BTS Tour Generates W450 Billion in Economic Impact... Analysis Says It 'Surpasses the World Cup'

Foreign media reports have highlighted that BTS, currently on their world tour, has generated a massive economic ripple effect in major U.S. cities.

The British daily newspaper The Guardian reported that BTS's concerts held in Las Vegas last May are estimated to have generated an economic impact of approximately 450 billion won.

An economic expert analyzed that just looking at the average spending of fans, the ripple effect rivals or even exceeds that of the World Cup.

Over the past weekend, BTS met with 150,000 fans in New Jersey, U.S.

The concert drew even more attention as it was the first performance held since their Grammy boycott announcement.

Notably, during this stage, member RM changed some of the lyrics to their hit song "Mic Drop" to lines such as "We were born in Korea and they don't know us well," drawing an enthusiastic response from fans.
