|January 31, 2026
Huge demand to see K-pop boy band BTS, among the world’s most popular artists, has led Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to formally request of her counterpart, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, that he help arrange more concerts in Mexico.

"Everyone wants to go," Sheinbaum said at her daily morning press conference on Monday, adding that she had sent a diplomatic letter to South Korea's Lee seeking more concerts.
"Around 1 million young people want to buy tickets, but there are only 150,000 tickets available," she said.
The chart-topping band is set to embark on a global tour in April, shortly after they launch their first new album in three years. BTS has been on hiatus since 2022 while its members undertook South Korea’s mandatory military service.
