It was the first appearance for the group at an American music award show, and BTS even took home the “Top Social Artist” award, making them the first K-Pop group in history to win a Billboard music award.

Around that same time in BTS’s career, they had considered disbandment because of the tough conditions they faced with their increasing success. Luckily, they decided against it and continued to forge their path as global stars.
