BTS has performed at the Billboard Music Awards before, but this time would be different. RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook premiered "Fake Love" at the 2018 ceremony. Last year, they performed their mega-hit “Boy with Luv” with Halsey.
Now, BTS is set to perform at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, which will air on October 14 at 8 PM EST. RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have also been nominated for “Top-Duo Group” and "Top Social Artist.” The boys won the “Top-Duo Group” last year, making them the first K-pop artists to win the category.
BTS has broken a lot of records. Their recent accomplishment is winning the top spot on Billboard‘s Hot 100 for “Dynamite," not once, but twice.
RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook released their disco-inspired summer bop “Dynamite” on August 21, and it sold 265,000 digital copies in its first week. The boys revealed that they made “Dynamite” to give comfort to their fans while dealing with the coronavirus outbreak.
Jimin even shared that they were not thinking about numbers when making the new song, they simply created it to make ARMYs happy during the pandemic. What they didn't know is that “Dynamite” would end up being their first song to debut at No.1 on Billboard‘s “Hot 100” chart.
On Sept.1, the results for the Billboard‘s Hot 100 were announced and it happened to be Jungkook’s birthday. The BTS members then took to social media to express their happiness and gratitude.
Jungkook even admitted that he cried during his birthday. But the Golden Maknae’s tears were definitely not out of sadness, they were tears of joy. On the first day of September, it was announced that BTS hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a wish that the BTS singer was hoping for in 2018.
RM and Jin shared that their win was a great gift to Jungkook. Hours later, BTS held a live broadcast to not only celebrate the Golden Maknae’s birthday but to thank ARMYs for their historic win as well.
“It’s the best birthday gift ever. Also, it’s all thanks to ARMY. They gave me great support. I realized that they’re doing so many things for my birthday," Jungkook said.
RM, then, revealed that Jungkook lost his voice from crying. The BTS singer was so touched with ARMYs’ gift that he got really emotional. “I cried so much,” JK admitted.
