BTS was selected as the first Korean singer to be named Bloomberg 50 by United States of America Bloomberg.
Bloomberg published its Bloomberg 50 article on its official website on the 6th (local time) and released a list of 50 people including key figures including BTS, Jerome Powell, chairman of the United States of America's Federal Reserve Committee, Ben Van Beauarden, CEO of the global company Royal Dutch Shell, Donna Strickland, and Taylor Swift, who won the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physics.
BTS was selected as the first Korean singer and is the only Korean person on the list announced this year.
“In 2018, we selected a person who made remarkable achievements in business, entertainment, finance, politics, technology and science, and published it in the second Bloomberg 50 this year,” Bloomberg said.
Bloomberg said, "BTS selected the BTS for the first place on the Billboards album chart with LOVE yourself 'Tear' in June. It is the first K-pop band to be on the chart, and once again charts with LOVE yourself 'Answer' in August "We have achieved unprecedented success in United States of America."
“The great popularity of BTS is due to the fact that, despite the genres that the younger generation likes, they have been willing to talk about social issues, mental health and politics,” Bloomberg reported.
"BTS's first World Stadium tour ticket sold out in a few minutes, which is another sign that audiences around the world are ready to accept a band with Korea's sensibility."
Finally, Bloomberg said, "Big Hit Entertainment, a subsidiary of BTS, is expanding its scope to movies, games and original YouTube content based on the success of BTS." In March, company sales doubled from last year to $ 86 million. "
The Bloomberg 50, which was announced on the day, will also be published through Bloomberg Businessweek, a Bloomberg weekly magazine.
On the other hand, BTS will hold a LOVE yourself Asia tour at Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium in Taiwan on the 8th and 9th.
