“It’s All Because of ARMY”

At the Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles, BTS attended and delivered the acceptance speech in person. Even when they were extremely nervous and excited at the same time, BTS kept expressing their appreciation to their beloved ARMY. The Millennial King of Pop, BTS, believed that becoming the FIRST Asian Artist to win “Artist of the Year” of the 2021 American Music Awards (AMAs) was only possible because of ARMY’s love and supports.

“4 years ago, we gave this first-time-ever TV live performance at this stage, AMAs, it was ‘DNA,’ and we were too excited and nervous at the time. And it’s been a long and amazing ride since then, but nobody could have ever bet on the odds of us standing here receiving this award. Except you all, ARMY. Except you all.”

BTS RM.
