Bloomberg announced on its website on the 6th (local time) that it selected 50 teams of people and organizations that have achieved the most remarkable results in 2018 in business, entertainment, finance, politics and science and technology. In the business sector, Fed members were named, including Ben van Boerdon, CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, and Jerome Powell, chairman of the United States of America Federal Reserve, in the financial sector. In the political field, Time's Up, which engages in sexual violence and gender discrimination throughout the United States of America, was selected. The group provides legal advice to women affected by sexual violence. In the science and technology category, Amy Hood, Microsoft's chief financial officer (CFO), and Donna Strickland, the Nobel Prize winner, were named. United States of America singer Taylor Swift and BTS were selected for the entertainment category.
Bloomberg said, "BTS is the first place on the Billboards album chart with 'Love Yourself' (LOVE YOURSELF Tear) in June. It is the first K-pop band to be on the chart, and once again charts first place with Love Yourself-Resolve Answer (LOVE YOURSELF Answer) in August “We have achieved unprecedented success in United States of America,” he said. “The great popularity of BTS is due to the fact that the younger generation is a favorite genre, but has been willing to talk about social issues, mental health, and politics,” he said. “BTS’s first World Stadium tour ticket sold out in a few minutes, a sign that World audiences are ready to accept a band with Korea’s sensibility,” he said.
