BTS walking down the red carpet of 2018 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards in sharp in suits is possibly the second most glorious thing that happened all week -- the first being them becoming the first K-pop group ever to win a cultural medal from the government.

The seven boys graced the red carpet of the prestigious award show, where they were awarded the government’s highest honor for artists.

Posing for reporters and fans who awaited their arrival hours before the event, BTS members wore bright smiles and greeted the crowd with waves and polite bows. V even flashed a playful peace sign.

The Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards is an annual government-organized popular culture and arts awards ceremony that celebrates popular culture artists and art works.
