Billboard highlighted, "The mastermind behind BTS catapulted the seven-man K-pop band to No. 1 on both the Billboard Artist 100 and Billboard 200 charts and engineered a sold-out Love Yourself: Speak Yourself stadium tour across the globe."
It also emphasized BTS' positive social impact by quoting Bang Si-hyuk's words, "BTS worked very hard to deliver their message, put together in their own words. It was a symbolic moment where the artists' life itself was a performance, a message of hope to the youth all around the world," referring to the group's UN speech in September 2018.
