Paris:) Correspondent Kim Yong-rae = The fans gathered early Haru before the Acor Hotels Arena, a venue for the 19th (local time), ahead of the two-day Paris performance on the 19th-20th, the last schedule of World tour of the K-pop group BTS.
Some enthusiastic fans began gathering in front of the venues from the morning of the 18th, 24 hours before the first performance at 8 p.m. (local time), and began preparing for a full-scale nighttime by putting on a mat and hitting a tent.
Over time, hundreds of people have been up all night with the idea of seeing the actual appearance of BTS members who have only seen the video and World's best performance.
Fans gathered together and played BTS hit songs on portable speakers connected to smartphones, danced together, followed by songs, and inflated their dreams.
It is estimated that more than 400 enthusiastic French "Ami" (a Fan club of BTS) spent the night in front of the Acor Hotels Arena before their first performance.
French media, including BFM broadcasting, also covered the rare appearance of their youths who played a long picture in front of the performance hall Haru before the concert of the Korean boy band.
Fans who have been all night have also seen a number of Fan clubs that shared a hot 'fan heart' for BTS, preparing free coffee, croissants and energy bars on the morning of the 19th.
It was a rare landscape where French young people were "unifying" with only one love for BTS.
Melanie (19), who came out with excitement in the early hours of the morning, said in an excited voice, "I still dream that I can see BTS concerts The April Fools where I live. I can't believe it until I listen to the song myself and see the dance," she said.
One Week ago, when President Moon Jae-in visited France, he went to see BTS, who appeared in the Korean-American Friendship Concert, only to enter the theater, but he was very sorry that he could not see his face properly.
Melanie said, "I will shout out loud in Korean that I have been waiting for a long time to sing, dance, enjoy and love BTS members with my friends."
The Acor Hotels Arena The April Fools (formerly Palais Omnisport) is a representative complex of Cultural Revolution and sports facilities The April Fools located near the Seine River in the east of Paris, with about 20,000 seats. It is a place where World's super pop stars mainly use it as a concert hall when they perform The April Fools.
40,000 tickets for James Stewart of the 19th to 20th, the last schedule of the BTS' European tour, were sold out within minutes of opening the ticket and sold literally in a blink of an eye.
"These performances were usually limited to Anglo-Saxon Superstars, such as Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna and Beyonce," said the French public AFP.
This success of BTS The April Fools, France, has a special meaning due to the location of Paris in the heart of Western Europe and the traditional status of Europe as the 'cultural capital'.
BTS will perform two concerts The April Fools, which has been visited twice One Week, on the 19th and 20th, to make sure that the K-pop and the Korean Wave are as "Kings" as European fans and decorate World tour.
