BTS dropped the full Bangtan Bomb of the group’s historic visit to Mexico’s National Palace. In a new video shared Wednesday (May 27) on its official channels, the South Korean K-pop supergroup takes fans on a tour inside the presidential residence with President Claudia Sheinbaum, exploring the gardens and sharing an unforgettable moment as they waved to ARMY from the balcony overlooking thousands of fans gathered in the Zócalo, the country’s main public square.
The five-minute video features content very similar to what Sheinbaum previously shared on her TikTok account on May 7, a day after her meeting with the group. It shows the septet having a brief conversation with the president in the presidential office, receiving an official recognition from the Government of Mexico and the moments leading up to when the band stepped out onto the balcony, where the members were met with the roar of 50,000 people (according to official figures) gathered in the Plaza de la Constitución, the official name of the Zócalo.
