K-Pop Group BTS Blown Away to Be Nominated for the Billboard Music Awards 2017

BTS are the first K-Pop group to ever be nominated for a Billboard Music Award, and they are loving every minute of it.

The guys — Rap Monster, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook — are up for the Top Social Artist award at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards.

On the red carpet, host Laura Marano asked the band what their key to have amazing socials is.

“I think it’s true communication,” they said. “We were using our Twitter and YouTube before our debut. We try to always show our feelings, what we’re eating and real-life content. That kept show our journey over four or five years.”

The band cracked the U.S. market with their second full-length album, Wings, even embarking on a sold-out stateside tour in April.
