mocked Arirang, but seeing this overseas footage, I don't think there will ever be another group like BTS." @newstarimage7347 expressed awe, saying, "I think this is the first time I've seen such a scene since Michael Jackson's era." @sooncho001 added, "Those who criticized the Gwanghwamun performance as a waste of administrative resources have gone quiet."

A Russian fan wrote, "This is a state visit reception, Your Highnesses." English-speaking fan @Claire_OT7 directly stated, "This is how BTS deserves to be treated. Korean fans should learn from overseas fans." The comment by @berniegaona9920, "BTS = Korean born, internationally LOVED," perfectly summarized the day's spectacle in one sentence.

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 and Industry estimated that the concerts would generate an economic impact of approximately $175 million (about 155.7 billion won).

Meanwhile, many fans who could not secure tickets also flocked to the scene. @btsdaily77 shared, "Even without concert tickets, seeing a mother and daughter watch BTS directly at the National Palace was so touching." Citizens who were not fans also expressed admiration. Responses such as "I don't know BTS well, but I was overwhelmed by the fans' passion," and "I was moved even though I'm not a fan and couldn't help but smile," continued to pour in. The Arirang World Tour is set to visit Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and other South American countries in October, and ARMY across Latin America has already entered full battle mode.
