South Korea’s massive entertainment industry is bracing itself for a sharp drop in earnings as performances by the country’s most popular artists, including K-pop sensation BTS , are being cancelled or postponed amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Days after the boy band performed their new single, On, in a special episode of Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show in New York, they axed three concerts in Seoul meant to kick off their new world tour on April 11.BTS’ last global tour, Love Yourself: Speak Yourself, sold about 49,000 tickets per show and earned an average of US$5.8 million in profits, according to Billboard. The tour concluded with a three-night show in Seoul last October that raked in US$832 million and drew a total audience of 130,000, a research team at Korea University’s School of Business estimated.
BTS member Suga, has donated US$83,000 to the virus-stricken city’s relief efforts.
I am huge K-Pop fan since 2012 when I was introduced to a group called B1A4 when a member of forum that I am no long a member posted their video for Beautiful Target and I decided to check it out then got immediately hocked. BTS is currently my favorite K-Pop group as I have grown away from B1A4 because they have changed a lot in the past few years.
