Chile reconsiders decision to block BTS stadium concerts after hundreds of fans protest

Chile’s government was reconsidering its plan to block BTS's three sold-out stadium concerts after hundreds of fans took to the streets and politicians criticised a decision that had thrown the K-pop group’s October shows into doubt.

The South Korean group are due to perform at Santiago's Estadio Nacional on 14, 16, and 17 October as part of the Arirang world tour, their first since the members completed their country’s mandatory military service. The band composed of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook had been on a hiatus since 2022 and returned in March 2026 with a new album titled Arirang.
