French President Emmanuel Macron was seen attending a BTS concert at the Stade de France on Friday local time.
He was accompanied by his wife, Brigitte Macron, for the opening night of the seven-member K-pop sensation’s France concert, part of their highly anticipated Arirang world tour. The French presidential couple’s presence quickly went viral across social media platforms.
Following the event, on Saturday Seoul time, President Macron shared a 17-second clip of BTS performing their record-smashing hit ‘Dynamite’ on his official Instagram account. The post was captioned, “Bienvenue a Paris !” which translates to “Welcome to Paris” in English.
This public display of appreciation for K-pop follows President Lee Jae Myung’s state visit to France in April, where he notably gifted autographed CDs from various South Korean pop stars, including BTS, to Brigitte Macron.
