BTS announced their extended vacation, but it does not mean they stopped ruling over the surveys and awards nights already.
After years of non-stop performances and appearances, BTS started recharging as they prepare for a new phase of their reign as a K-pop supergroup. Their label, though BIG HIT Music’s official Twitter account, said that the members would go back to South Korea to enjoy the holidays with their family.
But even if they are away from the spotlight, they still topped the recent survey conducted by Gallup Korea.

BTS Becomes Most Influential Individuals In South Korea
Since 2007, Gallup Korea has continuously launched surveys to hail the Most Influential Individuals in different categories yearly. This allows Korean citizens to vote for their favorite celebrities and artists who influence them greatly.
For this year, the organization held the pools in three different periods starting July. They created the first poll from July 8 to August 27, the second was from September 2 to October 4, and the third and last one was from November 5 to 28.
After less than a month, they released the results and shared what more than 5,000 fans had chosen this year.

Other BTS songs also appeared on the list, including Dynamite and Permission to Dance – the latter recently reached a new milestone for the group.
