The caption on the Instagram read, "@bts.bighitofficial is TIME's 2020 Entertainer of the Year. Between releasing multiple albums and breaking every type of record in 2020, the Korean pop band ascended to the zenith of pop stardom. "We climbed our way up slowly, so it feels like we grew together. And we know each other on a deeper level," Jung Kook tells TIME."

"In an era marked by so much anguish and cynicism, BTS has stayed true to their message of kindness, connection and self-acceptance, writes @raisabruner. That's the foundation of their relationship with their fans, the ARMY," it further read.
