Selecting BTS as Artist of the Year, we contemplate the meaning of the title. Landing on a renowned worldwide music chart, performing at a prestigious overseas music awards, selling over several million albums - this is all peripheral. Idol, K-pop, surviving the overseas market - a rhetoric too simple. A group born amidst Korean pop music, using itself as a material, completed its music and enraptured the contemporary youth at home and abroad. The album, prominent, and the movement will cause ripples all over the Korean music industry for years to come. 2017 and BTS, the two are inseparable.
