BTS will perform shows in Mexico City on May 7, 9, and 10, with more than 135,000 tickets for the stadium showcase getting snapped up in a matter of minutes.

The group returned to the world spotlight in March after an almost four-year pause so its members could carry out their obligatory military service.

Kim Nam-joon, one of the members of the group, said to the crowd in Spanish: “I love you, I adore you. Thank you very much!”

“I already told them they have to come back next year,” Sheinbaum said, later posting a photo with the group and holding their latest album “ARIRANG.”

Lizeth Zarate, a coordinator for the Zocalo — Mexico City’s main square located in front of the presidential palace — said the Wednesday crowd was around 50,000.

“They’re my whole world,” Estefany Victoriano, a 25-year-old secretary, told AFP.

Another onlooker, 18-year-old Zoe Perez, was on the verge of tears.

“I’m speechless, and it’s a very beautiful feeling to see them in person. Since I couldn’t get tickets, well, it makes me a little emotional,” she said.
