BTS named Time’s 2020 Entertainer of the Year
South Korean pop band, BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys has been named Time Magazine’s 2020 Entertainer of the Year.
BTS joins the likes of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (Person of the Year), LeBron James (Athlete of the Year), amongst others to be honoured for their outstanding display this year.
“BTS isn’t just the biggest K-pop act on the charts. They’ve become the biggest band in the world—full stop. Between releasing multiple albums, breaking every type of record and appearing in these extemporaneous livestreams in 2020, BTS ascended to the zenith of pop stardom.

“And they did it in a year defined by setbacks, one in which the world hit pause and everyone struggled to maintain their connections. Other celebrities tried to leverage this year’s challenges; most failed. (Remember that star-studded “Imagine” video?) But BTS’s bonds to their international fan base, called ARMY, deepened amid the pandemic, a global racial reckoning and worldwide shutdowns,” Time said about BTS.
“There are times when I’m still taken aback by all the unimaginable things that are happening,” Suga tells TIME later. “But I ask myself, Who’s going to do this, if not us?”
The seven-member group performed on Thursday night during the first-ever TIME Person of the Year broadcast special on NBC.
