BTS privacy concerns during ARIRANG world tour

Overview

During the ARIRANG world tour, members of the South Korean group BTS have addressed ongoing privacy concerns caused by fan behavior. During a concert in Lima, Peru, RM and J-Hope spoke to the audience regarding disturbances. RM specifically addressed noise from fans gathering outside hotels, noting that such incidents have occurred in Latin America, Europe, the United States, and Asia. He criticized specific actions, such as the use of drones and pointing lasers at hotel windows, describing them as “not correct”.

In response to these issues and direct pleas from the group, the BTS Costa Rica fanbase issued a formal statement to the global ARMY fandom. The appeal urges fans to respect the privacy of members by avoiding pursuits at airports, hotels, and restaurants, and by refraining from sharing private itinerary or accommodation details. The fanbase emphasized that following the artists requires responsibility, particularly as the tour continues through countries including Chile, Brazil, and Argentina.
