BTS Proves Power! Korea Rises as World's 3rd Largest Music Exporter

According to the 'First Half of 2026 Report' by Luminate, a U.S. company, Korea has risen to become the world's third-largest music exporter, following the U.S. and the U.S., thanks to BTS's overwhelming digital and album sales performance.

"Arirang" swept the number one spot on the US Top 10 CD album and vinyl (LP) sales charts just three months after its release! The success of K-pop artists has also been cited as a key driving force leading the revival of the global physical album market.

BTS's class, shaking up the global music market—as expected, isn't it amazing? 💜
