At the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, BTS won the Top Social The Artist Award for the second consecutive year, raising the status of the Global The Artist.
The 2018 Billboard Music Awards (2018 BBMA) was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on the 21st. Mnet delivered the site to the country on a live broadcast of satellites.
The 2018 Billboard Music Awards was hosted by Kelly Clarkson Clarkson, and Mnet satellite exclusive live broadcasts were played by Ahn Hyun-mo, Yoon Sang and Kang Myung-seok.
BTS, which won the top social arts award last year and was honored with the award at the Billboard Music Awards for the first time as a Korean singer, won the top social arts award for the second consecutive year and was delighted with former World fans and Korean music fans.
BTS, who was awarded the prize, said, "I am grateful that leader RM first gave me a prize for two consecutive years. I have been receiving it twice in a row, so I thought about what social means to us. Many people told me that BTS music changes my life. I learned how much music means to say that it is music. "
Ji Min said in Korean, "This award is yours. I am truly grateful and loving."
BTS released its new song "Fake Love" (FAKE LOVE) for the first time in the former World. Host Kelly Clarkson Clarkson said, "I think I should wear earplugs on a big shout," he said. "I am the best boy group in World."
BTS filled the stage with the dance of seven members without dancers, especially when "Fake Love" resonated, with both local audiences and The Artists enthusiastically responding to the stage.
The singer of the year honor went to Ed Sheeran, who unfortunately failed to attend the scene because of the schedule. Ed Sheeran said, "I will receive the first prize on the Billboard, and I thank all those who have been with me."
Meanwhile, the 2018 Billboard Music Awards were full of mourning and memorial atmosphere. In the opening, Kelly Clarkson sent a message of mourning and remembrance, arguing that "we must change so that we do not fear our children by sending them to school and church" referring to the high school shooting that took place in his hometown of Texas on the 18th, and Sean Mendes and Khalid also staged a "Youth" to mourn the victim.
Chainsmokers expressed regret over Avicii's sudden death, which was called the "future of EDM," and delivered a memorial address to his regret at the Top Dance/Electronic Song award speech.
The stage of "Legends" was also unfolded. Cristiano Ronaldo Aguilera performed her new song 'Fall in Line', which was released in six years. Janet Jackson, who won the Icon Award, went live in nine years and performed hits such as 'Nasty' and 'If'. In particular, Janet Jackson came to the water stage and gave a message to the World for which women are no longer oppressed.
