'Why didn't we come sooner?': 5 moments from BTS's first-ever show in Colombia, from 'que chimba' to a Korean singalong

1. A packed stadium and a city on hold: according to Bogotá's Metropolitan Police, more than 53,000 people saw BTS's Colombian debut on Friday night (Oct. 2) at El Campín. Hundreds gathered outside without tickets, the stadium's TransMilenio station was temporarily closed due to crowding and 2,900 officers were deployed on a rainy day when umbrellas were banned inside.

2. 'Hooligan' up top and hits back to back: the 'ARIRANG' tour show kicked off shortly after 8 p.m. with 'Hooligan' and ran through 'Fake Love', 'Fire', 'Mic Drop' and 'Butter'.

3. Two surprises off the script: 'I'm Fine' and 'So What' were added to the setlist for South American fans and sent the stadium into a frenzy.

4. The crowd as the headliner: Colombian ARMY staged a fan project that lit up the stands in yellow, blue and red, the colors of the national flag, sang the Korean lyrics of 'Body to Body' and delivered a 'SWIM' singalong so loud that local press singled it out.

5. Improvised Spanish: the members tried out rehearsed phrases such as 'it's our first time in Bogotá' and even the local slang 'que chimba'. J-Hope said the crowd's energy made them wonder why they hadn't come sooner; Jimin said these were the loudest voices they had ever heard; and V promised to speak better Spanish next time. The second and final Bogotá date takes place this Saturday (Oct. 3).
