A monumental record of 8 consecutive years at No. 1! The singer most loved by foreigners worldwide—as expected, it’s BTS.

I heard that BTS has set a remarkable record by ranking first for eight consecutive years in the category of Korean singers preferred by foreigners! I am so proud to hear the news that their favorability has significantly increased not only in the Americas and Europe but also in Japan, perhaps thanks to the excitement from their 'Arirang' comeback performance at Gwanghwamun Square on the 21st spreading across the globe. The fact that K-pop has been ranked as Korea's representative image for nine consecutive years must also be thanks to our members steadfastly holding down that position, right?
