Items worn by BTS members during the 2026 World Cup halftime show were auctioned for charity, with Jimin’s shirt and the final match ball reaching top bids.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, a week-long online charity auction hosted by Christie’s Auction House has concluded, featuring memorabilia from the 2026 World Cup. The event saw participation from 24 countries and successfully raised significant funds for charitable organizations.
The highlight of the auction was a tie for the highest-selling item: the shirt worn by BTS member Jimin during his performance of 'Dynamite' at the halftime show, and the official match ball used in the tournament final. Both items were sold for $110,000 (approximately 3.69 million Thai Baht) each. Other items from the K-pop group also drew attention, including a jacket worn by Jungkook, a scarf worn by V, trousers worn by Suga, and boots worn by RM.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, this event underscores the massive cultural impact of K-pop stars on global events hosted in the region. While the auction results are finalized, the specific charitable organizations receiving the proceeds have not been detailed in the report. Fans and collectors should monitor official Christie’s announcements for further information regarding the distribution of these funds and any potential future exhibitions of the remaining items.
