K-pop sensation BTS performed for 230,000 fans in Europe during its “Love Yourself: Speak Yourself,” tour in Europe, giving them “Beatles”-like magic.

The septet’s producer Big Hit Entertainment on Monday declared success in all BTS concerts - June 1-2 show at Wembley Stadium in London and June 7-8 gig at Stade de France in Saint Denis, Pulse reported.

American musician Halsey made a surprise appearance to perform “Boy With Luv” with the band for the first time on its world tour in Paris opening. 

The reviews were equally raving. 

“BTS have made history by becoming the first South Korean group to headline Wembley Stadium,” reported BBC. British music journalism website NME exclaimed BTS proved why they are “the world’s biggest pop group” through its performance in Wembley.

“BTS blew a wind of madness at the Stade de France, near Paris, cheered by tens of thousands of fans who came to listen to their idols in a spectacular concert,” reported Le Monde, saying “the seven stars of BTS are the most lucrative musical export and the best known of South Korea.” 

Vanity Fair France also praised, “The sixties had the Beatles, the 2010s will have BTS.” 

Meanwhile, BTS will be hosting its fifth fan meeting event dubbed “Magic Shop” on June 15-16 in Busan and June 22-23 in Seoul.
