El Paso BTS ARMY Launches GoFundMe Campaign to Turn Star on the Mountain Purple for BTS Concert
BTS, the global K-pop sensation, is set to perform at UTEP’s Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso on May 2 and May 3, creating a buzz of excitement among fans, known as ARMY. To welcome the band, local BTS ARMY members have initiated a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to turn the iconic Star on the Mountain purple, a color associated with BTS and their fanbase, symbolizing love, trust, and unity. The El Paso Chamber charges $1,500 per night to change the Star’s color, and the fans aim to cover both concert nights with a $3,000 fundraising goal. The Star on the Mountain has previously been lit in red and white to celebrate the tour announcement, showcasing the city's enthusiasm for BTS. The visible and powerful welcome gesture is a testament to El Paso's support for the band.
