BTS' return fuels hopes of boost to South Korea's economy
The return of K-pop phenomenon BTS is raising hopes that it can revive South Korea's slowing economy, which has been weighed down by uncertainties over US tariffs and domestic political turmoil. The Korea Culture and Tourism Institute previously estimated that a single BTS concert in Seoul could inject up to US$895 million into the Korean economy and create as many as 10,000 jobs. BTS will make its comeback as a full group with a new album and tour in spring next year. CNA's senior Korea correspondent Lim Yun Suk reports.
