These days, BTS has become synonymous with South Korea. The impact of this seven-member group is such that its contributions have begun to affect the nation’s economy as well. Recently, the country underwent a presidential election following President Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment.
Several domestic and foreign media channels covered the news, but one particular report caught fans’ eyes. A reporter from Japan spoke about K-pop and showed BTS member Jimin during his live coverage. Fans were surprised, and the clips from the coverage went viral on social media.
Japanese Media Outlet Features BTS Jimin In South Korean Presidential Election Coverage
A Japanese media channel was covering the recent presidential elections in South Korea when BTS member Jimin was mentioned in the coverage. The reporter mentioned how K-pop is one of the largest segments that contribute to the Korean economy. The reporter held BTS Jimin’s poster from the group’s BE album. Jimin’s poster was also at a bus stop behind the reporter as he was reporting live from outside the HYBE office. He also sweetly said that while he had no idea about K-pop, he had done his homework before taking on the segment.
