BTS and "Squid Game" continued to be a worldwide phenomenon that they became hot topics on Twitter this year.
A few weeks before 2021 ends, Twitter dropped a press release confirming the top global moments of the year that the platform recorded.
On its official website, the social networking site quoted Dionne Warwick's tweet "do not bring that foolishness into 2021" as it tries to close this year. The statement listed the most liked tweet of the year, most retweeted tweet, most discussed TV show, most talked about movies, and most discussed sports, among others.
BTS, the current most famous K-pop boy group in the world, garnered several spots in different categories - scoring the top hashtag of 2021 and top liked tweet.
For the Top Hashtag of 2021, the K-pop supergroup surely used their influence in a good way after #StopAsianHate became the most retweeted tweet of the year. The group famously became vocal about their thoughts on the recent hate crimes against Asians and used their power to eliminate such bad deeds in the world.
With their continuous win, #BTS became the top hashtag this year.
Meanwhile, "Squid Game" became a game-changer, although it only arrived in September. The hit Netflix series took the third spot for most discussed TV show worldwide, following "Big Brother Brasil" and "A Fazenda 13" in the list.
