Reading a carefully prepared message from his phone, Jimin addressed the enthusiastic crowd: “You listen to our songs a lot, don’t you? Thank you so sincerely. I never knew this place would be so incredible. You truly know how to have fun! You are the best. See you the day after tomorrow (at the concert). ¡Viva México! I love you, ARMY, more than anyone.” The stadium erupted in thunderous cheers and applause, reciprocating his heartfelt words.

This touching moment quickly became an iconic highlight of the concert, garnering significant media attention. Mexican TV channel ‘Imagen Televisión’ featured the scene in their news broadcasts. ‘El Sol de México’ widely shared excerpts of Jimin’s post-concert social media message, also in Spanish, further amplifying his connection with fans. Even VOGUE LATAM covered the performance, specifically highlighting Jimin’s memorable Spanish greeting video.
