Post-Tokyo Dome: 110,000 Fans, Global Media Reviews Hail BTS's Historic Japan Return
Following the completion of BTS's two-night Tokyo Dome run (April 17–18), international and Korean media publish comprehensive reviews and wrap-up coverage on April 19. The Japan Times ('After years away, BTS and its fans reunite at full volume') highlights the emotional reunion between BTS and Japanese fans after approximately seven years. Starnews Korea reports BTS's post-show reaction: 'We are so happy and overjoyed,' noting that 110,000 fans filled Tokyo Dome over two nights and sang 'Arirang' in unison during 'Body to Body.' The Korea Herald covers the concerts as the first overseas leg of the ARIRANG World Tour. The Tokyo Dome run coincided with ARIRANG's third consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (K-pop first) and Night 2's global cinema broadcast to 3,500+ theaters in 75 countries. The ARIRANG World Tour advances to North America next: Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida (April 25–28), the first of ten North American stadium dates.
