The certified ARMY personally watched the said concert to witness them live.
In a post on her Instagram account on Thursday, June 18, Broadway Diva Lea Salonga shared more pictures from her recent trip to Busan, South Korea, which she visited to watch the highly-anticipated concert of K-pop mega boy band BTS.
The Filipina music icon also shared her thoughts on her experience in- and outside the venue.
She wrote, “[…]I planned this trip since very early this year. I wanted 2026 to be a year lived with joy, so this was definitely on the agenda to achieve that. And this trip to South Korea didn’t disappoint!“
Salonga was honest to share that some part of her Busan experience “could’ve gone better,” but the experience of watching the septet live on stage was “amazing.”
“Sure, there are things specific to the Busan experience that could’ve gone better, but [BTS] was amazing and Arirang was a technical and artistic feat,” she wrote. “Kudos to everyone involved in making that gigantic show happen! Shoutout to the dancers too who were spectacular!”
Prior to this, Lea also shared snapshots and videos of her attendance in the show through a series of posts and Instagram stories since last weekend.
Meanwhile, other Filipino personalities who flew to South Korea to witness the same show include the likes of beauty queens Megan Young and Winwyn Marquez, as well as Unang Hirit hosts Mariz Umali and Shaira Diaz.
