Justin Bieber praised BTS members for their success

Now, even the world superstars in the field of music acknowledged BTs and one of them is the 26-year-old Canadian pop star, Justin Bieber. In an exclusive voiceover for E! News, Hailey Baldwin’s husband gushed over the South Korean boy band and shared that the BTS’s “Dynamite” track is a big deal.

He explained that this is so because the song is BTS’ first English-language song piece. Secondly, “Dynamite” made history on YouTube when it recorded an unmatched number of views within 24 hours after its release.

The music video was also named as the “most commented” on the site. Lastly, BTS was able to secure the no. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart. This also made the group the first-ever South Korean act to claim the highest spot.

"If anyone knows how to make history, it's BTS. The K-Pop group has been shattering records across the global music industry," Bieber told E! News. "From ringing in the New Year in Times Square to Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, they performed in Grand Central Station for ‘The Tonight Show’ and wowed at this year's virtual VMAs."

Kpop concert platform to be launch by the Korean government

Meanwhile, amid the overwhelming success of BTS, it was reported that the South Korean government is willing to invest in building an online Kpop concert platform. This idea came about due to the coronavirus pandemic while also wanting the global audience to continue supporting the Kpop world.

As per Pulse News, the Ministry of Economy and Finance stated early this week that it will allot KRW696.1 billion or around US$586.6 million for the “K+X budget.” This will be used to promote not just Kpop and the Korean musicians but also to further spread the Korean culture around the world. It was shared that the biggest inspiration for this project is BTS who was able to conquer the world.
