After their international takeover a year ago, BTS returns to the same grand stage in Las Vegas for Billboard Music Awards 2018's Top Social Artist Award, the same award that has garnered them critical acclaim.

On 20 May 2018, the 7-member K-pop group overtook superstars like Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato and brought home the Top Social Artist Award for the second year in a row.

Deafening shrieks from excited and happy fans pierced the air as BTS's name was announced.

The K-pop group then graced the stage to accept their award with a heartwarming and sincere speech; thanking fans for their undying support in both English and Korean.

Earlier that day, BTS arrived on the red carpet in seven different Gucci outfits, a label they have professed their love for a long time.

You know they've made it when they can come dressed casually (in Gucci), have fans screaming the entire night for them and walk away with an award from Billboard. Damn!

Historical Night

It is a night where history was made. BTS officially became the first-ever Korean act to perform at the Billboard Music Awards. To add on to the epic night, BTS also performed their latest single 'Fake Love' for the first time on television during the awards ceremony.
