The Korean group was recently nominated for a Grammy.
For the past year, K-pop band BTS has experienced a meteoric rise, and they clearly haven’t lost any steam.
The band won Time’s online reader’s poll for Person Of The Year, surpassing former first lady Michelle Obama, tennis star Serena Williams, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and several other major figures.
BTS nabbed 9 percent of the poll, narrowly beating out Planet Earth by 0.12 percent for first place. The Thai Cave Divers, who rescued a trapped soccer team of 12 boys and their coach, received 7 percent of the vote, putting them in third place.
