The group kicked off the tour with three big shows at Goyang Stadium in Seoul and performed a mix of brand-new songs and their all-time favourite hits. But not everyone was happy with the shows.

Did BTS RM Shut Down Haters Criticising Arirang World Tour With This Post?
On April 13, 2026, BTS leader RM, also known as Kim Namjoon, posted a carousel on Instagram. It featured his solo pictures, behind-the-scenes glimpses from the world tour, and one special picture with a wise saying: “Even great wonders like the pyramids receive negative comments when someone feels down from criticism.”
Fans saw this as RM’s subtle way of replying to the mixed feedback about the first three concerts at Goyang Stadium. Around 132,000 people attended those shows in person, with millions more watching the live stream online. The performances featured a 23-song list that mixed tracks from the new Arirang album, along with beloved older songs.
For the unversed, BTS’s concert received mixed reviews. Some people pointed out less energetic dance moves, especially during older songs, and expressed disappointment. Others talked about the overall show setup, no solo songs, and other stuff.
