BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ 🇨🇴

BTS ARMY Colombia pointed out that it seemed like the fanbases had to solve all the problems related to BTS concerts in the country, and added ironically that it was only missing to hold them responsible for the logistical failures of 911. The account said it was time to breathe and move on, and that it would continue to seek new opportunities for BTS in the country. It also expressed hope that this first experience would serve to gather feedback and improve next time, and reminded that for the fanbases it had also been the first time seeing BTS live. #BTS #Fanbases #Conciertos (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia criticized making jokes about harassment and invasion of privacy, stating that these topics should not be treated as a source of mockery. The account warned that as long as it remained active as a fanbase, it would not tolerate harassment of the artists it supported in the country. It also stated that the fandom was becoming what it had promised not to be. #Acoso #Respeto #Fandom (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ asked its followers to appreciate BTS's visit to Colombia without measuring it against experiences in other countries. It pointed out that each place had a different context and that the differences should not be interpreted as a measure of the artists' affection for each audience. The organization recalled the group's first visit to the country and mentioned their expressions, words, questions about why they hadn't come earlier, and apologies. It also acknowledged that some aspects could have been different and stated that there would be learnings for future visits, but it urged not to conclude that what was missing diminished the value of the experience. Regarding the third date, BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ stated that conclusions were circulating that did not necessarily correspond to reality. It said that there was information that could not be shared publicly but maintained that the outcome had not been anyone's fault, and urged not to fill the gaps with rumors. Finally, it called for prudence when talking about the artists and their intentions, and encouraged followers to cherish the memories of the visit and to work towards future opportunities with hope, not resentment. #ARMYColombia #BTS #Reflexión (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia said that when watching the farewell videos of BTS in Colombia again, they noticed that the first fireworks were yellow, blue, and red, like the Colombian flag. The account suggested it could be a coincidence and joked that the audience was looking for signs everywhere after what they experienced. They also highlighted the farewell and described Colombia as "the country of dawns." #BTS_WORLDTOUR #BTS_ARIRANG #BTS #BogotáRecibeABTS #ARMYColombia #BTS #ARMYColombia #BogotáRecibeABTS (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ reminded of their campaign #ARMYCuidaABTS and pointed out that the care for BTS should extend beyond Colombia. As the group continued to perform in different countries, it stated that fans from various places would travel to see them and that some Colombian followers might meet them in another city. The account urged respecting the privacy and rest of the members, avoiding waiting for them in hotels, following their vehicles, or searching for their flights, and not sharing their location. It also urged those traveling to attend their performances to consider their well-being. According to BTS ARMY Colombia⁷, they wanted BTS to be reminded of their followers for the love, music, and shared moments, and not for situations that would affect their tranquility. #ARMYCuidaABTS #EtiquetaARMY #ARMYColombia #ARMYCuidaABTS #ARMYColombia #BTS (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ clarified that the first version of a post by Namjoon referred to Colombia, something that, according to the fanbase, surprised them because they were unaware of a situation related to the hotel during their stay in the country. They said that when he learned what happened at the airport, he acted immediately and called on the community. The fanbase pointed out that Namjoon later edited the post and removed the reference to Colombia. As indicated, the current version referred to the situation occurring in Peru, and the translation shared corresponded to that version. They added that they would not speculate on the reason for the edit and would continue to promote respect for BTS's spaces, privacy, and rest. #BTS #Namjoon #Colombia (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ pointed out that Namjoon had posted a message directed to ARMY from Latin America that day on Weverse. According to the fanbase, he spoke about the situation he was experiencing during his stay in Peru and mentioned that something similar had happened in Colombia, where people remained outside the hotel all day, made noise, and affected his rest and that of other guests. The fanbase stated that they were unaware of what had happened in Colombia and were surprised to learn about it through Namjoon's message. They also said they would share the complete translation and asked the ARMY community to respect BTS's privacy and rest. Additionally, they offered apologies for what had happened and expressed their desire for the relationship with the group to be based on respect and consideration. #BTS #ARMY #Respeto (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia reported that the two performances of BTS at the Nemesio Camacho El Campín stadium brought together more than 100,000 people and generated nearly $99 billion for Bogotá, with an impact on accommodation, gastronomy, commerce, and transportation. According to the publication, 18.4% of attendees came from other countries, mainly Ecuador, Mexico, Venezuela, and Central America, while 25% of the tickets were purchased by people from other regions of Colombia. In total, about 43% of the audience came from outside Bogotá. Flight bookings to the city increased by 46.6% compared to the same period last year, the account added. The publication quoted the District Secretary of Government, Gustavo Quintero, who highlighted the contribution of such events to the economy, employment, tourism, and the international positioning of Bogotá, as well as their role in strengthening the sense of belonging. It also noted that during the two days, a security, mobility, risk management, and public space operation was coordinated. The Secretariats of Government, Security and Mobility, IDIGER, IPES, DADEP, the Metropolitan Police of Bogotá, and the Local Mayor's Office of Teusaquillo participated. The information was attributed to the District Secretary of Government. https://t.co/E9mkt0cmh8 #BogotáRecibeABTS #ARMYColombia #BTS #Bogotá #Economía (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ stated that BTS made history in Colombia with two sold-out nights and over 100,000 ARMY at the El Campín Stadium. According to the account, Bogotá kicked off the South American leg of the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’, and the images shared reflected the energy and excitement of both nights. #BTS_WORLDTOUR_ARIRANG #BTS_WORLDTOUR_ARIRANG_LATAM #BTS_WORLDTOUR_ARIRANG_BOGOTA #BTS #ARMY #Bogotá (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia wrote that they were still processing what had happened during the two days and that seeing each member of BTS in person for the first time had left them with an emotion difficult to express. They described the group as talented and charismatic, and said that their live music had made them fall even more in love with the members. The account noted that the project "Bogotá welcomes BTS" had come from dreams shared by the team months earlier, during a night of anguish. They also expressed their pride in ARMY Colombia and stated that the fandom had shown their love with voices that, as they wrote, moved Bangtan. They added that the promise of the members to return had renewed their energy to continue working towards new dreams. #BTS_WORLDTOUR_ARİRANG_BOGOTA #BTS #ARMY #Bogotá (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ reported that the Colombian flag was one of the fan projects of the BTS Fanbase Union in Colombia. According to the account, the initiative aimed for the group to see the country represented in front of the stage. After last-minute difficulties with logistics and the delivery of materials, the flag was displayed at El Campín during "Come Over." The account said that, with the ARMY Bombs turned off, the colors became visible in the stands and that BTS reacted with surprise and looked at the audience. At the end of the song, the members said, "Wow, Colombia," and also made a reference that the account described as an inside joke: "A Sarabía, Colombia, ieo." BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ pointed out that it referred to a Korean song that the group had related to Colombia and that had appeared as a joke in RUN BTS. The account shared a video of the stadium from another perspective and thanked the people who made the project possible. #BogotáRecibeABTS #ARMYColombia #BTS #Colombia #ARMY (translated)

