BTS Outfits Raise Over $300,000 at Christie’s Charity Auction as Jimin’s World Cup Shirt Fetches Record $110,000

The stage outfits worn by BTS during their performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final halftime show at MetLife Stadium have raised a total of $300,300 at a prestigious charity auction organized by Christie’s.

Titled “One Goal: An Auction to Benefit the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund,” the online bidding event concluded after a seven-day run, drawing intense interest from collectors across 24 countries.

In total, the auction generated $652,630, with BTS items alone accounting for roughly 46 percent of the grand total.

Leading the sales was a custom Agro Studio shirt worn by member Jimin during the group’s performance of “Dynamite,” which sold for an impressive $110,000.

The winning bid for Jimin’s shirt tied for the single highest price of the entire auction alongside the official 2026 FIFA World Cup final match ball, which also fetched $110,000.

Christie’s had originally estimated each BTS item at between $1,000 and $5,000, but passionate global bidding shattered those preliminary projections.

Reflecting on the record-breaking outcomes, representatives behind the global auction highlighted the widespread impact of the fundraiser:

“The auction raised a total of $652,630 from bidders in 24 countries… with BTS items alone accounting for 46 percent of total proceeds.”
