The South Korean boy band, BTS (aka Bangtan Boys), were the first K-pop group to win a Billboard Music Award 2017 for the 'Top Social Artist'. Note that Psy was the first K-pop solo artist to win at the Billboard Music Awards back in 2014, for Top Streaming Song for "Gangnam Style." In that category, they beat Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendes

Their fans, known as the "Army," (which stands for Adorable Representative MC for Youth) voted for the award on Twitter and on the awards website, using the hashtag #BTSBBMAS more than 300 million times. Now that's the power of Social Media.

A little history about them...

The 7-member band debuted in June 13, 2013 with a contemporary K-pop sound that fuses hip-hop, electronica and rock under Big Hit Entertainment, with the lead single ‘No More Dream’ on album ‘2 Cool 4 Skool’. Their names are: Rap Monster, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, V, Jimin and Jungkook. More information about them here. Their song is mostly in Korean with a little sprinkling of English here and there.

Which of their songs is your favorite? I am torn between 'Not Today' and 'Blood, Sweat & Tears'. They are so fun to watch even though some of us have no idea what they are saying.
