"The Beatles, MJ, the Pope"… BTS stuns 50,000 in Mexico, sending shockwaves worldwide: "Witnessing a living legend"

As videos of BTS (BTS: Jung-kook, Jimin, Taehyung, RM, J-HOPE, Jin, Suga) appearing on the balcony of Mexico's National Palace spread globally through U.S. media outlets including CNN, fans and the general public alike have expressed shock. The common keyword is one — "the first time since The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and the Pope."

In a comment on CNN's Instagram, @queenyrk78, who identified themselves as 66 years old, said, "It reminds me of when The Beatles first landed in the U.S. BTS are the Beatles of today. They have inherited the crown." Meanwhile, @damone8182 stated, "I'm a fan of both The Beatles and Michael Jackson. I experienced the MJ phenomenon firsthand, and I've never seen anything like this since MJ. It's even more surprising that their songs are in Korean."

@rikalpin_ succinctly summarized, "Paying tribute to The Beatles and MJ, now it's BTS's turn." @chippie_ray remarked, "I've never seen a crowd like this since MJ," while @just.vino added, "This is exactly the kind of fame that rivals Michael Jackson."

Reactions comparing the scene to the Pope also followed. @dianetuangco said, "It feels like a visit by the Vatican Pope or a British royal event. If this is what it's like without even being a concert, imagine how amazing the concert must be." @kindravision jokingly asked, "Could they be the new Pope?" eliciting laughter. @thatanimemom commented, "It feels like I'm meeting the Pope."

@myyoongithebestforever wrote, "I'd even become president just to meet BTS someday!" sparking widespread laughter.

Shock reactions from non-fans also drew attention. @raptorcough said, "I don't know their music well, but if they can draw in an entire Na Ra-wa (President), they must undeniably be globally popular." @instajonerz stated, "There are artists who emerge once every few decades, elevating public consciousness to a new level. We are witnessing that moment right now with BTS." @elizabeth.egbamuno added, "I rushed here after a 5-hour notice. This is something you can't fake or create. It either exists or it doesn't. BTS has that."

Moving comments also poured in. @misscoocoocachoo said, "If Michael Jackson were here, he would be incredibly proud of these kids. I feel like he's saying from heaven, 'Keep going, spread love through music,'" as tears welled in their eyes. @pacyna.ela remarked, "RM described them as 'seven ordinary boys from Korea,' yet 50,000 people don't gather for ordinary individuals." @lau0326fm added, "Their message is self-love, overcoming depression, opposing drugs, and respect. It's exactly the message teenagers need."
