In the latest episode of the group’s self-produced content series “Run BTS 2.0,” released on June 11, the seven members reflected on their experiences while traveling around the world and meeting fans during the largest tour of their career.

“It Gives Us Chills Every Time”

Speaking about unforgettable tour memories, the members highlighted the passionate sing-alongs from fans worldwide.

“No matter which country or city we visit, hearing ARMYs sing ‘Arirang’ together gives us chills and makes us emotional,” the group said.

They added that fans have become even more comfortable enjoying the concerts compared to previous tours.

“We can really feel how much more confidently audiences are enjoying the shows now,” the members explained.

BTS Reflects on Life During the Tour

The episode was filmed as a special surprise dinner gathering ahead of BTS’s debut anniversary on June 13.

The members, who reunited during the North American leg of the tour, openly discussed their recent experiences, personal growth, and favorite moments from life on the road.

They also looked back on the opening concert in Goyang, where heavy rain poured throughout the first night.

“We ended up laughing while standing on stage getting soaked,” the members recalled. “It became one of those unforgettable memories.”

BTS noted that they now appreciate spending quiet time together after performances.

“In the past, we didn’t really know how to spend our downtime after concerts,” they said. “Now we enjoy simple moments like sharing meals together and creating small memories.”

Massive Crowds in Mexico Left BTS Amazed

The group also revisited their recent visit to Mexico, where they met Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum during the tour.

According to BTS, seeing the enormous crowd gathered in Mexico City’s Zócalo Square was one of the most surprising moments of the trip.

“When we saw the square completely filled with people, we were shocked,” the members said. “At first we couldn’t tell whether there was a festival happening or if everyone had gathered because of us.”

BTS Expresses Pride in New Album ‘ARIRANG’

The members also spoke proudly about their fifth studio album, “ARIRANG.”

“We truly gave it our best,” they said.

Discussing the title track “SWIM,” BTS described it as a song filled with warmth and purpose.

“It’s a romantic song that carries a message about protecting something precious,” the group explained. “Because there are seven of us, we were able to deliver a more universal and relatable message.”

“We’ve Become Real Adults”

Looking back on their journey as a group, BTS reflected on how much they have matured over the years.

“The energy between the seven of us hasn’t changed,” they said. “But as individuals we’ve grown, and as a group we’ve become much more relaxed and understanding. It feels like we’ve truly become adults.”

BTS Heads to Busan for Next Tour Stop

BTS will continue the ARIRANG” World Tour with two highly anticipated concerts at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on June 12 and 13.

The city holds special meaning for members Jimin and Jungkook, both of whom were born in Busan.

To celebrate the concerts, a citywide fan event titled “BTS THE CITY ARIRANG–BUSAN” is being held throughout the month, featuring themed attractions and experiences across major landmarks.

Before concluding the episode, BTS shared a heartfelt message with fans.

“Please continue supporting us so we can finish this tour happily and in good health,” the members said. “Even after all this time, thank you for staying by our side. We hope everyone looks forward to the Busan concerts as well.”
