First Asian artist in history to win artist of the year at an American award show

they used to be so scared of the mic and now they’re all fighting for it lmao 😭

Yoongi's speech: 4 years ago we made our american tv debut with DNA at the AMAs, never knowing we'd get to receive the Artist of The Year Award. It's all because of Army, THANK

[sanoyuzuru]

yoongi casually speaking korean in american music awards winning speech is the biggest flex.

[k-lahkhan]

"we want to focus on.."
"enjoying every moment" was what he was going to say but he still did so well and I'm very very proud of his English 😭

[michelleloor]

It's only a 4-minute speech but it's one of the most BTS things ever.

[sabahathfathima]

BTS went from "Please come to our concert it is free" to receiving Artist of the year award, if this doesn't tell you that they built their career from ground up then nothing will.

[superduper]

I love how JK is struggling with his speech while V is dying at the back😂😂
These guys r just adorable ❤

[Khushi-pzgt]

Yoongi's speech translation -

" ah, yes yes, ah.. we made our american debut 4 years ago at amas, and we didnt know we would come to receive artist of the year, we think this is all because of army. thank you!"

💗💜💜💜We r so proud of you Yoongi 💗💜💜💜

*"I seriously forgot what I was about to say..."*
*" I'm nervous, yeah Im nervous, yeah baby- "*
Kim Namjoon ...respect to his humble self who makes amazing speeches, his modest and genuine words touched my heart

[rejanelima]

Yoongi is the most laid-back, personality-filled artist I've ever seen. He speaks in Korean at a big award show like he's in his house. He's the most down-to-earth member of BTS. He doesn't care what anyone thinks, he's just true to himself and does what he thinks is right. Yoongi is my heart.

[tiswhatitis]

Tae was like “I ain’t practice my speech 50 times to not give it; move on!”

[vivrelamour]

At the very end, you can see Jungkook mouth the final words of his speech, “enjoying every moment.” 😊

[bangtansupremacy]

Yoongi doing the speech in korean as he should... KING SHIT

[kpoparmygirl]

V: " *Its massive*-"
Jungkook: " *We wanna focus on*-"

Same energy ~

[bpxlyewz]

I’m glad Suga spoke in Korean too. Only RM is fluent in English and it takes courage to do all the interviews in English, etc. So humble!

[theinternettrashcan]

jungkook is so freaking cuteeee 😭💕 i’m literally so appreciative of his efforts to speak english, he keeps getting better and better

[sumtion]

"we wanna focus on...

"WEWANNAFOCUSON"
that's my favorite part of the entire ceremony...

[JinKaien-wxuo]

RM hugging the members is the sweetest thing ever. So proud of you BANGTANS!!

[ramelkpop]

Rm was trying really hard not to cry 😭
