\n\t\u201cBTS Visits Mexico\u2019s National Palace: Behind The Scenes,\u201d reads the post, written in English and Korean, noting that the video will premiere on May 27 at 8 p.m. KST (7 a.m. ET). In Mexico, the release will take place at 5 a.m. No further details were provided.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe video will show the meeting attended by BTS members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook at the presidential residence. From the balcony where Mexican presidents traditionally deliver the \u201cGrito de Independencia\u201d (Cry of Independence) on the night of September 15, the septet greeted 50,000 fans (according to official figures) who gathered to catch a glimpse of them.<\/p>\n
\n\tBefore the crowd gathered at the country\u2019s main public square, the South Korean group delivered messages in Spanish and English to their fandom, known as ARMY, eliciting applause, smiles and even tears. Under intense heat, local fans waited for hours ahead of the three concerts BTS held on May 7, 9 and 10 at the GNP Seguros Stadium as part of their ARIRANG tour.<\/p>\n
\n\tLater, Sheinbaum posted a message on her social media accompanied by a photo with all seven members of the K-pop juggernaut. \u201cI am delighted to welcome one of the most beloved groups among young people in Mexico: BTS,\u201d she wrote. \u201cMusic and values unite Mexico and South Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tSheinbaum\u2019s invitation to BTS to the presidential residence sparked a wave of criticism from some members of ARMY on social media, who asked the Mexican president not to politicize the group\u2019s visit. On May 8, Sheinbaum teased in a video posted on her social media that BTS might return to Mexico in 2027. So far, the companies representing the group, BigHit Music and HYBE, have not confirmed when BTS will return to the country.<\/p>\n
\n\tSheinbaum has embraced the hopes of BTS\u2019 Mexican ARMY members, especially after tickets for the three concerts sold out in less than an hour. Through a letter, the president asked her South Korean counterpart, Lee Jae Myung, for more concerts of the band in the country, as she revealed on January 26. Three weeks later, she announced that the South Korean government responded, saying it had forwarded the request to the company managing the supergroup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
