According to reports, more than 60,000 people attended the first night of the BTS concert at the Rose Bowl stadium in Los Angeles, USA.

My daughter introduced me to BTS, so I started listening to music and I really liked them, I think I like them more than my daughter.”

Evidence of this, there were thousands sitting in the parking lot, camping and waiting for the concert.

Kpop fans in the U.S. in general are a very diverse group. Different races, religions, much broader age range, etc. . On my BTS Noona facebook page we have a member who is 71. I'm 58. I've seen many young women who are Muslim attend Kpop concerts in Dallas/Fort Worth area. Men have started attending male kpop groups. Some are tagging along with girlfriends, wives or children but some are fans too. That is what I like about being a kpop fan in the U.S. we sort of try our best to open to everyone.

I agree and to think that BTS performed to only a few hundred fans in the beginning is really amazing. I feel like a proud mother even though I'm only 25. Thank you BTS, thank you ARMYs. I purple you 💜
