Since their debut in 2013, BTS have built one of the most remarkable awards histories in modern pop music, setting numerous industry records along the way. In South Korea, they have won multiple Daesangs (grand prizes) and became the first act to sweep all major Daesang categories at both the Mnet Asian Music Awards and the Melon Music Awards in a single year. Internationally, they were the first Korean group to win a trophy at the Billboard Music Awards and have gone on to become the most-awarded group in the show’s history. They also made history as the first K-pop act to win Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards and to receive multiple nominations at the Grammy Awards. These milestones highlight not only their commercial dominance but also their ground breaking role in expanding the global reach of Korean pop music.
