In May came <b>Love Yourself: Speak Yourself<\/b>, in stadiums only: the Rose Bowl, in Pasadena, Chicago, MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey, and then <b>Allianz Parque, in S\u00e3o Paulo<\/b>, with two packed concerts on May 25 and 26, the only stop in South America. Next came <b>Wembley<\/b>, in London, Stade de France, in Paris, Osaka and Shizuoka, in Japan, the historic concert in <b>Riyadh<\/b>, Saudi Arabia, and the finale, <b>The Final<\/b>, with three nights at Seoul Olympic Stadium. According to Wikipedia, the Speak Yourself leg drew 976,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With fans, there was the <b>5th Muster \u201cMagic Shop\u201d<\/b>, in Busan and Seoul, in June, the 6th anniversary <b>BTS FESTA<\/b> and the Japanese \u201cMagic Shop\u201d fanmeeting in Chiba and Osaka.

For ARMY in Brazil, it was the year of the two concerts at Allianz Parque. And, in the middle of it all, the seven stopped to rest, a choice we could only applaud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what came next changed everything again: 2020 brought Map of the Soul: 7, \u201cON\u201d, \u201cDynamite\u201d, their first No. 1 on the Hot 100, and the album BE.
