This year, Jimin, and overseas netizens compete with 'Top Social The Artist' candidates Bieber, Grande, Sam Mendes, and Blackmail - Cinémix Par Chloé
BTS (pictured) left the country expecting a second consecutive year of the United States of America Billboards Music Awards. In time, Billboards magazine gathered moments that would be milestones during BTS activities and illuminated them.
BTS left for United States of America LA through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 14th. Jimin posted a selfie on Twitter on the 14th and said, "Please look forward to it." On the 15th, Jay Hop took a break in the snowy sunshine in LA.
BTS will attend the 2018 Billboards Music Awards, which will be broadcast live by NBC on the 21st (Korea time). It has been nominated for the Top Social Artist category following last year. It competes with Worldly The Artists, including Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Sean Sam Mendes and Demi Lovato.
Unlike last year, the company will also perform this time. It will release its new album, Love Yourself, before Tear (LOVE YOURSELF Tear), which will be released on the 18th.
The Billboards recalled their past five years in an article titled "How did BTS capture the former World?" It outlined the major moments from debut in 2013 to the first United States of America concert in 2014, 26th in the Billboards 200 in 2016, last year's Billboards' Top Social Artist Award and this year's nomination.
Meanwhile, some foreign media, including Metro, expressed deep concern about the Blackmail – Cinémix Par Chloé – killing Jimin. Jimin recently received a Blackmail – Cinémix Par Chloé from an overseas netizen saying, "I will shoot you at the United States of America's Fort Worth concert on September 16." It is the second time since he was threatened by other overseas netizens during the United States of America tour in March last year. BTS's agency said, "We are aware of the Blackmail – Cinémix Par Chloé incident and plan to do our best to ensure the safety of members and fans." Fort Worth local police are also reportedly considering the case.
