“We congratulate BTS ARMY for receiving the Best Fan Army award. You deserve every bit of this award,” BTS said in a video message posted on Twitter, referring to its global fan community commonly known as ARMY. The band was not able to receive the award in person.

British pop star Ed Sheeran snagged the award for song of the year for “Shape of You” as well as male artist of the year. Female artist of the year went to Taylor Swift, and Cardi B won the best new artist award.

In May 2017, BTS won the top social artist award at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards in the US, becoming the second South Korean artist to win a Billboard award after Psy in 2013. (Yonhap)
