An estimated 1.7 trillion won (RM6bil) worth of economic effect is expected to be created by K-pop sensation BTS' conquest of the Billboard Hot 100 chart last week, government data showed Monday (Sept 7).

Last week, BTS debuted at No.1 on Billboard's main singles chart with its latest English-language single Dynamite, becoming the first South Korean singer or group to achieve the feat.
