They beat out tough competition from Imagine Dragons, Maroon 5, Panic! at the Disco, and Dan + Shay to claim the Top Duo/Group award for the first time, making history for Korean artists.
During their acceptance speech, RM shared his thoughts on what the award meant for not just him, but BTS and ARMY around the world.
Thank you ARMY!
Still can’t believe that we’re here on this stage with so many great artists.
You know, this is only possible because of the little things we share, the BTS and ARMY power.
We’re still the same boys from 6 years ago, we still have the same dreams, lets keep dreaming the best dreams together.
Thank you.
— RM
