BTS Impact to South Korea Economy

The South Korean government agency Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has revealed the huge impact that BTS have had on the country's economy.

"When PSY was active, the economic effect amounted up to about 1 trillion won ($1.2 billion AUD)," said Do Jong Hwan, the minister of the South Korean ministry of culture, sports, and tourism. "I predict that BTS will easily surpass 1 trillion won."

He continued: "Bae Yong Joon, through the drama Winter Sonata, created an economic value of about 3 trillion won. But when BTS was ranking 1st (on Billboard), the nation did nothing. So, there is something that the nation must do. The country needs to foster many creative talents and help thicken the stratum of creative artists. The nation must connect the right mentors for young individuals and provide the necessary time and space for them to work properly."

What an incredible impact they've had!

I am so proud of them! *cries
