Videos from the concert quickly spread across social media platforms, with ARMYs sharing clips of the unexpected moment. The reactions of fellow BTS members also added to the viral buzz. Several members appeared surprised and entertained after spotting Taehyung calmly eating during the show. Fans especially loved the expressions of J-Hope and Jungkook, who looked visibly shocked while watching him enjoy the snack in the middle of the concert.

The banderilla moment became one of the biggest talking points from BTS' Mexico stop. According to reports, the singer approached one of the food stalls located inside the venue during the group's "IDOL" performance segment, where members moved around the stadium greeting fans. Staff members at the stall happily handed him the snack, while the crowd erupted into cheers and laughter.

Soon after the moment went viral, online discussions emerged over whether the snack had been properly paid for. Fans later learned that BTS' staff reportedly returned to the stall before the group's second concert to pay for the banderilla Taehyung had eaten. However, the workers at the food stall refused to accept the money and instead said the snack was a gift for the singer. Mexican ARMYs praised both the staff and Taehyung's team for the respectful gesture, and many fans joked that "Mexico invites BTS."

Taehyung's spontaneous food adventures became hugely popular online because fans felt they showcased his natural and playful personality. Many ARMYs praised the idol for openly embracing Mexican culture and enjoying local snacks during the tour. The moments also helped boost attention for the local food vendors, with some businesses reportedly seeing increased popularity after being associated with the BTS singer.
