BTS’s Jin has once again captivated global fans by sharing exclusive photos from his highly anticipated Mexico concert.
On May 15, Jin posted various images from his Mexico performance, including behind-the-scenes moments, on his official Instagram account.
BTS successfully concluded their ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN MEXICO CITY’ at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on May 8th, and from May 10th to 11th (Korean Standard Time). During these concerts, Jin commanded the stage, earning enthusiastic cheers from the audience with his clear, powerful, and captivating vocals alongside his dynamic performance.
The shared photos notably feature Jin on stage, sporting a stylish wide-brimmed hat. Also revealed were glimpses of his face projected on the jumbo screen and a striking side profile while he awaited his performance.
During his performance, Jin wore a distinctive white jacket given to him by Lucha Libre legend Mistico at a traditional Mexican professional wrestling match. This special jacket featured the names of BTS members, including Jin, personally inscribed by Mistico, along with signatures from all the BTS members.
Jin’s impact in Mexico was undeniable, with his merchandise T-shirts rapidly selling out. The excitement surrounding the concerts extended globally, with real-time trends on X (formerly Twitter) in various countries, including the US, featuring popular phrases like “MI AMOR JIN IN MEXICO” (My Love Jin in Mexico), “EL GUAPO JIN IN MEXICO” (Handsome Jin in Mexico), and “EL MARIAJIN IN MEXICO” (The Mariachi Jin in Mexico).
The Mexican public’s reaction to Jin was also widely propagated online. Concert videos of Jin were extensively shared across platforms like TikTok and Instagram, garnering comments such as, “I’m not even a BTS fan, but I completely fell for Jin,” and “I’m a man, and I’m utterly captivated by Jin.”
Further testament to his captivating presence, the official YouTube Latin America account left a comment on a related Instagram video, affectionately declaring, “Brother Jin. You are now Mexican.”
Mexican national TV news channel ‘Imagen Noticias’ prominently featured Jin’s image in their thumbnail when reporting on BTS’s Mexico tour. Jin also took center stage in news reports covering the members’ attendance at a professional wrestling event. Major Mexican media outlets frequently used two-shots of Jin and Mistico as article thumbnails, highlighting their interaction.
Mistico himself initiated contact with Jin, who was seated in the first row of the audience, extending a hand for a handshake and a hug. Following this memorable encounter, Mistico began following Jin and other BTS members on social media, cementing their newfound connection.
Adding to the celebrity endorsements, Mexican WWE star Berto (Humberto Carrillo) proudly authenticated Jin’s pre-release on his Instagram. Furthermore, actor Eddy Vilard attended the concert and openly shared multiple videos he filmed of Jin, vividly demonstrating Jin’s immense global buzz and undeniable influence as a true international icon.
