It's only the first month of 2017 but the Bangtan Boys, popularly known as BTS, have been blessed with good news - a nomination for a Shorty Award or the Shortys. In this time where almost every individual is involved in social media, The Shorty Awards is an award-giving body that recognizes and honors the best in social media. BTS is considered to be one of the most popular Kpop group in the world, with each of the seven members blessed with an impressive number of fans and followers.
BTS boys are known for their dashing good looks and impressive singing and dancing skills. Aside from South Korean fans, BTS have established their presence in other parts of the world mainly because of social media. Their official social media accounts, especially the two official Instagram accounts, have continually opened the door for international BTS fans.
Aside from Instagram, the Shorty Award nominee, BTS, also has a strong presence on Twitter. In fact, Forbes have tagged BTS as the most retweeted artist on the microblogging site. BTS is also the first Kpop group to land on Billboard's Social 50 list. With all the social media presence and the constantly growing number of fans, it's only right and fitting that BTS be nominated for a Shorty Award.
