According to a credible source, Sun Nan is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the singer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 06/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Sun 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 55-year-old singer, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Sun so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the singer have already been named ‘Chinese Of The Year’ by some major Chinese newspapers and even ‘Dalian Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Dalian (Sun Nan's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the singer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Sun Nan Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 5 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Nan has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 5 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Sun Nan?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 5 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Sun Nan?
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?
