BTS completed a North American tour across five cities in the U.S. and Mexico, drawing a total audience of 840,000 [1].
The tour signifies the group's continued global influence and commercial dominance following their win of the top prize at the American Music Awards [1], [2].
The itinerary included a large stadium performance in Las Vegas [1], [2]. During the tour, the group witnessed crowds collectively singing "Arirang," a traditional Korean folk song [1], [2].
Financial reports from Billboard highlight the scale of the operation. Eight performances held in April generated approximately 114 billion won in revenue [1].
During the events, members Jungkook and Jimin engaged with the audience regarding the energy of the crowds. "I felt it while performing, but I think you all enjoyed it more than we did. Thank you everyone," they said [2].
The tour served as a primary promotional vehicle for the band's latest activities. By visiting five distinct cities [1], the group maintained a direct connection with their North American fanbase through large-scale stadium events.
“840,000 attendees across five cities”
The scale of this tour and the specific act of international audiences singing a traditional Korean folk song demonstrate BTS's role in shifting the cultural exchange between South Korea and the West. The high revenue reported by Billboard reinforces the group's status as a primary economic driver in the global music industry.
