BTS is the first Korean singer to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s HO100.
The group made its name known around the world, not just in Korea. The news of BTS, which is writing a new history of K-pop, is making headlines every day.
BTS goes on a world tour every year to meet their overseas fans. The group has no choice but to stay in a hotel every time they go on tour.
BTS reveals they rent an entire hotel floor every time they tour. The amount of money to do that will be considerable, but there must be a reason for them to do it.
When BTS holds a concert, tickets are sold out very quickly, and the hotels around it are always full.
The members often broadcast live at the hotel after the concert for fans who couldn’t come because they couldn’t get tickets.
One time BTS members were doing a live broadcast and Jin came said, “I didn’t know where you were, so I put my ears on every room door.”
This is because BTS rented the entire floor. The reason was because of the sasaeng fans (personal life stalking fans).
Sasaeng fans are the kind of fans who can chase vehicles to find out where the BTS is staying, and even take photos in front of the hotels where they stay. There are even cases where one sasaeng fan came into the bathroom dressed as a man to meet the members.
In addition, unthinkable things happen quite frequently. The more popular the members become, the crazier the sasaeng fans are leading to serious problems.
Once, Jimin’s hotel name was exposed while he was doing a live broadcast. Since then, BTS even moved to a different hotel in case sasaeng fans tried to find them.
It can be seen that the excessive behavior of sasaeng fans has caused much damage, so the company decides to rent a whole hotel floor to protect its artists.
