SEOUL - As its ongoing "Arirang" world tour sweeps across North America, South Korean boy group BTS is capturing more than just enthusiastic crowds -- It is inspiring local governments to roll out the red carpet with a series of high-profile official tributes. The council also plans to ask the city to proclaim the concert dates "BTS Weekend." BTS is touring North America after completing European dates in cities including London, Paris and Munich. BTS began its "Arirang" world tour at Goyang Stadium in the northwestern suburbs of Seoul in April. El Paso County, Texas, presented BTS with an "Estimado Amigo" (Dear Friend) award and proclaimed the day of the group's concert "El Paso BTS Weekend."
