Abstract
The global success of KPOP this year has had a positive impact on the Korean economy. The importance of KPOP to Korea was determined by analyzing the operation of KPOP and the revenue generated by KPOP idols. With the development of network technology, KPOP is spreading more and more widely. It has not only achieved success and popularity in Asian countries, but also in Europe and America. KPOP successfully opened the world market. As the most popular Korean idol group in Europe and the United States, BTS has generated considerable economic profits for Korea. BTS s concert revenue is expected to exceed that of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Along with the opening of the global market, KPOP has also boosted the economy of South Korea, attracting tourists from all over the world to visit the country and promoting the local culture. It attracts teenagers and girls from all over the world to follow the trend of Korean culture.
