Lea Salonga, Nic Chien


Lea Salonga and son Nic Chien enjoyed the 'Arirang World Tour' of BTS in New Jersey.

Singer and actress Lea Salonga enjoyed the recent Arirang World Tour concert of K-Pop group BTS at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey together with her son, Nic Chien.

On Instagram, Lea posted several snaps of her and Nic during the soundcheck and the concert proper.

“We made it to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey! I didn't take too many fancams this time, given our seats I wanted to take them in with my eyeballs!” Lea captioned her post.

“Thank you, @bts.bighitofficial for such a fantastic show!!!” the singer-actress added.

Lea also praised the performers who joined BTS on stage, “Huge shoutout to the dancers! We felt like you were dancing just for us!!!”

Back in June, Lea attended the Busan leg of the tour, sharing a photo from the event and describing it as both exhausting and unforgettable.

“Feet hurt... legs are rubbery... but boy what a day! Seeing [BTS] in Busan was worth it!” Lea said.

The Arirang World Tour marks the return of BTS to live performance after their mandatory military service. The tour was first announced in October 2025 as the “largest world tour to date” of the group.

Several celebrity fans, such as Megan Young, Shaira Diaz, and other Kapuso stars and personalities shared their experience from the concert, both from obtaining tickets to the event itself.
