![beyond_ARMY_'s tweet photo. [BTS LATAM Stage Production]
I can’t believe I have to say this, but a different stage setup per ARIRANG city is not evidence of racism, discrimination or disrespect toward LATAM.
With Bogotá’s first show behind us, let’s clear up a few things about the #BTS_ARIRANG tour.
Our co-admin is a Creative Director with large-scale event production experience. We also checked local reporting, official statements and production sources.
✔️ 1) Bogotá’s stadium is smaller
El Campín holds around 39,000 people. MetLife has 82,500 seats; Wembley has 90,000.
Football ⚽️ and concerts use that space differently: concerts can put fans on the field, too. Bogotá expected more than 53,000 each night for BTS.
More fans inside does not change the stadium’s structure or what it can safely support.
✔️ 2) The touring team and local crews work together
For an article explaining why international shows sometimes look different in Brazil, g1 interviewed concert industry professionals.
Contracts specify what the artist’s team brings and what the local promoter provides. Transport, cost, available equipment and the venue affect those plans.
➡ BTS’s members are not personally booking cranes or calculating weight limits.
✔️ 3) Did you know Bogotá’s setup took days?
Stadium operator Sencia said BTS’s production involved more than 450 people from different countries.
A women’s football final moved to another city because crews needed El Campín to start building the show. That meant protecting the grass, building the stage, installing screens, lighting and sound, and testing everything.
Sencia also described platforms used at previous 360° shows to spread equipment weight across the grass.
✔️ 4) Brazil challenges and issues
At MorumBIS, where BTS will perform, Live Nation explained that concert stages are usually built above the players’ tunnels and need extra support.
➡ Leaving those structures in place would affect fans’ views, safety and access.
That describes the stadium’s usual concert setup. What works in one stadium may need changes in another.
✔️ 5) Chile REQUIRED changes for BTS’s shows
Chile’s Ministry of Sport approved the concerts after organizers revised their plans to protect the field:
• Heavy machinery stays off the grass.
• Cranes operate from the athletics track.
• A protective covering lets the grass breathe.
• An engineering study supports the plans.
These changes are confirmed. The statement does not say authorities ordered the outer screens removed.
✔️ 6) Other productions adapt, too. NOT just BTS
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 🌳 plant costumes helped solve a practical problem: sensitive grass meant limits on equipment carts. People dressed as plants helped create the scene and made setup quicker.
BTS’s Seoul Netflix concert was designed to suit the square outside Gyeongbokgung Palace and respect the historic buildings while bringing BTS’s ideas to life.
Coldplay adapts some shows to use local equipment and materials. U2’s 360° tour used three huge stage systems to keep builds moving.
➡ Different shows, different needs. Where you perform affects how you build.
✔️ 7) Bogotá’s screen setup was planned in advance
Infobae reported that earlier Chilean plans resemble Bogotá’s setup. It also shared an insider’s account that the LATAM plans already omitted the outer screens.
That means the setup was planned in advance, and it's likely due to infrastructure.
Fewer screens in screenshots with people’s opinions saying LATAM gets scraps and BTS is giving them scraps do not mean or prove the production was subpar.
✔️ 8) ➡ Please keep facts and guesses separate.
We have documented examples of stadiums requiring changes. We do not need to invent an explanation for every screen or tower.
Baseless accusations against BTS are not okay. Encouraging fans to attack local event production businesses is shameful.
Being disappointed is okay. Everyone is entitled to their feelings. But, coming at BTS with baseless accusations over production is not being real ARMY. It’s selfish and egotistical.
Don't spread rumors, and cite your source information. Spreading rumors isn't cool.

Fam, don’t buy from scalpers … it’s just the first few days. SFMOMA will be getting more, there’s time. The exhibit is 4 months long
@Miss_Mochi_72 Bookmarking for my trip in January
We are just a few short days away from October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Take your self-exams seriously!
If RM x SFMOMA co-curator América Castillo could only show you four artworks from the exhibition, these would be her picks 🖼️
Less than 2 weeks until it's your turn to discover the art that stay with you✨
@HYBEINSIGHTtwt
WE’RE DOING IT AGAIN. 🖤
Last week, ARMY took Groin to #16 on Worldwide iTunes. This Saturday, we’re coming back for Namjoon with “everything goes”.
But this time, we’re adding another goal:
👑 #1 Worldwide iTunes
🇺🇸 Billboard Digital Song Sales entry
🗓️ SEPT 26
⏰ 1PM KST | 12AM EDT
everything, everything, everything goes.
And everyday I stay.
#WeLoveYouNamjoon
#everythinggoesWithRM
Thanks to all who tried to help push for Groin. Unfortunately #16 isn’t high enough to call it a day, so we are going to try again with “everything goes” this weekend.
I beg of you to help spread the word between now and then. Will be dropping some more info a little later.
