The item worn by the K‑pop idol at East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium earlier this month topped Christie’s One Goal: An Auction to Benefit the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, attracting the highest bid of the entire event.
The seven items worn by the group during their World Cup set generated $300,300, a remarkable 46 per cent of all proceeds.
The only item to match Jimin’s final price was the official match ball from the 2026 World Cup final, which also sold for $110,000.
Its English‑language vocals would have made it ineligible for the new Asian Pop category, which requires “meaningful use” of an Asian language.
The Asian Pop category was created to celebrate the depth, diversity and extraordinary growth of pop artistry coming out of Asia… It’s never to divide, but to expand.”
