Chants Brazilian Support Slogans… Wearing Symbols of Pride from Four South American Nations at Country-Specific Concerts

From Messi’s Number 10 Jersey to Ponchos, Mokdong Hats, and Canary Squad Uniforms… Finale of 'Local Transformation' Across Four South American Countries

In Peru, ponchos and fur hats; in Chile, traditional Mokdong attire; in Argentina, Messi’s number 10 jersey. And finally, in Brazil, the national team uniform. The group BTS (BTS) wore each country’s pride on stage throughout their South American tour, thrilling local fans.

On the 31st (local time), BTS performed the final show of their world tour 'Arirang' at the Morumbi Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil. It was their first concert in Brazil in seven years, with approximately 84,000 attendees per night over three days.

The highlight of the day came in the latter half of the performance. According to Brazilian media outlet Billboard Brasil, members including Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook took the stage wearing Brazil national football team uniforms. Jin wore a 'cocar,' a traditional feathered headdress of the Brazil Wonju people.

According to local media outlet Porta R10, the members appeared in this attire before performing 'Butter' and 'Dynamite,' paying tribute to the audience with movements and dances reminiscent of Brazilian football. Jungkook also stripped off his top that day, heating up the crowd.

The 'fan service' toward Brazil, the land of football, began the previous day. At the concert on the 30th, V chanted along with the audience the support slogan "I am Brazilian, with great pride and great love (Eu sou brasileiro, com muito orgulho, com muito amor)," which is heard at every Brazil national team match.

This kind of 'customized local attire' became a tradition of this South American tour. It started in Peru. At the final concert held on the 10th at the San Marcos Stadium in Lima, Peru, all seven members appeared wearing Andean traditional ponchos and fur hats called 'chuyos.' Even hats shaped like llamas and 'Pucara bulls,' a Peruvian traditional craft, made an appearance. V shouted "Peru is top! Peru is key! (¡Perú es top! ¡Perú es clave!)" before coming off stage to gift the chuyo he was wearing to a fan.

A week later, on the 17th at the final concert at the National Stadium in Santiago, Chile, they transformed into traditional Chilean Mokdong 'huaso' attire. They were equipped with wide-brimmed straw hats called 'chupallas' and shawls draped over their shoulders called 'mantas.' Jin drew attention by wearing a purple manta, BTS’s signature color. V greeted the crowd in Chilean dialect with "How are you, Chilean ARMY? (¿Cómo estai, poh?), receiving cheers.

In Argentina, football hero Lionel Messi made an appearance. At the first concert on the 21st at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in La Plata, five members including V and Jungkook performed 'Come Over' wearing Argentina national team uniforms with Messi’s number 10 on the back. Jimin and Jin wore outfits utilizing the colors of the Argentine flag, and the members mimicked Messi’s goal celebration by raising both index fingers to the sky.

The members delivered greetings in Portuguese, which they had prepared until the very end. Jungkook shouted, "ARMY! This is our last concert in São Paulo. Enjoy it more than ever," and V promised, "We will pour out everything to make it an unforgettable night." Jin said, "Thank you sincerely for waiting," and bid farewell with "We will definitely come back (Com certeza voltaremos)."

The affection for Brazilian fans continued even in the live broadcast held after the concert. RM noted, "Many fans were holding signs that read 'I waited 10 years,'" and J-Hope said, "Seeing things like that really moves me."
