.@bts_bighit is driving a massive economic boom across North America, with overseas media highlighting "BTS The City Arirang" project for expanding the group's impact beyond its concerts. ๐
Tourism Economics executive Michael Mariano said BTS fans' spending power could rival or even surpass the FIFA World Cup.

Toronto City Council has officially approved a motion on July 30 welcoming @bts_bighit ahead of its "Arirang" World Tour in Toronto.
The plan includes temporarily co-naming part of Yonge Street as "BTS Boulevard," lighting up the Toronto sign in purple and proclaiming Aug. 22-23 as "BTS Weekend." ๐

PATHETIC! The Grammys just deleted a reel from months ago after being exposed where they talked about the new Asian category and the globalization of Asian music, but the most ironic is they just ignored and omitted any mention of BTS, as if they had never existedโwhen it was precisely them who are true pioneers of that global expansion.
This isnโt just a casual omission: itโs erasing from the conversation the very artists who actually drove that change.
The Grammys continue to be exposed as fake and hypocritical! How ridiculous they are!
- Zeena Koda and Frankie Yaptinchay are who spoke in the video, and Zeena is the same person who talked about BTS a few days ago! Hypocrites!

A Vietnamese ARMY who biases Jimin successfully won his $110K shirt at auctionโฆ then also bought Namjoonโs shoes because she wanted to support the charity even more. ๐ฅน๐ป๐ณ
๐: โSince I love Jimin and wanted to support the charity, I went ahead and bought the leaderโs shoes too.โ ๐
She has a generous heart to match her generosity. ๐ฅบ
K-Media reports that @BTS_twt announced they will not submit their music to the 69th Grammy Awards being held next year. The members expressed their decision on their SNS accounts, saying "Rather than being divided by region or language, we hope music can be recognized and loved for what it is itself. To everyone and ARMYs who are always with us, thank you."
This announcement has been interpreted as a boycott of the Grammy Awards. Some months prior, the Grammys separated out the Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and other such Asian music into an "Asian Pop Music Performance" category and this appears to be a criticism of this change.
BTS finished their military service break and came back in March of this year with their 5th full studio album "Arirang", topping both the US Billboard main singles chart (Hot100) and albums chart (Top200).
