As surprising as it may sound, k-pop is a very popular genre of music all around the world. BTS is one of the most popular k-pop groups and has gained immense popularity internationally. They are about to start their stadium world tour Speak Yourself beginning from the United States to Brazil, London, Paris, and then ending in Japan.
The fans in Korea, K-army, would be considered the most lucky fans because BTS always hold events in Korea from fan signs to holding mini concerts and going to award shows. There are many opportunities like these for the fans in Korea to meet them and see them often. Although there are more opportunities for K-army’s to attend, it is not an easy process as the tickets to get into their mini concerts are sold through the lottery system.
In order to attend a fan sign, it is also a lottery system but it depends on how many albums they buy. Every album a fan buys is an additional entry therefore tickets usually go to fans that buy many albums. At the end of the day it comes down to luck because there was once a fan who won a ticket for the fan sign by only buying one album. However, most of the time the fans who buy over 600 albums end up having the chance to attend the fan signs.
As BTS’s lyrics are in Korean, it can be difficult for non speaking Korean fans to sing along to every word of the songs they perform. However, fans in Brazil managed to be one of the loudest crowds and would even dance along with the choreography. Brazilian fans were able to sing along to almost every word of their songs throughout the concert and even managed to keep up with the rappers.
Fans across the world in bigger venues, with more people, have not been able to top the Brazilian fan chants. BTS have commented time and time again about Brazil being one of their favorite places to perform because the fans really know how to cheer them on. They will finally be going to back Brazil after two years for their stadium tour and even the fans are excited to see how much louder the Brazilian fans will be.
