BTS Dynamite's economic effect is MORE than the entire KPOP industry export value

Jesus Christ.

The entire Kpop export value 2018 is $564m dollars. Dynamite economic value is $560m USD. One song from BTS rivals that. EPIC

I totally understand Korean/national pride and duties but you want these guys to be digging ditches for two years instead of helping uplift the entire economy...

And that's not the entire of what BTS releases last year, if they count mots:7, online concerts, merch, bts shops etc, omG how much is that 😲

And Dynamite baby selling like hot cakes

Like the Korean GDP will now include a category just for BTS lol

well I'll be damned - nice

I know this is just a bts thread but if BTS are already 4.65b what about the whole of kpop then?

WTF. Bts carrying the economy since 2018.

This is crazy wtf

And some users still crying about ARMY talking about BTS impacting the economy. We are not kidding about it, it’s not your typical kpop impact. Please get into our level. Ooppss no one can

(Triggered? Yes that’s our impact)

Definitely way bigger than the whole of kpop. This research done by Hyundai was just to analyze how much BTS as a brand contributes to the country’s economy, this isn’t based on their personal income or profits but the country profiting off them. So far I don’t see any kpop groups making this much impact on the country’s economy apart from the usual contribution to their company’s pockets

Wow! A song did that.👍

oh i know that but isn't BTS is still kpop? I mean I know that they pretty much bring in more than everyone else but like what percentage

60-70% maybe? (cos we know that if they bring in more than everyone else then BTS as a percentage of kpop totoal would be at least 50%)

this is impressive! no wonder the president needs bts more than bts needs the president.
