Last December, the Mint unveiled the first commemorative medal, adorned with the BTS logo and the number 10. It proved to be an unprecedented success, selling over 10,000 copies (worth 6 billion won) and becoming the Mint’s highest-selling commemorative medal to date.

Of particular note, the 1-ounce gold medal, limited to just 1,000 pieces, sold out within a mere two hours of its release on the Wevershop e-commerce platform. The Mint is currently in the final stages of designing the second commemorative medal, which will showcase individual portraits of all the BTS members, utilizing innovative new technologies.
