Foreign spending has reached an all-time high. The BTS effect is truly amazing.

Reading this article makes me realize once again just how immense BTS's influence is. It is reported that the spending by foreign tourists visiting Korea in April of this year exceeded 1.3 trillion won, setting an all-time high.

I was particularly impressed by the significant increase in spending following BTS's comeback and concerts. It is truly amazing to see that fans visiting Korea to see the performances are having a positive impact on the domestic economy by shopping, visiting famous restaurants, and experiencing various cultural activities.

It is also noteworthy that 'attending concerts' was the most mentioned activity by tourists. I think BTS's true influence lies in their power to inspire people to visit Korea and experience the culture firsthand, going beyond simply listening to music.
