BTS (BTS) Jimin set Mexico City ablaze and captivated fans.

On May 8 (local time), Jimin completely captivated the audience with a flawless performance at the first day of the 'BTS World Tour 'Arirang' in Mexico City' held at Estadio GNP Seguros.

Jimin, who drew attention with a prince-like aura straight out of a movie during his meeting with the Mexican president on the 7th, dominated the stage at the concert by unleashing his rock-star charm. In particular, he delivered a fantastic performance worthy of a 'genius at his main job,' and even a surprise abs reveal in the middle of the show heated up the stadium.

At the end of the concert that day, Jimin drew huge cheers by delivering a Spanish greeting he had prepared in advance. Previously, he also moved fans in Japan by reading a letter in Japanese, once again showing his sincerity to fans in the language of the country where the concert is being held and delivering the joy that comes with a world tour.

According to a Forbes article dated May 7, Jimin has recorded the highest number of streams among K-pop solo artists on Mexico's Spotify chart, with more than 97 million. Across all K-pop acts, he is drawing tremendous popularity locally, ranking second only to BTS.

To support Jimin's Mexico performance, fans carried out a support campaign to cheer on him as both a group member and a uniquely outstanding solo artist. An ad truck wrapped on three sides with Jimin advertisements drove around the stadium where the concert was held, and certification photos and videos shared on SNS are becoming a hot topic.

Meanwhile, BTS, of which Jimin is a member, wrapped up the first day of performances in Mexico City, took a day's rest, and will continue the heat of the concert over two days on the 10th and 11th.
