[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] The group BTS successfully wrapped up its North American tour, drawing an audience of approximately 1.92 million people. All 31 concerts held across 12 cities were sold out, once again proving the group’s global popularity.

According to their agency, Big Hit Music, BTS held concerts at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, USA, on the 1st–2nd and 5th–6th, bringing their North American tour to a close. The Los Angeles concerts drew approximately 282,000 attendees across four shows, showcasing tremendous enthusiasm.
During this tour, BTS traveled to major North American cities, primarily performing at large stadiums, to meet with their fans. Every concert was sold out, and the cumulative attendance reached approximately 1.92 million people. It is widely regarded as an overwhelming success not only in terms of the number of performances but also in terms of audience size.
The records set at SoFi Stadium are also noteworthy. Following their 2021 concerts, BTS has now performed there a total of eight times across this tour. As a result, they have set the record for the group that has held the most concerts at SoFi Stadium. The cumulative audience at this venue alone has reached approximately 496,000.
The local atmosphere surrounding the Los Angeles concerts was also extraordinary. The City of Los Angeles designated September 1–8 as “BTS Week” to commemorate BTS’s visit. Related events took place not only around the venue but throughout the city, creating a festive atmosphere.

Similar trends emerged in other parts of North America. Cities such as Toronto and Illinois declared “BTS Weekends” and “BTS Days,” highlighting BTS’s concerts as local cultural events. This demonstrated the group’s influence extending beyond mere concerts to mobilize local communities and businesses.
Major local media outlets also focused extensively on BTS’s North American tour. The Los Angeles Times highlighted the group’s global recognition and the cohesion of their fanbase, while Forbes examined the economic ripple effects of the concerts and their impact on local culture as a whole.
This North American tour was particularly significant not only for drawing massive crowds but also because local communities designated their own commemorative days and major media outlets analyzed the economic and cultural ripple effects. This is why observers are noting that BTS’s concerts have expanded beyond mere music events to become city-wide festivals.
Having completed their North American schedule, BTS is now shifting their focus to South America. Starting in Bogotá, Colombia, on the 2nd of next month, they plan to continue their tour through Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, and other cities.
