BTS have also won the TIME 100 reader poll for the second year in a row.

How exactly does one accomplish world domination? Surely it takes remarkable talent, charm, kindness, altruism and dedication. But you’d still be missing a key component: a devoted community to uplift your efforts, soften your stumbles and shoot light from their eyes into the sky in your name every single night.

By these parameters, BTS has reached the top. Over the past few years, the K-pop group has taken the music industry by storm—shattering sales records, gathering accolades and performing across the globe for head-spinning audiences—all the while remaining exemplary ambassadors for their Korean culture. But behind those three letters are seven astounding young men who believe that music is stronger than the barriers of language. It’s a universal dialect.

With positive messages of self-confidence, intricacies of philosophy hidden in their sparkly songs, true synergy and brotherhood in every step of their elaborate choreography, and countless charitable and anthropological endeavors, BTS have put their 14 best feet forward as role models to millions of adoring fans and anyone else who finds themselves drawn to BTS’s undeniable allure.

I have known “the boys”—as I and other fans affectionately call them—for years and had the pleasure of traveling to Korea to hang with them on multiple occasions. Outwardly, they are polished and professional, but hours of laughter, secret handshakes and gifts exchanged show those around them that underneath this showstopping, neatly groomed movement are just some guys who love music, one another and their fans.

For BTS, world domination is just another 8-count in the contemporary dance of life. But if you think that’s easy, you haven’t seen the love and effort these young men put into each and every step.

You can tell Halsey appreciates them how all the fans appreciates them. It’s nice to see.

A lot of fluff but it's on brand for Times magazine, and still better than the shittily referenced article published about them on their cover issue (I bought that issue anyway because history). Genuinely surprised that Halsey wrote this though. Ngl Steve Aoki's display of support have made me rethink the stereotypes I have on American artists, like whaddyaknow, not all of them are self-serving materialistic a-holes and if Halsey keeps this up she may be added to the list.

I am so so proud of them and Halsey is so sweet and supportive.
