The Korean group returns the favor and writes their friend's profile now that it's her turn to be in the Time 100

In what is further proof of the purity and constancy of Korean group BTS and American artist Halsey’s friendship, the septet wrote the profile for their “cherished friend” for the Time 100.

Halsey is part of the magazine’s annual 100 Most Influential People list.

“Halsey is the type of person who leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. She has an incredible ability to exude this magic from within herself,” wrote the band, who collaborated with her for the 2019 song “Boy With Luv.”

The band, writing for Time, said deciding to collaborate with Halsey “was one of the easiest calls” they’ve ever had to make – “it just had to be her.”

“Halsey is not only a strikingly talented artist, but also a dedicated partner who sincerely devotes everything to the art we create together. She inspires us, and we’re incredibly honored to be able to call her our cherished friend. We cannot wait to see what she has for the world down the road,” they wrote.

Last year, when BTS was featured in the Time 100, Halsey wrote the group’s profile.

It’s been quite a 2020 for BTS, even as the music industry – and most other industries – have struggled during the coronavirus pandemic. They released their first all-English single, “Dynamite,” which later topped the Billboard charts. BTS is the first all-Korean group to do so.

BTS’ friendship with Halsey started before their professional collaboration. The septet and the singer had been known to hang out, particularly when Halsey would visit Korea.

“Outwardly, they are polished and professional, but hours of laughter, secret handshakes, and gifts exchanged show those around them that underneath this showstopping, neatly groomed movement are just some guys who love music, one another, and their fans,” she wrote about them in the 2019 Time 100.

Halsey recently released a new album, Manic, which BTS described as “among the most genuine pieces of work we’ve ever encountered.” Manic features BTS rapper Suga in the track SUGA’s Interlude. – Rappler.com
