The impact that Korean pop stars BTS have had on the landscapes of not just music and fashion, but also the lives of millions of fans worldwide is undeniable and has been a thrill to witness.
Ahead of this year's American Music Awards ceremony, the group spoke about their undying love for music, performing, and of course, the ever-present ARMY that has had BTS' back since day one.
The group has been nominated for three categories this year -- Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop Duo or Group, and Favorite Pop Song -- and will also take the stage as the night's main performers alongside Megan Thee Stallion on Sunday, November 21 at 8PM ET with the world television premiere of their “Butter” remix.
"All we ever dreamed about was just creating music," says RM, "and that's what we're still doing now. In this sense, our lives are not quite that different from before. But the love and support that we've received over the years have truly exceeded our wildest dreams, and it's really hard to believe that our music and performances have made such a positive impact and received so much love from so many people around the world."
"It's an honor to share K-pop and our culture with the world," says Suga. "We feel a strong sense of responsibility and want to continue sharing good music and performances that people can enjoy and remember."
"If I had to choose my favorite part of today as an artist, I would say performing and touring," says Jung Kook. "Because this is when we can see our ARMY up close and make great memories together."
"This will be our very first 'Butter' performance with Megan. We're very excited, and are working hard to prepare for it," J-Hope tells us. "Don't miss it!"
BTS and Megan Thee Stallion lead Olivia Rodrigo, Bad Bunny, Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, New Edition, New Kids on the Block, Walker Hayes, Måneskin, Mickey Guyton, Diplo, Tyler, The Creator, and more as performers at this year's AMAs ceremony, airing Sunday, November 21 at 8PM ET/ PT on ABC and streaming the following day on Hulu.
