TS attended the star-studded Billboard Music Awards 2018 held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas last May 20th. The group was invited both as nominees for the Top Social Artist award as well as to perform their new track “Fake Love” for the first time on television.

The Top Social Artist award honors an act that perennially occupies the top slots on Billboard’s Social 50 chart, a ranking driven by fan engagement on social platforms. And it was to no ones’ surprise that BTS won the award for the second year in a row.

When accepting the award, RM said, “Thank you so much to Billboard Music Awards for this precious award two years in a row! This time we had a chance to think about what ‘social’ really means for us and some of our fans told us that our music really changed their lives. And now, we realize that our words truly carry weight thanks to you guys. And ARMYs out there, you guys, your words keep us going and keep us striving!”

Jimin said in Korean to their fans, “This award is really one that you all are receiving.

We sincerely thank you and we love you!”

During the final days of Baekje Kingdom, a man who was the only son and heir of a family for seven generations was seriously wounded during a war with Silla.
