The four BTS members sat near the front and wore masks inspired by Místico, the Mexican wrestler they seemed to be supporting during the match. Their visit became even more memorable when Místico was thrown close to their seats, giving them an up-close view of the fight. Jin, who took off his mask, He, SUGA, and Jimin were later seen booing the opposing wrestler after Místico was hit and pushed away from the ring.
Even though 4 members attended the event, V and RM were not seen at the wrestling match, but they reportedly spent time visiting art spaces around the city. J-Hope was also not present with the rest. After the event, the members shared photos from their masked outing and showed their excitement about attending the match. Místico also seemed to recognize BTS’ presence by wearing the group’s logo on the back of his outfit.
