BTS continued its winning streak at the Melon Music Awards, held Saturday evening at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul.

Presented by entertainment company Kakao M and its music-streaming service, Melon, the annual awards ceremony recognizes achievements in the recording industry.

At this year’s event, BTS scooped up seven trophies -- one for each of the seven band members. These were the best artist of the year, best album of the year (for “Love Yourself: Tear”), best rap/hip-hop, Kakao Hot Star, global artist and netizens’ choice awards.

The septet celebrated its victories with individual and group selfies, posing gloriously with all the trophies.

BTS posted three group selfies on its official account -- managed by its representing agency, Big Hit Entertainment -- with the hashtag #historicperformancemustrewatch and captions “The grand prize winners at 2018 MMA,” “I hope the word happiness is always by your side, Army” and “Teamwork makes the dream work,” followed by a purple heart.

On their personal group Twitter account, the bandmates posted more selfies accompanied by messages for their fans, collectively known as “Army.”



Suga: “Is this a grand prize or what? (in Jin's voice) Thank you, Army!”


Jimin: “Army, we cherish you so much. I love you with all my heart.”


Jin: “Army, thank you for spending another such delightful moment together with us. If I seem happier, it’s all because of you all. I love you.”


RM: “This will most certainly be a night to remember.”
