The magazine also described BTS as “the biggest band in the world,” taking into account their power as hitmakers, and the constant support they have shown for the Black Lives Matter movement, making a large donation and encouraging fans to keep going.

The Grammy nominated band are showing their appreciation for the iconic recognition, explaining how amazed they are for all “the unimaginable things that are happening.”

Jin, Suga, J-hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook definitely had one of their best years so far, even during a time when “the world hit pause and everyone struggled to maintain connections,” as it was written by Time’s Raisa Bruner in reference to the massive fanbase.

It was also reported that the Korean pop music genre has become incredibly successful worldwide, during the last decade.
