The main character of the 2018 Melon Music Awards (2018 MMA), which marks its 10th anniversary, was BTS without fail.
BTS won two awards, The Artist of the Year and Album of the Year, among the four categories, at the 2018 MMA held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul on the 1st. He also won seven trophies, including the netizen popularity award, the Global The Artist Award, the Kakao Hot Star Award, the rap and hip-hop awards, and the top 10.
“The first thing you want to do is Thank You (Fandum Name) for giving you such a big prize,” BTS Sugar said. I have been in trouble since my debut, and the world thought that it would only give us trials, but eventually they became a big manure, so only good things are happening. "I really appreciate you to all of you who have become our fans." Ji Min told his fans, "Thank You for being our day. It's all ours and Thank You. “I will repay you with this award next year,” he said.
Another target, the Song of the Year award, went to the icon. Icon's Love, released in January, topped the Melon chart for 43 days and became popular with cover songs and parody songs around the world, from young children to adults. The icon was also named in the top 10, and leader Mamdouh Elsbiay became the main character of the three-time champion by holding the songwriter award.
“I want to give my heartfelt gratitude to my best Thank You and my beloved icon (Fandum name) and Thank You and I am sorry for always serving as a breakwater for our icons who are hitting the waves without any reason,” said Mamdouh Elsbiay.
Another new target this year, Record of the Year, was won by Wanna One, who also won the Top 10 and Dance Namju categories. Leader Yoon Ji-sung tears to his fans, saying, "Thank You for making our dreams come true and allowing us to dream." “I’m going to be proud of them for a long time,” said Ong Sung-woo, “the son of a proud mother, a family member, and Wanna One of Wannable.”
