For TIME's Entertainer of the Year, there was only one choice: @bts_twt, the group that has set the standard for performance, popularity and humanity in a year beset by the unexpected. Because as Suga says: “Who’s going to do this, if not us?” #TIMEPOY https://t.co/lp5tOJEYzh

About the K-pop band BTS
The seven-member band, which made its debut in 2013, has become one of the world's most popular bands, thanks to its upbeat dance songs, an army of adoring fans, and positive non-controversial messages.
BTS earned its first major Grammy nomination last month for best pop duo/group performance for the hit song "Dynamite."
At the 2021 Grammy's award ceremony, the group will face off against J Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny and Tainy ("Un Dia"), Justin Bieber featuring Quavo ("Intentions"), Lady Gaga with Ariana Grande ("Rain on Me"), and Taylor Swift featuring Bon Iver ("Exile").
