On January 26, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum told media that she had written a letter to South Korean President Lee Jae Myung asking to add more concerts for K-pop band BTS. The request was prompted by an overwhelming demand for the band’s upcoming shows in Mexico City, with tickets selling out in less than 40 minutes, according to local media reports.
The matter also triggered an investigation after fans raised concerns that Ticketmaster and resale platforms may have engaged in dynamic pricing, hinting at a potential lack of fairness and transparency in the ticket sales process.
After a four-year hiatus, BTS is returning for a 2026-27 world tour, scheduled to perform three shows in Mexico City in May this year.
Indeed, the seven-member band is based in South Korea but has taken over the global charts since forming in 2013. Hits like 'Fire' and 'Dynamite' have been streamed billions of times and topped charts worldwide. Their influence also extends beyond music, boosting South Korea’s economy and global profile.
