The K-pop boy group uses Twitter to communicate with fans (affectionately called BTS Army) and with many fans, it is no surprise that BTS’s official Twitter account for the third straight year came on top.

Twitter Korea released their report this year on the worldwide trending statistics with two categories specifically relating to K-pop instead of just focusing on trends in Korea.
