Reflecting on the experience, the members expressed their joy and surprise at the city's fervent energy. "We are feeling the same excitement as we did seven years ago at Wembley Stadium," one member shared. "Thanks to your passion, we had a truly enjoyable time today." Another added, "Many memories of past performances came back, and we were once again surprised by how hot a city London is."

This return to London, approximately seven years after their historic 2019 concert at Wembley Stadium, saw BTS set another milestone. Their performance garnered rave reviews from prominent British publications, including Rolling Stone UK, The Guardian, and The Times.

Since their 2013 debut, BTS has achieved global stardom with hits like "Dynamite" and "Butter." Following a hiatus for mandatory military service, they released their fifth full-length album, "Arirang," in March, with the title track "Swim" and other songs like "Body to Body" gaining significant popularity. The group is continuing their world tour, with upcoming dates in Munich, Germany.
