  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.

However, the story behind how BigHit Music convinced Jungkook to join is far more complex. In fact, the company even broke its own recruitment rules for him.
