'This is the place where they love BTS most in the whole world': J-Hope speaks Spanish, RM scolds fans over drones and the hotel, and the 2nd Lima show ends with a surprise
On the second of three nights at Estadio San Marcos, the 'Arirang' tour brought a purple stadium, chants asking fans to leave the hotel alone and a 'Paldogangsan' closer.

The stands answered with an ovation as the stadium lit up in purple, ARMY's color. According to El Comercio, all seven members — RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — spoke Spanish from the start, and Jungkook challenged the audience to top the previous night's energy.
Before the group even took the stage, fans on the floor and in the stands chanted requests for nobody to go to the band's hotel, responding to an RM message on Weverse about crowds. On stage, the leader explained the message was not only for Peru but for Latin America, Europe, the US and Asia, and asked: 'ARMY, think about it: when have we divided people by their nationality or the continent they belong to?' He also said drones and lasers are not appropriate behavior — and wrapped up with a 'Muchas gracias, los amo, Perú!'
The set revolved around the album 'Arirang', with 'Run BTS', 'Not Today' and 'MIC Drop', and the ending held a surprise: 'Paldogangsan' and 'We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal'. On Saturday (Oct. 10), the group closes its Lima run at the same stadium. The plea to stay away from the hotel was extended to the next South American stops: Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
