An estimated 50,000 fans of the Korean boy band BTS turned Mexico City’s Zócalo into a sea of purple on Wednesday as the K-pop idols stepped onto a National Palace balcony alongside President Claudia Sheinbaum.

The appearance — which did not include any singing or music — came one day before the group was to open its “Arirang” world tour in Mexico.
