BTS is back on the Billboard Music Awards stage for the third year in a row!

On Wednesday, the K-pop boy band performed their English-language hit "Dynamite" virtually from South Korea.

Sporting burgundy suits, the fan-favorite group wowed viewers with an action-packed performance filled with choreography and a band playing the track.

Prior to hitting the stage, BTS won the BBMA for top social artist for the fourth year in a row. Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook are up for what could be their second consecutive award for top duo/group. The septet is competing against Dan + Shay, Jonas Brothers, Maroon 5 and Panic! at the Disco.

If they win, this will make them the first group or duo to take home back-to-back awards in the category since One Direction first set the record in 2015 and 2016.

In August, they became the first all-South Korean act to ever top the Billboard Hot 100 charts when "Dynamite" was released.

The BBMAs is a special show for the group. In 2018, they became the first South Korean artist to perform at the BBMAs and performed "Fake Love" and a year later, in 2019, BTS returned to the broadcast to perform "Boy with Luv" with Halsey.

Next, the boys will release a new album, BE, in November. And they recently released their documentary film, Break the Silence: The Movie, on Sept. 24.
