To HYBE Co., Ltd. and Big Hit Music:

As one of the most dedicated and passionate fanbases in the world, the Brazilian ARMY writes this petition to express our unwavering support for BTS. However, we are also here to voice a long-standing concern regarding the logistics of world tours in our country.

Brazil is a country of continental proportions. For years, the strategy of hosting shows exclusively in São Paulo has created insurmountable geographic and financial barriers for millions of fans. The excitement and anticipation surrounding a BTS concert are unparalleled, yet for many Brazilian fans, attending these events remains a distant reality due to the substantial travel costs and time involved.

This petition is personal because cities like Rio de Janeiro boast iconic venues such as the Maracanã and Nilton Santos Stadium, which have a proven track record of hosting global superstars with massive production requirements. Expanding the tour to these cities means more fans can partake in the BTS experience, reinforcing the connection between the band and their supporters.

Moreover, Brazil has consistently been a pillar of BTS’s global success, contributing significantly to viewership on streams, social media interaction, and merchandise sales. We believe the most meaningful way to reciprocate this love is by decentralizing tour dates, allowing fans from different states to experience the group’s message without extreme financial hardship.

Taking BTS concerts to multiple cities in Brazil would also imply economic benefits for the local communities. Concerts drive tourism, increase business for hotels and restaurants, and inject capital into the local economy, promoting a positive cycle of cultural exchange and financial opportunity.

The Brazilian ARMY has always been acknowledged for its fervor and support. We plead with HYBE Co., Ltd. and Big Hit Music to consider the broader Brazilian geography in their logistical planning, thereby honoring the commitment and passion of Brazilian fans. Let us share in the unique and unifying experiences that a BTS concert brings, and make it accessible to all across our vibrant nation.

We kindly urge all fellow fans and supporters of accessibility in music to sign this petition, to make a significant change for the betterment of the Brazilian ARMY and to help bring BTS closer to everyone who supports them in Brazil.
