That president ain’t shit she should be helping all the moms that have missing sons instead of doing bs 😭
You forgot to add that it was only a 5 hour notice!
i’m happy for those that went, but FUCK THAT. just looking at the pictures i’m in awe and in shock at how huge the crowd is!
if it’s one thing mexico loves dragon ball z and kpop lol.
Incredible showing. I saw a clip of them singing along to one of their songs Hooligan, such high energy 🔥 The shows there are gonna go crazy, I hope it goes smoothly and safely for everyone too
I love how Mexican people connect with music regardless of language barriers.
Artists love performing there!!
Why the quotation marks around Zócalo? It’s a proper noun. Would you call it ‘Times Square’?
This is CRAZY but also just another common happening for these guys. Watching the live stream was such a vibe, the crowd was singing along to BTS songs for like four hours before their appearance.
The members themselves looked shocked, after 13 years they still get surprised pikachu faces when faced with how famous they are. I know it sounds like hyperbole for a fan like me to say these guys don’t act as famous as they are, but they really don’t. They could be self promoting constantly or at glitzy events, instead they generally just make music and perform and keep to themselves. They are like the anti pop star.
OMG?????
Look at all those bots
The president??????
Lmao jobs? School? Life? Fuck it BTSis here 😂 I hope ppl had fun
That second photo is insanity, literally a horde of zombies.
Asian culture is huge there. Over 80 million people in Mexico watch anime regularly. Mexico is the 5th largest K-pop market on Spotify globally, and the only Spanish-speaking country in the top 10.
Damn. Mexican fans do not fuckin play.
I had no idea they were so popular in Mexico. In comparison, their comeback concert in S Korea got – attendees (and livestreamed to 18 million) and that was after months of advance notice not a few hours and in their native country.
Don’t let BTS_Snark see this….
What does being that famous do to someone?
They deserve it. Their new comeback tour is AMAZING TAMPA SHOUTOUT WOOOOO ARIRANG ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Omg. Cant even imagine what it would have been like to leave from there.
People who have 50k followers on Instagram. Please check what it actually looks like when 50k people follow you.
50,000??? Why does it look bigger than 1999 Woodstock which had 250,000 people at the same time
It really does warm my heart that people in the US are opening their eyes to the behemoth that is Latin America because of these cultural shows and festivals where people are showing up to en masse. The narrative in US media is not great PR for our countries, so I’m glad people are seeing something else.
Art is political. This kind of rub me in the wrong way as a fan of BTS; I’m going to one of their presentations in Chile and it would be hella weird if Kast were taking smiling pictures next to them, I understand the emotional meaning of a public displaying outside of the schedule concerts, but still… idk how to exactly pin point it.
