BTS meets Mexican president ahead of Mexico City concerts

K-pop boy band BTS met Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum at the presidential residence in Mexico City on Wednesday(local time), greeting the public from the palace balcony ahead of the group's three-night concert run in the capital. Sheinbaum, who confirmed the visit at a regular press briefing earlier in the day, described BTS as a band that "always carries messages of friendship, peace, and love." The meeting carries added weight given the president's longstanding support for the group. In January, she welcomed the confirmation of their Mexico City tour dates, calling it a "historic moment" and noting how long younger Mexicans had waited for the shows. BTS will perform at Estadio GNP Seguros on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. All three shows sold out shortly after tickets went on sale.
