If you compare it with the production costs of other dramas, you’ll see why the 40 B KRW production cost of BTS’ drama is unusual

You can’t blame the casting -> All the actors in the BTS drama are newcomers.
Genre? You can’t blame the CGI -> It’s not a sci-fi drama, it’s just a regular slice-of-life drama.
Blaming the different filming times also doesn’t make sense -> Squid Game started filming in June to October 2020 (took a year).
BTS drama YOUTH began filming in September 2020 -> halted -> an article appeared on April 7, 2021 stating they would resume filming with the goal to be released in 2021.
: Since then, the production team and actors have resumed the temporarily halted filming. While the exact end date of filming and airing schedule has not been confirmed, filming is expected to continue until summer.

-Seriously, though… Who’s laundering money here?
-How much did they pocket?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah…? Has it already been released?
-I thought BTS was in it, so I thought maybe the production costed a lot of money to pay BTS’ appearances fee. But it turns out that the drama is actually starred by some rookie actors??
-Where did all that money go?
-It all went to their pocketㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did they go to America with that money?
-What was the point of making this drama?
-How does that drama cost 400 B KRW?
-Shouldn’t this be investigated?
