BTS - Rap Monster, V, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, Suga, J-hope 24 (AMAs - American Music Awards 2017) Woohoo! They finally did it! On November 19, 2017, superstar K-pop group BTS took the stage at the American Music Awards for their U.S. TV debut. They delivered a powerful and memorable performance to go down in the history books. With an audience dominated by ARMYs and many interviewers and celebs gushing over the boys, they certainly had everyone’s attention.

Millions of people were introduced to BTS through this performance. Remenicent of their appearance at the Billboard Music Awards back in May where they won Top Social Artist, twitter lit up with talk of BTS before, during, and after the show. It’s an exciting time to be an ARMY and a K-pop fan.

While this is another huge achievement for BTS for all of their hard work, it’s also another chance for the K-pop community as a whole to come together and celebrate the increased awareness of this wonderful music genre.

BTS has had a busy schedule during their visit to America with numerous interviews. We still have several big ones to look forward to including appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Late Late Show With James Corden.

There’s also the highly anticipated release of the Mic Drop Remix featuring Steve Aoki and Desiigner on November 24. It’s already been an exciting week for BTS and their fans, and it looks like that will just continue!

    Next up, BTS will win a Grammy. oh and who knows they’ll release a feature length movie too and win an Oscar while they’re at it. Anything seems possible now. 😛

      That’s the plan! Then world domination! Mwahaha!! BTS will rule with ARMY as their ever loyal subjects, hehe 😉

    Yeah, they certainly made a splash. BTS isn’t really one of those groups I follow in any regularity, but even I watched several of the fancams. OMG, the fanchants! So loud. 😁

    1. Kay Avatar

      They really did 🙂 And yes those fanchants! Woah! It’s just great to see western fans being dedicated enough to do them and do them spectacularly 🙂

    Currently music is one of my hobbies that is at it’s lowest point ever. I hardly listen to it at all anymore, simply because I don’t have time for it . That said, I saw their performance over in kwenzqoatl ‘s blog, and thought it was amazing. It’s incredible that they have broken through like this. Hopefully this will pave the way for other bands 😊

    1. Kay Avatar

      Aww, I definitely understand the time thing. You should squeeze in a little music though, it’s just an awesome part of life 🙂 I mostly listened to pre 2000 music before I got into Kpop, and now that’s my main genre, lol. So it really is amazing to see my fav group break though. They have such a diversity of music available, meaningful lyrics, great personalities, and fantastic choreo. They are such a special group 🙂

      1. raistlin0903 Avatar

        Yeah at times I try to do that, but it also is something that I just can’t keep up with like I used to. Well, my taste in music might surprise you as it’s metal. But just as in movies, I also have a very diverse taste in music. Which is why I really enjoyed this bands performance and why I also understand how they are so popular at the moment 😊

        1. Kay Avatar

          I get ya. Kdramas already take up so much of my time and well, Kpop and BTS especially is sort of like a rabbit hole that eats up time fast, lol. You’re taste in music actually doesn’t surprise me at all 😉 I also have pretty diverse tastes in music although I would say that metal is probably one of the few I don’t care for, hehe. But I love pop, hip hop, EDM, oldies from 90s back through the 40s, and lots of others. And I think BTS has a little something for almost everyone with their varied styles. I still need more time though. Where can I get that?

          1. raistlin0903 Avatar

            Haha, if you find out the answer to that last question, let me know lol 😂😂

    I can’t wait to see/listen to the Mic Drop remix! Argh!!! I’ll be at work precisely when it will be released and a part of me wants to blast it through my laptop. LOL!

    1. Kay Avatar

      Me too! The wait is excruciating! lol I’d be sneaking off to a bathroom or somewhere when it’s released if I were you 😉 Or maybe you’ll be able to listen to it softly at your desk. I usually wake up a couple hours after the release time. How early I get up that day depends how much thinking about it keeps waking me up, hehe. But for now, I just keep playing that teaser as well as Mic Drop 🙂

      1. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

        Mic drop….the lyrics were so expressive

        1. Kay Avatar

          Yes they are! Mic Drop is a masterpiece in every way 🙂

  5. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

    BTS is my all time fave….their small company….big hopes….hard work….positive attitude…. philosophies of life ( I respect RM so much)….I adore them a lot…..ARMY forever

