[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dong-hyun] The group BTS won the 'Favorite Pop Duo·Group' category at the American Music Awards (AMA) for the third consecutive year.
On the 21st (local time), BTS took home the 'Favorite Pop Duo·Group' trophy at the '2021 AMA' held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, USA. The AMA is one of the three major music award ceremonies in the United States. BTS has won the trophy in this category for three consecutive years since 2019.
This year, they proved their global success by topping the Billboard main singles chart 'Hot 100' for a total of 10 weeks with "Butter." Additionally, "Permission To Dance" and "My Universe," a collaboration with the band Coldplay, also reached number one on the Hot 100.
When BTS's name was announced as the winner, they expressed their gratitude to ARMY (BTS fans) by saying, "You are our universe." They continued, "It took four years to receive this trophy. Because we are a small boy band from Korea, this award means even more. We united with only a love for music and wanted to convey love through music and performance. This would have been impossible without ARMY," sharing their thoughts.
