BTS Fans Are Encouraged To Join The Celebration

According to a press release, The “Estimado Amigo” Award is a mini replica of the Lady Justice statue that is located in the El Paso County Courthouse entrance.

Lady Justice, a blindfolded woman carrying a sword and a set of scales, is a common symbol on courthouses in America and inside some court rooms. She symbolizes fair and equal administration of the law, without corruption, favor, greed, or prejudice.

The official resolution and award presentation will take place during a Commissioners Court meeting on Monday, April 27 at 9:30 a.m. at the Enrique Moreno County Courthouse.

This whole moment celebrates BTS heading to El Paso for two back-to-back concerts on May 2nd and 3rd at the UTEP Sun Bowl Stadium.

Beyond selling out stadiums worldwide, BTS is being recognized for their global cultural impact and the positive messages woven into their music.

Also getting their flowers? Noah and Nadia Saenz, the creators behind Borapaso, along with the El Paso TX Official ARMY Group, who will help represent the fanbase that basically manifested this entire moment.
