BTS Daily Chile⁷ wrote that the seven members of BTS had said goodbye to Chile dressed as huasos, with blankets and chupallas, items described as part of the identity and cultural heritage of the country. The account explained that the huaso was an emblematic figure of rural culture, especially in the central region, and had historically been linked to agriculture, livestock, and horseback life. It also noted that the blankets, generally made of wool, and the chupallas, primarily made of straw or plant fibers, had transitioned from fulfilling practical functions to being recognizable elements of traditional clothing. BTS Daily Chile⁷ added that these garments were connected to rural roots, traditional celebrations, and the cueca dance. According to the account, seeing the members of the group wearing them during their farewell had been a way to connect with Chilean traditions and share part of the cultural identity with ARMY. https://t.co/VhcKMtgMmJ #CulturaChilena #Tradiciones #Huaso (translated)

Arthur Machado stated that if Lula lost the elections on the 25th, sectors of the right that defined themselves by anti-PT sentiment could be left without a central opponent, since, according to him, they had not built an alternative project for the country. Machado criticized a portion of the liberal right, which, in his view, repeated slogans without presenting proposals to attract investments, modernize laws, or promote coexistence with divergent views. He also mentioned that the PT could fragment and compete for space among leaders after Lula. As an example, he cited European sectors that, according to him, reorganized their political identity around fighting other groups, including the radical right. Machado stated that without a consistent national project, former opponents of the PT could start targeting Eduardo Bolsonaro and other movements in search of new adversaries. The author also said that the criticisms of the "5th element" came from groups without a project or knowledge about Brazil and claimed that political groups that treated law as a tool for control, rather than as a guarantee of rights and freedoms, were technocratic and promoted a Chinese governance model. He concluded that the problem for these sectors would be discovering that they never had a project to replace Lula as an opponent. #PolíticaBrasil #Antipetismo #Lula (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia expressed concern over publications that, according to them, used supposed complaints from the BTS team about the gastronomy of certain countries to foster comparisons and rivalries in the region. The group stated that, regardless of the truth of those claims, those who accessed private information or spaces should act responsibly and respect confidentiality. They also pointed out that gastronomy is part of the cultural identity of each country and that using it to discredit or confront nations is disrespectful. They added that those representing establishments, brands, or public platforms should consider the reach and impact of their words. BTS ARMY Colombia affirmed that BTS's tour in Latin America should serve to celebrate cultural diversity, not to fuel disputes about which country had offered a better experience. #RespetoCultural #BTSARMY #DiversidadCultural (translated)
