BTS’ Taehyung made headlines once again after he appeared with fellow members at the National Palace of Mexico City on May 6, 2026. Clips taken by fans who had gathered outside the building that day rapidly circulated online.
One particular video grabbed ARMY’s attention, where the 30-year-old idol was seen assisting Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, with the mic. The fandom went on various social sites to commend Taehyung for his chivalrous actions and for being respectful around women.
One fan raved over the viral clip and wrote on X:
“A GENTLEMAN THROUGH AND THROUGH.”
Many fans remarked how the K-pop idol was previously spotted being a complete gentleman with women around him. His thoughtful gestures to make the president comfortable while delivering her speech won over the fandom once again. Some pointed out how Taehyung even had an old-school charm about him.
Fans posted older pictures of the idol with influential figures like the former editor-in-chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour. She had personally invited him to the Vogue World event in 2025. They also praised his willingness to honor every culture while trying to speak different languages in the countries they visit.
50k people gather outside Mexico City’s National Palace for BTS as Taehyung delivers a speech in Spanish
It was a memorable day for the fandom as the boy group amassed a crowd of estimated 50,000 people on short notice outside the National Palace. Some of the members took turns to address the crowd, with Taehyung opting to speak in Spanish.
He started by acknowledging that he doesn’t speak the language well, but he is still going to try. Then the singer asked his fans if they missed BTS, to which the crowd responded with loud cheers. He added that they missed Mexico as well and thanked the fans for giving them love and support.
Meanwhile, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo shared a picture of the massive crowd outside the government building on X and captioned:
“With a beautiful simplicity, BTS greeted their A.R.M.Y and nearly 50,000 people who gathered in the zócalo to welcome them. It brings me great joy to have been able to give them this moment of jubilation. The group conveys positive messages in their songs that foster a culture of peace and inclusion.”
The septet is all set to perform at the Estadio GNP Seguros across three dates. The tickets for their shows on May 7, May 9 and May 10, 2026, have reportedly sold out.
