After the Busan shows, the European leg of the world tour is set to continue, aiming to reconnect with fans across the globe.

Arirang has been hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the Best Albums of 2026 so far, with BTS’s comeback celebrated as the year’s biggest music news and praised for honoring Korean heritage.

NME names BTS the biggest boy band in the world and highlights Arirang’s blend of cultural roots with international influences, calling Body To Body a standout track.

The ARIRANG tour kicked off in Goyang last spring with 130,000 spectators, and has delivered an unprecedented run of 86 performances, demonstrating the group’s resilience amid challenging weather.

Following a hiatus for solo projects and mandatory military service, the final member SUGA was discharged ahead of a March 2026 return livestream that drew over seven million concurrent viewers.

Outside the concerts, BTS’ influence extended to Mexico, where a visit to President Claudia Sheinbaum and crowd activity in Mexico City underscored their global reach.

Busan marked an anniversary-related event with fan discussions over delays and scalping, signaling ongoing engagement around BTS activities.

A defining moment comes from BTS’s North American tour leg and a Run BTS 2.0 dinner video, revealing the members’ candid, mature camaraderie.

BTS thanks fans for the long-awaited return and pledges ongoing plans to ensure the tour’s flawless finish, cementing their evolution into artists and adults.

ARIRANG marks a worldwide comeback, beginning with a North American run at Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium and a European leg starting in late June, signaling a major reunion for BTS.

BTS’s Arirang world tour is planned to include 88 shows across 34 regions, making it the largest tour ever by a K-pop artist, with dates in Japan and the Middle East anticipated.

The tour is sweeping 34 cities worldwide, creating a cultural phenomenon with powerful Korean singalongs by fans known as ARMY.
