BTS South Korean boy band did not win their first Grammy Award this year, but for the stars, it seems that they value something a little more precious – ARMY.
Since the surprising snub at the award show, fans have been doing their bit to live up to the band’s message and spread positivity. Among the many things that surfaced on the internet was a BTS’recetn interview that had them sharing their thoughts about the Grammy nomination and possibly securing a win.
In BTS interview with DICON, back in November 2020, RM was quoted saying, “Grammy is such a glorious award. Due to COVID-19, we were unable to meet the ARMY. So doing offline performance has become our new dream.”
“We need ARMY more than Grammy,” the band candidly confessed.
This was the third time that RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook appeared at the Grammys. Back in 2019, the group presented an award at the event, marking their first stateside award show ever. Despite being shut out of all categories at the event the following year, BTS returned to the Grammys, to make a special appearance during a performance of Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road (Remix)’.
They were nominated for the very first time this year at the Grammys, in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for the same song that they performed to ‘Dynamite’.
Ultimately, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande took home the prize for their duet ‘Rain On Me. This led BTS fans to start the hashtag #Scammys, which soon trended on Twitter.
BTS
BTS is a South Korean boy band that began formation in 2010 and debuted in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment. … The group’s second Korean studio album, Wings (2016), was their first to sell one million copies in South Korea.
BTS’s music is also a success because of the subject of their music. While many K-pop songs are about relationships and love, BTS covers subjects that other bands may not like bullying, elitism, and mental health. Their ability to be relatable, humble while still being entertaining is rare.
