We just got a whole lot more excited about the 2017 American Music Awards!
South Korean pop superstars BTS just revealed on Friday (November 3) that they’ll be taking the stage at the AMAs with their first-ever U.S. television performance! They’ll be performing “DNA” from their latest release, Love Yourself: Her!
The superstar boy band has continuously broken records both domestically and abroad, largely due to their incredibly passionate fanbase – the A.R.M.Y.
THe group will perform at the show, which airs live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on November 19 starting at 8 pm EST on ABC.
“We are so excited to be invited to the American Music Awards and to perform on the stage for the first time. All the members are honored to be on the show with other amazing artists, and we’re proud to share this great news with our fans, ARMY,” the group said in a statement.
BTS are teaming up with UNICEF for an amazing cause over the next two years!
The seven-member South Korean troupe revealed a new campaign on Wednesday (November 1) called Love Myself, which will support UNICEF’s #ENDviolence campaign aimed at making sure children and teens lead safe and healthy lives without fear of violence.
Over the next two years, BTS will raise a BTS LOVE MYSELF fund. The proceeds raised will be used to protect and support child and teen victims of domestic and school violence, as well as sexual assault around the world. In addition, the money will be used to provide education to local communities for violence prevention.
The group’s agency Big Hit Entertainment and the seven members of BTS are donating 500 million South Korean won (roughly $450,000), 3% of their income from sales of Love Yourself series physical albums and 100% of income from official goods from the Love Myself UNICEF campaign.

This is maybe the best BTS dance practice we’ve ever seen!
The incredibly successful seven member K-Pop boy band released a dance rehearsal video on Friday (October 27), set to the sound of their Love Yourself: Her bop “Go Go.”
The only thing slightly out of the ordinary? They were all dressed as Snow White and the seven dwarfs! (Well, technically six.)
Right in time for Halloween, the boys suited up in their hilarious costumes while serving up their usual brand of fierce choreography, which only made the outfits even funnier!
Watch the hilarious practice below – and kudos to V for being a beautiful Snow White!
The “He Like That” girl group gushed about their love for the boy band, as well as K-pop in general, during their Most Requested Live Q&A uploaded on Sunday (October 22).
Steve Aoki is coming through with some exciting features!
After the 39-year-old “Just Hold On” producer teased photos hanging out with BTS, he’s now opening up with some new details about their highly anticipated collaboration.
“I’m working on a song that they did in Korea that they asked me to remix and change up the beat and make it my own. It’s an incredible song. The guys are so talented and it’s a pleasure to work with them and their team. I’m excited about that project,” he told Hollywood Life.
As for a release date? “The song is going to drop soon!” he teased.
And there’s more: Steve is also working on a track with Bella Thorne!
“It’s going to be a part of my next album. Neon Future 3 will be coming out next year and she’ll be featured on a song that we worked on together,” he revealed, calling her “incredible.” We’re so excited to hear it!
Do the boys of BTS ever get tired of winning so much?
The hugely popular seven member Korean pop group already made album chart history this year with their latest release Love Yourself: Her, but now, their lead single “DNA” is furthering their legacy with another game-changing record.
“DNA” rose to No. 67 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, officially beating the Wonder Girls‘ previous record with “Nobody” in 2009, which peaked at No. 76.
It is now the highest-charting Hot 100 song from a K-Pop group in history. Will it go even higher next week? We’ll soon find out!
It’s time for another celebration for the BTS A.R.M.Y.!
The hugely popular seven-member K-Pop group just achieved yet another accomplishment by becoming the most followed act in and from Korea on Twitter, with over 8.73 million followers – and rising!
The BTS boys narrowly slid past BIGBANG‘s hugely popular member G-Dragon over the weekend.
The news comes soon after the boys made history with their latest album Love Yourself: Her, which debuted within the Top 10 in the Billboard 200 – a first for a Korean pop act.
