Comedian Park Myung Soo emphasized that BTS's Gwanghwamun comeback show was a matter of "national prestige."
Today (on the 23rd) morning on KBS CoolFM's Park Myung Soo's Radio Show (shortened to Radio Show), Park Myung Soo mentioned BTS's performance "BTS comeback live: ARIRANG," which was held on the 21st at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul.
Park Myung Soo joked in response to a listener's remark, "It's embarrassing to compare. Although the scale was different, Radio Show also held two open broadcasts at Gwanghwamun. It was somewhere between Admiral Yi Sun-sin and King Sejong. I'll look forward to a third time," he said with a grin. But he drew a line, saying, "Radio Show was not on the scale of BTS. About 2,000, about 1,000 people came. It wasn't nationally promoted, but many people came," showing his own pride.
Above all, he praised BTS's Gwanghwamun performance. Park Myung Soo said, "BTS's Suga and Jin have a connection with me," and emphasized, "There are conversations about whether the Gwanghwamun performance was a success or not, but how much did it promote national prestige? Gwanghwamun in Korea was broadcast to 196 countries around the world, and that is something only BTS could do that cannot be measured in money. I believe everyone congratulated them."
The "BTS comeback live: ARIRANG," held on the 21st at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, was broadcast live worldwide through Netflix. It later became a hot topic by ranking No. 1 in 77 countries on Netflix. The site was reported to have drawn an officially estimated 100,000 spectators.
