Seeing the whole city welcoming BTS makes me really feel their world-class status.

Seeing how North American cities are welcoming the Arirang Tour like this, they really are world-class, haha. It’s not just a concert; street names are changing and the governor is personally greeting people in Korean. Even as a fan watching this, it makes me feel inexplicably proud, haha.

I feel especially proud to see Korean music and culture naturally spreading to every corner of the world. It is truly wonderful to see local cities and fans come together to create a festive atmosphere through music alone, despite the differences in borders and languages. True to its name, "Arirang," this tour seems to be a perfect blend of Korean sensibility and global energy, so I am looking forward to it even more. I will be rooting for you to continue writing legendary records with the remaining performances!
