alex crossing 2,895 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 This is just readers voting ^^ While Bangtan have been making nice accomplishments and while this isn't an end-all be-all poll, I still struggle to see why someone would vote for them over the cave divers, to be blunt. I can think of some other people too who I'd rather vote for over them and I feel like people voting for Bangtan for certain reasons are perhaps slightly off the mark in who they chose... Where is the other 50% I think here? >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirine 4,209 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 There are some strange choices this year. Itll be interesting to see who Times actually chooses. Im going to put my money on Donald Trump or Undocumented Children though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris_Tae 1,617 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 what is this "Time continues to annually run an online poll for the "People's Choice", but stresses the decision on whom the magazine recognizes is not made by the poll, but by the magazine's editors." Didn't they win last year though... seems like you're just nitpicking K-Pop Group BTS Wins TIME 100 Reader Poll K-pop group BTS can add another accolade to their list of successes: winner of the 2018 TIME 100 reader poll. The seven-person group of multitalented South Korean artists has been tapping a vein of global popularity since 2013. The group has topped Billboard‘s Social charts for almost all of 2017 and 2018 (so far), won the Top Social Artist title at last year’s Billboard Music Awards, earned a spot on TIME’s list of the Most Influential People on the Internet in 2017 and regularly spark social media trends, thanks to their 14-million-strong “Army†of fans. BTS, which consists of singers RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, is just one of a number of K-pop groups with massive fanbases. But in particular they have proven themselves capable of transcending the Asian market with their hip-hop-meets-pop songs, sharp choreography and high-concept music videos. Their next full-length album, Love Yourself: Tear, is due out on May 18. “We came together with a common dream to write, dance and produce music that reflects our musical backgrounds as well as our life values of acceptance, vulnerability and being successful,†RM told TIME in 2017, noting that their powerful online presence is a “team effort.†“Music transcends language,†he added. While TIME editors are responsible for selecting the TIME 100, the online reader poll opens up voting to the general public. BTS — which stands for “Bangtan Sonyeondan†or “Beyond the Scene†— easily dominated this year’s poll, garnering over 15% of the vote. Runners-up included South Korean President Moon Jae-in with five percent and Barack Obama with three percent. Other popular musical acts, including Rihanna, Beyoncé, Shawn Mendes and Bruno Mars, brought in two percent each. In 2017, Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte was the winner of the reader poll, racking up 5% of the online vote. The official TIME 100 will be announced April 19 on TIME.com. Correction: The original version of this story misstated the English version of “BTS.†It’s “Beyond the Scene,†not “Behind the Scene.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satoori 45,814 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 BTS got 16% and they're only over the cave divers by 3%. So the way I look at it...rather then focusing on the 16%, why didn't the other percentage of people vote differently too... This is just readers voting ^^ While Bangtan have been making nice accomplishments and while this isn't an end-all be-all poll, I still struggle to see why someone would vote for them over the cave divers, to be blunt.

I agree to an extent, celebs like Ariana, Lady Gaga, etc. who have had very little impact on global politics and the like shouldn't really be nominated, however, there are some celebs that may be deserving of a nomination for their humanitarian work (like Angelina Jolie or Akon, BTS not so much as of now, but we may get there in the future if they keep up with their UNICEF humanitarianism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
