[Dispatch=Yuha Sky Reporter] BTS has set another milestone in London, England. BTS held the world tour 'Arirang' at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on July 7-8 (Korea time). They spent two days with approximately 130,000 ARMY (fan club name). The concert sold out all shows immediately upon ticket release. According to the concert organizers, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium drew its record-breaking audience since opening in April 2019. BTS held their first solo concert as a Korean artist at Wembley Stadium in June 2019. They returned to London after approximately seven years to set a new record. London was heated with enthusiasm for BTS even before the concert. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium also highlighted their concert on its official SNS, referring to BTS as "Pop Royalty." BTS captivated the venue over two days with perfect live performances and choreography. They heated up the stage with new songs such as 'Hooligan,' 'Normal,' and 'Body to Body,' as well as global hit songs like 'Idol' and 'Fire.'" The members shared their thoughts, saying, "We felt the emotion from Wembley Stadium seven years ago once more" and "Thanks to your passion, we had an enjoyable time. We were amazed once again that 'London is such a heated city.'" Praise from local foreign media followed. Rolling Stone UK and The Guardian gave the concert five out of five stars. Rolling Stone UK highly praised them, saying, "BTS has reclaimed the throne as the world's biggest band." The Guardian compared the stage to a film, saying it was "an incredibly fun spectacle" and "BTS's power is strong." British NME noted the Korean identity woven throughout the performance. Meanwhile, BTS will continue their European tour at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on July 12-13. They are set to make history once more as the first Korean artist to perform at the venue.
