BTS 영향력 진짜 체감되는 부분인 것 같아요 관광객 늘었다는 말 들으니까 괜히 뿌듯하네요
[talk] As expected, the number of tourists has increased significantly thanks to BTS.
It seems the impact of BTS's full-group comeback was beyond imagination. There is news that during the month of last March, when BTS returned after 3 years and 9 months, the number of foreign visitors entering Korea surpassed 2 million for the first time in history!
According to statistics from the Ministry of Justice, approximately 2.11 million foreigners entered the country during the month of March, a whopping 40% surge compared to the previous month. In particular, considering the significant increase in visa-free tourists, the analysis that ARMYs from all over the world gathered to watch the BTS comeback concert held in Gwanghwamun seems to be perfectly accurate.
Their agency, Big Hit Music, also revealed that a significant number of visitors to the Sungnyemun Media Facade and the DDP 'ARMY Plaza' event, which were prepared to commemorate this comeback, were foreigners. It seems the power of the name BTS has stirred up South Korea's tourism industry, extending beyond just music.
I realize once again how incredible the influence of the seven members is, having reunited after completing their military service.
