The boy group's "Boy With Luv," featuring Halsey, was also chosen as Dance Music of the Year and Song of the Year with 33 percent and 36.5 percent, respectively, the survey said.
Other than BTS, also getting votes were Red Velvet, AB6IX, BLACKPINK, EXO, GOT7, IU, HyunA, IZ*ONE, Monsta X and Super Junior, who were not put forward in the poll.
"Following BTS' mega-success, a lot of characteristic idol groups with their own unique charm have been born. Such trend is expected to persist next year as well," Mimyo, the editor-in-chief of the webzine "Idology," said. (Yonhap)
