BTS has made into 'Bloomberg 50.'
The 'Bloomberg 50' is a list of "people in business, entertainment, finance, politics, and technology, and science whose 2018 accomplishments were particularly noteworthy."

Citing from the magazine, "BTS owes its popularity to its willingness to address social issues, mental health, and politics, despite being in a genre often painted as bubble gum. Tickets for its first worldwide stadium tour sold out in minutes, another sign that audiences are ready for bands with Korean sensibilities. Based on BTS’s success, Big Hit Entertainment, which manages the band, is expanding into movies, games, and original YouTube content; in March it said revenue more than doubled last year, to $86 million."
The magazine also highlighted BTS' achievement, topping Billboard's album charts with 'LOVE YOURSELF: Tear' in June and with 'LOVE YOURSELF: Answer' in August.
Congratulations to BTS!
