In Europe, LEGO Ideas 21339 BTS Dynamite is likely to not generate a lot of interest, which is why the announcement will take place at 6:00 AM (GMT+1) on Thursday. LEGO is clearly focusing on a different market with this set, and that’s not without reason. Within just a few hours, the teaser on Twitter was viewed 4.5 million times and generated 180,000 likes. To give you an idea of how impressive these figures are, we can look at the teaser for The Lord of the Rings Rivendell, which was viewed 680,000 times in a week and received 8,000 likes.

The Ideas project BTS’ Dynamite was selected by LEGO to be released as an official set last year. The idea is based on the video “Dynamite,” and the project appears to have been chosen by the Danish company primarily because of the market. The band is particularly popular in Asia, and that just happens to be an important growth market for LEGO.
