  • I think BTS deserves the honor. They work hard, put on fantastic shows, give back to their community and the world. I am a great grandmother from USA Boston, MASSACHUSETTS who enjoys them immensely and hope some day I can attend a live concert after COVID-19.

  • BTS for sure. I am a 66 year old Army who listens and dances to BTS everyday. I love what BTS stands for. Their message of love yourself has not just helped heal us just but themselves as well. Suga finally got his wish. My wish is to be the Grey haired old lady at the next BTS concert dancing and singing up a storm. Congrats.

  • I think BTS deserves it for their great music & message to which I listen to every day!! and LOVE so much 🙂 And all they have done globally around the world and especially for Korea 🙂 …I am a 51 yr old ARMY in CANADA.
