BTS released a 36-minute sketch video capturing the behind-the-scenes moments of their World Tour "Arirang" European leg. The video features everything from the members' playful moments to the tension before performances and the tears that flowed after taking the stage, prompting overseas fans to react enthusiastically, calling it "like a love letter written for ARMY."

On the 1st, BTS uploaded the video titled 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN EUROPE Sketch' to their official YouTube channel, BANGTAN TV. The footage includes behind-the-scenes content from the European concerts that began in Madrid, Spain on the 26-27, proceeded through Brussels, Belgium; London, UK; and Munich, Germany, and concluded at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France on the 17-18.

The video opens with scenes showcasing just how fun BTS's behind-the-scenes daily life is. In particular, fans were captivated by Jin and Jungkook tickling each other in a playful manner. As the two engaged in a scuffle, the scene continued to J-Hope saying about Jin, "He's 35 years old," which quickly spread on X as clips of that moment were shared.

Fans enjoyed the moment, specifically mentioning the duo's "tickle war" with the phrase "JINKOOK TICKLE FIGHT." Seeing members who deliver perfect performances on stage spend their off-stage time playing around provided fans with another source of joy.

The back-and-forth between Suga and Jimin was also not missed. A short scene where the two teased each other in a playful conversation drew reactions such as "HELLO YOONMIN TEASING EACH OTHER." Fans captured every detail, from the members' brief conversations and expressions to how they treated one another, and shared them on X.

The process of preparing for the concerts was also documented in the video. Jungkook was seen practicing Spanish ahead of the Madrid concert, while the members prepared for their performances in their own ways before taking the stage. Rather than just showing the polished look on stage, the video captured the tension and preparation right before the show, revealing another side of the European tour.

Other moments that gained attention included RM and Jin wearing matching Pikachu T-shirts and feeling awkward about it. There was also a scene where Jin was pushed into the dancers' waiting room and only came out after dancing, as well as a moment where V sat on Jin's knee while he was taking photos, causing interference. The members were heard saying that Suga is the one who enjoys this tour the most. The video also captured the members exchanging opinions on what went well and what could be changed after each performance.

Jungkook shedding tears during the Paris concert moved fans' hearts. One fan on X expressed sympathy, stating, "Crying Jungkook on the second day in Paris and V trying to hold back his tears." On Reddit, a post read, "It hurts even more seeing Jungkook cry in high quality," accompanied by the reaction, "It is comforting to know that Jungkook still holds such strong emotions and passion for the stage. This is proof that it is his true calling."

Many fans also focused on the members' teasing of Jin. One fan said, "The unofficial title of this sketch should be '1001 Ways to Torment Seokjin,'" while another left a comment saying, "Never separate these mischievous ones again."

One Reddit user described the video as feeling like "a love letter sent to ARMY." This reaction stemmed from the fact that the video did not just show highlights of the performance but also included the members' behind-the-scenes appearances and the fans enjoying the concert. The user wrote, "The diversity of the fandom was visible in scenes of fans singing along while enjoying the show and holding up posters and light sticks they had prepared." They added, "Concerts have always been a happy place for BTS since their debut, but they have never looked as comfortable and relaxed as they do now."

Amid high praise calling it "the best Arirang tour sketch released so far," a fan living in Europe said, "It was nice to see as a European. I hope you come back again," expressing anticipation for their return visit.
