Claudia Sheinbaum sent a diplomatic letter requesting more shows, after a worldwide scramble for tickets
Huge demand to see K-pop septet BTS has led the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, to formally request of her counterpart, the South Korean president, Lee Jae Myung, that he help arrange more concerts in Mexico.
“Everyone wants to go,” Sheinbaum said at her daily morning press conference on Monday, adding she had sent a diplomatic letter to South Korea’s Lee seeking more concerts.
“Around 1 million young people want to buy tickets, but there are only 150,000 tickets available,” she said.
The chart-topping boy band is set to embark on a global tour in April, shortly after they launch their first new album in three years, Arirang. The band has been on hiatus since 2022 while its members undertook South Korea’s mandatory military service.
