An emotional video of a young Indian BTS fan crying after the band skipped India in their 2026 world tour has gone viral. The clip won hearts as her father promised to take her to South Korea instead. BTS will return with their album Arirang on March 20, 2026, followed by a massive global tour spanning 79 shows.

The joy surrounding BTS' long-awaited comeback has been mixed with heartbreak for Indian ARMY. As excitement peaked over the announcement of the global tour, many desi fans were left crushed after realising that India did not make it to the tour list. For some, the disappointment hit deeper than expected, and one young fan’s emotional reaction has now taken the internet by storm.

Desi BTS fan breaks down

A video making rounds on the internet shows a young BTS fan breaking down in tears after learning that the K-pop supergroup will not be performing in India as part of their comeback tour. Clearly overwhelmed, she struggles to hold back her emotions as the news sinks in.

What makes the clip especially heartwarming is her father’s response. Though visibly unfamiliar with BTS or their global fame, he gently tries to console his daughter by hugging and reassuring her. In a moment that has melted hearts across social media, he innocently says, "Give me their phone number; we will make them come."

Watch the video below:

Through tears, the girl explains that BTS are based in South Korea and that attending their concert would require travelling there. Without hesitation, her father reassures her that they will go to South Korea instead and asks her to stop crying. "Hum chalenge South Korea na," stated his father; that left the desi ARMY emotional too.

Why Indian ARMY is feeling left out

The emotional response reflects a larger sentiment among Indian fans. BTS has one of its most passionate fan bases in India, and many were hopeful that the group would finally include the country in their comeback tour. With India missing from the initial list, disappointment quickly turned into an outpouring of emotions online.
