Singer BTS drew 717,000 attendees in Europe with its "Arirang" tour, according to data on the 19th. According to BigHit Music, BTS held 10 concerts in five cities, including Madrid in Spain, London in the United Kingdom, and Paris in France.
At the final tour stop in Paris, 92,000 people gathered per show. A broadcast camera also caught French President Emmanuel Macron and his spouse in attendance. On the same stage for the first time in 7 years and 1 month since the "Love Yourself" tour in 2019, the members greeted local fans in French.
The members said, "We were happy from the start of the Europe tour through the Paris shows," and noted, "We were so moved that we wondered when we would ever perform in front of so many people again."
BTS will move to the United States to perform in front of soccer fans. On the 20th, the group will appear in the halftime show of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup at New York New Jersey Stadium in the United States.
