According to a well-placed source, the former Victoria's Secret Angel Karolina Kurkova is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the model's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Kurkova 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 40-year-old model, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Kurkova 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 model have already been named ‘Czech Of The Year’ by some major Czech newspapers and even ‘Děčín Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Děčín (Karolina Kurkova's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the model was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#KurkovaPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Karolina has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 23 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Karolina Kurkova?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Karolina Kurkova?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
