BTS are continuing their ARIRANG world tour with concerts at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on July 12 and 13 (KST). Munich marks the fourth stop of the group's European leg, with only one more stop in fяαи¢є remaining before they wrap up this part of the tour. The two sold-out concerts, attended by an estimated total of 130,000 fans, once again reaffirm BTS' status as one of the world's most successful touring acts.

Not only did they fill the stadium, but ARMY in Munich also left the members in αωє with their incredible enthusiasm. Fans erupted into cheers the moment the stage lights came on, responded enthusiastically to every interaction from the group, and transformed the entire venue into a dazzling sea of lightsticks. Even as the concert entered its final segment, the energy never faded—especially when the opening notes of Pied Piper began playing as the DJ-selected surprise song.

The entire stadium nearly exploded with excitement as soon as fans recognized the familiar song. Tens of thousands of ARMY sang along with BTS so loudly that, at many moments, their voices even overpowered the members' vocals on stage. The overwhelming response visibly caught BTS by surprise!

After the performance, j-hope excitedly said, "The story that originated here in Germany!", referring to the fact that the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin originated in Germany. RM immediately confirmed, "It's true, it's really true." The legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin served as the inspiration for BTS' Pied Piper, a song that likens the group to the Pied Piper, using their music to enchant fans to the point where they become so absorbed in BTS that they neglect their stu∂ιєs or work.

Meanwhile, Jimin expressed his surprise at the au∂ιєnce's love for the song, saying, "I wonder why they love this song so much." j-hope immediately suggested, "You know I really think that we should include this in the setlist the next time (tour)." Jimin quickly agreed, "Exactly! Next time we have a concert, we have to definitely include this song."

Notably, this marked only the second time BTS have performed Pied Piper as part of the surprise song segment of the ARIRANG tour. The first time was in Tampa, where the song sparked an equally electrifying response from the local au∂ιєnce. Seeing fans in two cities on opposite sides of the world react with the same level of excitement seemingly made BTS realize the unique appeal that Pied Piper has continued to maintain even years after its release, ultimately leading them to make this suggestion.

Unsurprisingly, the proposal was met with overwhelming support from both the au∂ιєnce in Munich and ARMY online around the world. Fans unanimously agreed that Pied Piper deserves to become a permanent fixture in every BTS concert setlist. Global online fans also expressed just how much they love the legendary song:

- BTS: Step One- write ѕєχy song about how army is obsessed with us. Step Two- make song even ѕєχier with choreo. Step three- bafflement: Why are you so obsessed with this song?????

- Thank god thank you Hobi I know i can trust you. Please please i cant with this jealousy anymore just include it in the setlist

- Pied piper for permanent setlist I am BEGGING.Don't bring my hopes up

- Everyone loves Pied Piper, every city is asking and hoping for it. Yes, pls include in the setlist

- BTS played pied piper only twice so far and decided it needs to be added to the next setlist lol they'd have to wrap it up the day they play louder than вσмвs or paradise then