    1. Kay Avatar

      BTS is my fav too! I agree, I love absolutely everything about them. They are the full package and real deal. They’ve brought me so much joy and inspiration. And I never tire of watching them achieve more and spread so much positivity. They are truly amazing 🙂

      1. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

        I heard they were almost disbanded in the N.O. era….but here they are with their best….billboards, AMAs, teen choice awards, 6 daesangs…..international sensation

        1. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

          Or was it 5 daesangs….so much trophies in their bag😁

          1. Kay Avatar

            That’s what I heard too. But no, they were destined for greatness 🙂 And yes, soooo many trophies in their bag! They just keep coming 🙂

          2. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            Too many that they cant even count them….haha😁

          3. Kay Avatar

            Haha, nope, both them and us have trouble counting them these days 🙂

          4. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            Haha…by the way it became 6 yesterday at Seoul music awards.

          5. Kay Avatar

            Oh yeah! I was so excited for that win! Bring the count up to 6. I think we may still have to make more room in the bag really soon though, hehe 😉

          6. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            Haha…oh god…I could continue with a BTS conversation forever….

          7. Kay Avatar

            Same! I don’t think we ever tire of sharing our love of BTS 🙂

          8. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            😁😁 Steve Aoki working on something new….Love Yourself was released on the day of my bio exams and I kept thinking about it the entire exam hour.😁 Maybe they are my lucky charms because I did well…like really well in those papers

          9. Kay Avatar

            I was so surprised when I heard Steve Aoki say that! Now I’m super excited to see what they have in store for us 🙂 Oooh, Love Yourself was released on the day of your exams? Bet that was tough! I know all I wanted to do was listen to it all day, lol. But it does sounds like they gave you a little extra inspiration. BTS make for good lucky charms 🙂

          10. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            And that particular paper was delayed by 5 hours….even more horrible…. I kept thinking in the hall about BTS😁

          11. Kay Avatar

            Yikes! That would have been torture! Bet you were never so glad to get that over with and onto BTS, hehe 🙂

          12. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            Haha…they said to drop the next album in first half of the year…plus billboards must be soon right…. cant wait

          13. Kay Avatar

            Yeah, I read they said they were in the beginning planning stages for the album. So maybe a couple months? I know I can’t wait! I think Billboards will be in May again. Really hoping we get an appearance and a performance this year. Plus, yesterday BTS tweeted about voting for the iHeart Awards. So now I wonder if they will attend that too? Ah! So much to get excited about!!

          14. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            Yes yes yes….RM was so desperate for a performance at a Billboard interview….but I say somewhere about the thing that…. Boy meets evil ended with Boy meets WHAT….and W: wonder, euphoria; H: her, serendipity(released); A: answer, epiphany ; T: tears, singularity….at an award show performance this happened and a fan wrote about it….Is this Truuuuueee??? Oh Bighit!!

          15. Kay Avatar

            Yes, they just have to perform! Ooh, I hadn’t read about the Boy Meets WHAT thing. I’m going to have to look into this! They always like to keep us guessing, lol

          16. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            Bighit…huh…especially that moment when you realise that Agust D’s release date was written on Jungkook’s shirt in Save me.

          17. Kay Avatar

            Yep, we just never know what secrets lie in wait, hehe

          18. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            😁….Did you see run episode 28?

          19. Kay Avatar

            Is that the karaoke one? If so, yes, I saw, laughed, and loved it 🙂

          20. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            Karaoke was fab…but this was the one where Suga wore Chimmy outfit….hey…next album is on happiness

          21. Kay Avatar

            Ah, I think believe that was the newest one ep. 38. I haven’t watched it yet, but I sure have seen all kinds of hilarious pics and gifs going around! Too adorable 🙂 And yes, I read the interview where they were talking about the new album focusing on happiness. They also said it would probably have a darker concept. So that will certainly be something to look forward to!

          22. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            Yes….loneliness and happiness… this is what I love…they dont just sing songs with just lyrics… they talk about difficulties every person faces

          23. Kay Avatar

            I know, their music just does it all. They have so many songs that are catchy and fun, but then they have many more that are so meaningful that touch and encourage the lives of so many of us. Inspirational on so many levels.

          24. Pooja Mohanty Avatar

            Yes…by the way..please check my blog…I have posted something about them….maybe you’ll like them

          25. Kay Avatar

            Sure, I will definitely check it out 🙂
