The group BTS (BTS, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook) sold out all 14 performances across five South American cities, drawing a total audience of 853,000.

BTS performed tracks from their fifth studio album "ARIRANG," including "FAKE LOVE," "Not Today," "MIC Drop," "FIRE (Bultaoneune)," "IDOL," "Butter," and "Dynamite." They structured each show with a different setlist and communication in local languages. This marked the group's first full-member performances in Colombia and Argentina, while Peru was their first visit since debut. The Chile and Brazil concerts were their first in 9 years and 7 years, respectively.

BTS shared their impressions, stating, "South America is a place we rarely get to visit, making it one of the most anticipated parts of our schedule. We were truly excited even before arriving, and as expected, you all are amazing. The emotion we received this time was so overwhelming that we felt we needed to come back quickly to give it back to you. One of the happiest memories of my life was created here. I will cherish this memory as I return home."

Meanwhile, 96% of the audience at the La Plata concert in Argentina were visitors from outside the city, with over 130,000 people visiting the area for the first time. The audience is estimated to have spent approximately 53 billion Argentine pesos (approximately 46 billion won based on Hanwha's exchange rate) on accommodation, food and beverages, transportation, and leisure.

Following a tour connecting Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, BTS concluded their South American schedule with a performance at Morumbi Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil. The group is set to continue the tour in Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta, Melbourne, and Sydney.
