According to a well-placed source, Bae Doona is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the actress' fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Bae for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 45-year-old actress, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Bae so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actress have already been named ‘Korean Of The Year’ by some major Korean newspapers and even ‘Seoul Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Seoul (Bae Doona's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the actress was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Bae Doona Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 25 Mar 2025
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveDoona”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 25 Mar 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Bae Doona?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 25 Mar 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Bae Doona?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
