BTS has completed its first-ever concerts in Peru with major attendance figures, drawing approximately 151,500 fans across three sold-out shows in Lima.

The group held *BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN LIMA* at Estadio San Marcos on October 7, 9, and 10.

The Lima stop was originally planned for two concerts, but strong local demand led to a third show being added. All three dates ultimately sold out.

During the concerts, BTS greeted the audience in Spanish with *“Los amo,”* meaning “I love you,” and expressed their excitement over finally performing in Peru.

The members shared, *“Your energy is incredible. It makes us wonder why we only came to Peru now.”*

Jimin, whose birthday falls on October 13, also thanked local fans for supporting BTS from across the world.

He said, *“I will live without forgetting that all of you on the other side of the world have always given us so much love.”*

Beyond the concert attendance, BTS’s visit is also expected to have a significant economic impact on Lima.

Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism, MINCETUR, estimated that more than 50,000 people would travel to Lima because of the concerts, generating around 18.7 million USD in tourism-related activity.

The Lima Chamber of Commerce offered an even broader estimate, projecting that increased spending on hotels, transportation, food, and other services could create an economic impact of up to 200 million Peruvian soles.

The surge was also visible in local transportation. According to Peruvian media outlet El Comercio, ride-hailing service Cabify reportedly saw requests for trips to the stadium rise as much as 15 times above normal levels on the first concert day. After the show, demand reportedly climbed as high as 48 times the usual level.

With 151,500 attendees across three sold-out concerts and significant spending expected across Lima’s tourism and service industries, BTS’s first Peru stop became one of the largest events of the group’s current South American tour.

BTS will continue *BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’* with upcoming concerts in Santiago, Chile, followed by stops in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and São Paulo, Brazil.
