Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum revealed that she sent a letter to President Lee Jaemyung requesting additional shows for BTS' world tour concerts.

During a press conference on the 26th, President Sehinbaum said, "The world-famous K-pop group BTS are scheduled to perform in Mexico in May. However, I heard that many young people were unable to get tickets." She added, "About 150,000 tickets were sold in Mexico, but more than 1 million people wanted to go."

President Sheinbaum emphasized, "With 3 shows confirmed in Mexico City, I made a polite diplomatic request to the South Korean President to let BTS visit Mexico more often."

She added, "If additional shows are difficult, I hope that alternatives such as screening the concert on large screens could at least be permitted."

Meanwhile, BTS is set to hold a world tour with 79 shows across Asia, North America, Europe, South America, and Oceania. They will start their American tour on April 25-26 and 28 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, followed by concerts at GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City on May 7, 9, and 10.
