K-Pop boy band BTS’s outfits worn during the video for their first all-English language single “Dynamite” have been sold for a total of $162,500 at an auction this week.
According to the US-based auction house Julien’s Auctions, the money will benefit non-profit organization MusiCares, a charity that provides health, financial and rehabilitation resources for musicians in times of need.
The money raised was more than eight times the amount expected — according to the auction house’s website, the estimate was $20,000 to $40,000.
