Preparations and recent developments for the BTS ‘ARIRANG’ world tour in South America have led to various logistical, security, and infrastructure responses.

In Argentina, DF Entertainment confirmed that Argentine artist of South Korean descent, Anita B Queen, will open the three scheduled shows at the Estadio Único de La Plata on October 21, 23, and 24.

In Peru, high demand for performances at the Estadio de San Marcos has caused a surge in the secondary ticket market, with resale prices on platforms like Viagogo and Facebook Marketplace exceeding 7,000 soles. To manage the concerts on October 7, 9, and 10, the Municipalidad Metropolitana de Lima and the National Police of Peru (PNP) have implemented a security and transport plan involving 450 officers per date and 180 buses provided by the ATU. The Public Prosecutor's Office has inspected the stadium to verify structural safety and evacuation routes. Authorities have also prohibited alcohol sales during the events and continue to deny rumors regarding a temporary stadium closure.

In Bogotá, performances at Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín set new attendance records, with over 53,000 fans per night, surpassing previous records held by Karol G and Coldplay. The intensive use of the venue caused notable damage to the pitch, prompting the stadium administrator, Sencia, to activate an agronomic contingency plan involving fertilization, aeration, and reseeding before mid-October football matches.

As the tour moves toward Chile, recent mudslides in the San Carlos de Apoquindo area of Las Condes have raised concerns regarding upcoming concerts at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos on October 14, 16, and 17. While the stadium is approximately 12 kilometers from the affected zone and not under a Red Alert, officials noted that prolonged heavy rains could impact logistics, public transportation, and production movement.
