BTS created massive excitement in Mexico City after meeting Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum at the presidential palace.
On May 7 KST, BTS members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook visited the presidential palace at the invitation of President Sheinbaum.
Following a brief meeting with the president, the members appeared on the presidential office balcony to greet thousands of fans gathered at Zócalo. The area surrounding central Mexico City reportedly became packed with fans eager to see the global superstars.
V greeted the crowd in Spanish on behalf of the group, while Jungkook and other members also shared short messages with fans.
