[Theqoo] Korean netizens are once again amazed by Jungkook's global popularity

Image
  [ Theqoo  — 260507] Jungkook from BTS has even appeared in an American educational world biography series as the first Korean person to do so. So cool so cool. Not long ago, Jungkook became the first Korean person to be featured in an American educational book introducing global stars. And now, he is reportedly set to appear in a world biography series as well (*What's more surprising is that both books are from different publishers). It is part of My Itty-Bitty Bio , an American biography series created for children's education. Since 2016, the series has covered historical figures such as Geroge Washington and Thomas Edison, making it a long-running series with nearly a decade of history. Recently, the series has started featuring modern figures such as athletes and pop stars. And reportedly, Jungkook is the first and only Korean person to be included so far. Comments: 1. Jungkook really does get mentioned causally in everyday life. When I was living in Canada, I remember ...

  [ Theqoo  — 260507] Beatles, Michael Jackson, and BTS Beatles, Michael Jackson and BTS. Pop music's big 3 from 3 different generations. pic.twitter.com/5wYtwczxb1 — steph ⊙⊝⊜ (@gomdorichick) May 7, 2026 They say these are the artists who have been invited to Mexico's National Palace and greeted people from the balcony up until now. (It's just a joke/meme —not saying they're on the same level as the Beatles or Michael Jackson). Comments: 1. They're honestly so incredible and moving  — truly living legends. 2. Are BTS in the last photo???? Where are they? That crowd is absolutely insane. 3. Ohh, so I guess not many artists have been invited there. And even if there were, there probably weren't many artists who drew a crowd that huge. 4. Why do people like them that much? The people they used to be in the past have all changed and aren't the same anymore. 5. This is insane lol. Honestly, I think younger generations after me might appreciate BTS even more. Sin...

The Reason Why Jungkook Chose a Different Outfit From the Other BTS Members During the Visit to National Palace

Image
  On May 6 (local time), BTS met with Claudia Sheinbaum at National Palace. The visit took place following an official invitation from President Sheinbaum ahead of the group's three-day concert series at Estadio GNP Seguros. The meeting lasted approximately 40 minutes. The Mexican government welcomed BTS with honors reserved for "Distinguished Guests" and presented the group with a commemorative medal in recognition of their positive contributions. The inscription on the medal highlighted how BTS has inspired Mexican youth through music while also helping foster a community built on respect, empathy, diversity, and peace. Following their conversation with President Sheinbaum, all seven members stepped onto the balcony with her to greet around 50,000 people gathered at Zocalo. The members spoke in Spanish to express their affection for fans, saying, "We really missed Mexico" and "Thank you for always supporting us." In response, tens of thousands of fan...

HYBE Idols Admits the Difficulty of Getting Close to BTS

Image
  At present, the HYBE Labels system manges numerous active idol groups through its various subsidiaries and sub-labels. If we count only currently active K-pop idol groups, there are approximately ten. In addition to BTS, notable examples include SEVENTEEN, TXT, ENHYPEN, CORTIS, KATSEYE, and LE SSERAFIM, among others.  Because they all belong to the same umbrella label, it is easy to see that BTS members have close relationships with members of those groups, J-Hope collaborated with Le Sserafim on the track "Spaghetti" and also filmed a video to support Cortis. Jin and TXT's Beomgyu are well-known for their close friendship, to the point that Beomgyu frequently visits Jin's home. Jungkook and SEVENTEEN's Mingyu are long-time close friends as part of the famous '97-line, and so on. In particular, BTS are widely known as idols with friendly and kind personalities. Even as top-tier global superstars, they remain humble and treat everyone around them with sinceri...

HYBE Reports a Surge in Q1 2026 Revenue Fueled by BTS's Comeback

Image
  According to the Korea Tourism Organization, the number of foreign visitors to South Korea in March reached 2,046,000, marking a 26.7% year-on-year increase. This figure is also 30% higher than in the same month in 2019, before the pandemic. By country, China ranked first with 500,000 visitors, followed by Japan, Taiwan, and the United States. Experts have analyzed that strong growth was driven by a large influx of global fans traveling to Korea for the concerts marking BTS's return. Meanwhile, Hana Card estimated that 30,000 foreign tourists attended the three BTS concerts in Goyang in early April alone. This generated domestic spending of up to 55.5 billion KRW (approximately US$37.659.614) across sectors such as aviation, accommodation, dining, and shopping.
