Jin of BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) revealed his recent situation. Yesterday (17th), Jin posted several photos on his SNS without any special comments, conveying his current state. In the released photos, he visited a theme park in America wearing a simple outfit of a white short-sleeve T-shirt, denim pants, and a black cap. The photos captured him enjoying his vacation without being conscious of the surrounding gazes, while the faces of the visitors were hidden with the words 'people' and 'human'. BTS is currently holding their world tour 'ARIRANG'. According to the latest UK Official Chart (from August 14 to August 20), BTS's 5th full album 'ARIRANG' ranked 59th in the 'Official Albums Top 100', marking 21 consecutive weeks on the chart.
As BTS announced they would not submit entries for the Grammys, the Recording Academy drew attention by suggesting it may review its newly created Best Asian Pop Music Performance category. CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said some artists felt the category could not represent their music and stressed the Academy would keep adapting so musicians feel respected. Billboard interpreted this as a possible restructuring of the category from next year. Mason also said the category was created to celebrate the depth, diversity, and growth of Asian pop music, not to exclude artists, and that entering genre categories does not prevent eligibility for the major general-field awards.
On the morning of the 31st, BTS members SUGA, J-HOPE, and Jimin arrived in Korea via Incheon International Airport after finishing their North America tour, 'ARIRANG'. The article includes photos from local media, and it notes that BTS also won a major award at the American Music Awards after five years.
On the afternoon of the 30th, BTS members Jin, Jungkook, RM, and V returned to Korea via Incheon International Airport after their successful North American tour, which attracted approximately 840,000 fans. As anticipation builds for their upcoming Busan concert, President Lee Jae-myung has called for measures to address rising accommodation costs, warning it could harm the city's image.
BTS's 5th full album 'ARIRANG' maintains its position at No. 2 on the 'Weekly Top Album Global' chart and has achieved gold certification in the UK. The title track 'SWIM' ranks 4th globally and has seen significant movement in various charts. BTS continues to dominate with multiple tracks charting and is set to conclude their North American tour soon.
BTS kicked off their North America tour in Tampa, performing 15 sold-out shows across five cities. The tour generated significant economic impact, with estimates of up to $2 billion in local benefits. Their performances not only showcased their music but also heightened interest in Korean culture, as noted by local media and academic experts. BTS's influence was evident in their interactions with local leaders and communities, further solidifying their global impact.
BTS's music video for '2.0' from their 5th album 'ARIRANG' surpassed 100 million views on YouTube. The video features a creative homage to the film 'Oldboy' and highlights BTS's evolution with a captivating performance. The song, blending hip-hop and trap, showcases their confidence and has charted on Billboard's HOT 100, demonstrating their significant impact in the global music scene.
As BTS's concert in Busan approaches, hotel prices have skyrocketed, with some rates increasing by up to 3.3 times. President Lee Jae-myung urged for improvements to prevent damage to Busan's image and called for fair pricing practices. Local authorities are taking measures to address the issue and ensure a positive experience for fans.
Jungkook of BTS raised questions about the sudden suspension of his Instagram account, which Instagram attributed to violations of intellectual property policies. He posted a question mark on Twitter after discovering the suspension. Meanwhile, BTS recently made a successful comeback with their album 'ARIRANG' and is currently on a world tour, performing in various cities.
Jungkook of BTS surprised fans by releasing a Vlog that captures his daily life during the world tour.
