BTS’s First-Ever VMAs Performance Was EVERYTHING

From Cosmopolitan

• BTS just performed at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards. They came into the night nominated for the Best Choreography, Pop Video, and K-Pop categories.

• This is the first time BTS has performed at the awards ceremony.

• Last year, they won Best K-Pop and Best Group but didn’t perform.

Army, we won! After fans suffered through a BTS-less MTV Video Music Awards ceremony last year (they won two awards but didn’t hit the stage), the powers that be finally got some sense and booked the group to perform this time. Hot off the release of their new “Dynamite” track, BTS wowed viewers when they graced everyone’s television.

Thanks to some green-screen backdrops of NYC, the group could travel through the boroughs. They started dancing in Brooklyn and then quickly showed up in Times Square. Of course, it might have been a little hard to focus on the performance due to all the screaming in the background.

“Dynamite,” their first all-English song, came out August 21 and broke records as soon as it dropped. Within 24 hours, the video surpassed 101.1 million views on YouTube. Basically, BTS now holds the title of biggest first-day debut for a music video.

Last year, BTS won two VMAs for Best K-Pop and Best Group before the show even started (yeah, they’re that good). Now, we just have to wait and see if they win any more…fingers crossed.
