Before the show, group members visited President Claudia Sheinbaum at the National Palace on May 6. RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook greeted thousands of fans at the Zocalo.

During the performance, BTS played tracks including 'Boy in Luv' and 'So What'. The members promised to include Mexico in future tours and expressed joy at reuniting with the Mexican ARMY.
