BTS went to see wrestling in Mexico: A special welcome for idols
The presence of the artists did not go unnoticed. Although some tried to keep a discreet profile, the public’s enthusiasm was immediate. Jiminfor example, attracted attention by wearing a wrestler’s mask, paying homage to one of the most representative cultural expressions of the country.
One of the most emotional moments occurred when Místico appeared for his stellar fight against Caveman Barbarian wearing a white jacket decorated with the BTS logo and the signatures of the members present. The gesture made it clear that the wrestler is also part of the ARMY and provoked a standing ovation from the audience.