TOMORROW. ARMY… we are no longer counting days. We are counting hours. 😭💜 Today there was a sound check. Today cameras, lights, stages were adjusted. Today everything started to take shape before our eyes. And while El Campín prepares, we are too. Because after so much waiting, after so many months imagining this moment, there is no distance between what we dreamed and what is about to happen. It's tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll see each other. Tomorrow we live it. Tomorrow all of this becomes real. Nam said it: TOMORROW. We are ready. 💜 #Tomorrow #ARMY #Concierto (translated)

A reflection from Colombia Colombia has just spent one night experiencing the arrival of BTS and, amidst all the excitement, we have also seen how situations that do not correspond or are presented out of context are starting to be attributed to the Colombian fandom. We completely understand the concern regarding what happened at the airport. As a fandom, we also consider it essential that BTS's privacy is respected, and that is precisely why we are vigilant about the actions of Colombian media and attentive to any situation that may violate their rights or privacy. It is not about justifying behaviors that are not appropriate. If something needs to be pointed out, it will be pointed out. If something needs to be corrected, it will be corrected. But that does not mean that the actions of some individuals can be used to generalize about an entire fandom or an entire country. This is the first time BTS is in Colombia, and we are learning as we go. Thousands of people have been working for months, organizing and doing everything possible to ensure these concerts are a safe, respectful, and special experience for everyone. That's why we also ask for responsibility when sharing information. We have seen posts that use images or videos from other areas, other moments, or situations that do not correspond to what happened here to build a narrative about Colombia. That is also misinformation and unfairly affects the image of an entire country. We can talk about what happened, question it, and ask for explanations when necessary. What we do not consider correct is to turn specific situations into a representation of an entire fandom. Our goal remains the same: to protect BTS's privacy, maintain a good atmosphere for ARMY, and ensure that BTS takes the best possible experience from Colombia. And regarding the situations related to production and screens, we believe that it is correct to keep the conversation in its proper context: these are specific issues on which clarifications can be requested directly from the corresponding official sources. Requesting information, transparency, or an official statement does not mean attacking any artist or questioning the concert's execution. We want to enjoy these two concerts. We want to savor them. We want BTS to enjoy Colombia. And precisely for that reason, we will continue to act responsibly, attentive to what happens, and expressing ourselves firmly, respectfully, and professionally. Colombia deserves to be represented responsibly. #BTS #Colombia #ARMY (translated)

🚨 Statement to Caracol News and media Today, September 30, @NoticiasCaracol broadcast live from outside the hotel where BTS is staying and announced that broadcast on their networks. Reporting in real-time where they are or where they are staying puts at risk their safety, that of their team, and that of the citizens, and can provoke crowds. We ask the media to remove content that reveals their location and not to broadcast live from airports or hotels. And to the ARMY community: do not share or comment on information about where they are, do not go to the airport or the hotel, and respect their peace. If you see posts with private information, report them on the platform, without harassing or attacking anyone. Reporting on BTS is welcome. Reporting where they are, is not. 💜 Union of Fanbases of Colombia #BogotáReceibeABTS #BTSenBogotá #RespectForBTS #BogotáRecibeABTS #BTSenBogotá #RespetoPorBTS #BTS #Seguridad #Respeto (translated)

For this reason, there may be differences in color, pattern, position, or finish between one item and another. These variations are part of the manufacturing process and do not necessarily represent a defect. 🧺 GARMENT WASH Applies to: • S/S Photo T-Shirt (Black) • S/S Photo T-Shirt (Gray) • S/S T-Shirt — SOUTH AMERICA Due to this process: ⭐ The star decoration may come off during use or washing; this is not considered a defect. 🎨 There may be color differences between garments depending on the level of processing. 🧺 The color may fade during washing. 🎨 MANUAL SPRAY WASH Applies to the Zip-up Hoodie (Charcoal/Gray). Due to the characteristics of the process, there may be color differences between garments and slight variations in the pattern, position, and finish of the spray. The color may fade during washing. 👉 Therefore, if upon receiving a garment you notice small differences in color, finish, or effect distribution compared to photographs or another unit, this may be due to the manufacturing process and does not necessarily mean that the product is defective. 💜 LIGHT STICK The concert will have effects synchronized with the Light Stick. ✨ BTS OFFICIAL LIGHT STICK VER.4 There will be no need to pair individually by seat through the application.

😭🇨🇴 WE CAN'T HANDLE THIS. First j-hope sharing the Colombian flag, and now Taehyung posting a story with our flag 🇨🇴 and writing in Spanish: “Wait for me! I'm almost there!” 👀 https://t.co/vjQnCN9c46 Seeing this has an emotional weight that's hard to explain. For so many years, we dreamed of the moment when BTS would finally come to Colombia, and now we're watching their own stories along the way, referencing our country and telling us, in some way, that they are almost here. The Colombian flag in their stories. Them talking about Colombia. Knowing that they are coming for these concerts. Everything we ever imagined is happening right before our eyes. 🥹💜 And yes… dear God, we are the protagonists. Finally. 😭🇨🇴 13 years waiting for this moment, and now it turns out we are just days away from living it. Someone pinch us, because this still feels like a dream. 💜 #BTS #Colombia #ARMY (translated)

So many years waiting for this... seriously, it's a dream. Years hearing that it was almost impossible for them to come, that the effort wouldn't be worth it, that we should think about meeting them in another country... Seriously, our hearts are so soft... thank you so much for not giving up ARMY Colombia 😭🇨🇴🫂 #ARMYColombia #SueñosHechosRealidad #Gracias (translated)
