The shirt is now among the most valuable individual clothing items ever sold at a Christie's auction, joining legendary pieces such as Audrey Hepburn's black dress from Breakfast at Tiffany's, Princess Diana's famous "Travolta Dress," and Elizabeth Taylor's 1969 Academy Awards gown.
Jungkook's jacket and V's scarf also attracted intense bidding, each selling for $46,200, highlighting BTS's remarkable global influence and the strong demand for memorabilia connected to the group.

- Support educational opportunities for disadvantaged children around the world.
- Finance inclusive education initiatives and learning programs.
- Expand access to football by supporting grassroots organizations.
- Create brighter futures for children living in underserved communities.
The auction is another example of how music, sport, and philanthropy can come together to create a lasting global impact.
