BTS V, Argentine Fans 'Go Wild' as He Sings Messi's Chant "Muchachos"

V of the group BTS led the Argentine "national anthem," uniting 60,000 spectators.

BTS performed on the second day of their World Tour "Ari Ram" in Argentina at Estadio Único Diego Armando Maradona in La Plata on the 23rd (local time). According to local media outlets such as Excitoina and Estas Informado, the highlight of the night belonged to V.

During a brief pause in the performance, V began singing the first verse of "Muchachos" with an accent that blended Korean pronunciation. Immediately, approximately 60,000 spectators joined in with the remaining lyrics, while V danced along to the crowd's chorus. Local media reported that "for several minutes, the stadium felt like a football stadium stand."

"Muchachos" is a fan chant based on a 2003 song by the Argentine band La Mosca, with new lyrics added by fans. It became established as the "national anthem" after echoing across the country during the 2022 Qatar World Cup, when the Argentine national team led by Lionel Messi won the championship.

Previously, at their first concert, BTS had thrilled local fans by wearing Messi's number 10 jersey and recreating his goal celebration.

V also captured the hearts of fans with Argentine Spanish. He said, "I learned this today, listen: Shall we have a mate? (¿Y si nos tomamos unos mates?)", mentioning mate, the traditional tea popular among Argentines, which drew loud cheers. He also showcased a wordplay using "manija," local slang meaning an excited state. Since "manija" also means "door handle," the phrase "There are so many handles here, just bring the doors" effectively means "Everyone here is excited." Toward the end of the concert, V greeted the audience by saying, "Thank you for enjoying today as well. I love you, Argentina."

Other members also responded in Spanish. Jungkook said, "It's already the second day. Last time was truly amazing," while Suga shouted, "Argentina knows how to have fun. Show us again today."

The scene quickly spread on X (formerly Twitter). One Argentine fan expressed their excitement by saying, "Do you know how many times I've watched the video of Tae-hyung singing 'Muchachos' with an Argentine accent? Fifteen times." The next day, V posted a photo of an Argentine night street on his social media, writing, "I speak Spanish really well, just kidding (Hablo re bien español, ahre)," which brought laughter. "Ahre" is internet slang used by young Argentines to mean "just kidding."

BTS concluded their final concert in Argentina on the 24th and will wrap up their South American tour with performances in São Paulo, Brazil, on the 28th, 30th, and 31st.
