Kapuso reporter Mariz Umali described her experience of attending BTS's concert in South Korea as a "dream come true."
Mariz Umali was one happy ARMY as she got to watch BTS's much-awaited comeback tour in Goyang, South Korea.
The Kapuso journalist shared photos of her and her husband, fellow GMA News reporter Raffy Tima, having fun on the first day of the concert, as well as videos of the Korean supergroup's performances on stage.
Along with these, Mariz shared her wonderful experience and expressed how happy she was to see BTS perform live.
“I'm still over the moon. It honestly hasn't fully sunk in yet—it all feels so surreal. This was once just part of my bucket list back when the Bangtan boys were on hiatus. I never expected it to happen this soon… and at their kickoff concert, of all moments. When you really put your dreams out into the universe, everything somehow aligns to make them happen.
“Seeing them complete for the first time made me admire them even more. Not just because they're incredibly talented and good-looking, but because of how humble they are. They stood in the rain, just like all of us ARMYs—fully present, just soaking in the moment with everyone.
“This is definitely a core memory I'll carry with me forever. Thank you for the music and the magic, BTS,” she wrote.
Mariz also thanked her spouse for being with her during the concert.
In a separate post, the Unang Hirit host described this unforgettable experience as a "dream come true."
"This is truly a dream come true!!! Naluluha ako!!! Thank You so much, Lord, for this opportunity--not just to see BTS complete in person, but to witness history unfold as the worldwide phenomenal boyband makes their comeback here in Goyang, South Korea!" she wrote.
Aside from Mariz, Sparkle stars Shaira Diaz, EA Guzman, and actress Megan Young were also in attendance at BTS's concert.
Meanwhile, BTS is set to return to Manila for a two-day show on March 13 and 14, 2027 as part of their world tour.
