웸블리 공연 BTS…CNN "미국 무너뜨린 BTS, 비틀스보다 더 대단한 성취"
K-pop sensation BTS shook the Wembley Stadium in London over the weekend... making them the first Korean artist to do so.
And the media across the globe had their eyes on the concert as well.
Lee Min-sun tells us more. BTS's historic concerts at London's Wembley Stadium over the weekend have earned the group attention from all around the world.
Being the first Korean artists to take to the stage at the iconic venue, the group performed to some 60-thousand fans as part of their world tour.
Foreign media outlets also praised the group's performance.
Right after the first of BTS's two sold-out concerts at the stadium, BBC wrote "BTS have made history by becoming the first South Korean group to headline Wembley Stadium"... the third UK show of BTS's career.
BBC added that while, unlike most Wembley headliners, BTS are not quite household names yet, their fanbase is unusually devoted, highly mobilized and growing daily.
CNN also ran a lengthy feature to delve into how a boy band from South Korea became the biggest in the world.
CNN compared BTS to legendary band the Beatles, but said the South Korean stars cracking the American market was perhaps an even greater achievement,... noting that most of BTS's songs are in Korean and the group has only one fluent English speaker.
It also pointed out that the group's active use of social media has built a personal connection with the fan base... giving the group a huge advantage in gaining international fame thanks to their devoted networks of fans around the world.
