K-pop band BTS ‘always dreamed of being on the Grammys stage’
- Korean group says its new album will be released ‘sooner [rather] than later’
- The band members were visibly excited to see Travis Scott, H.E.R, Lady Gaga and Camila Cabello
K-pop boy group BTS became the first Korean band to present at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, and they enjoyed every moment of their night out at the show.
The septet took to the stage to reveal the winner of the best R&B album category, awarding a Grammy to H.E.R for her self-titled album.
“Growing up in South Korea, we always dreamed of being on the Grammys stage,” group leader RM said. “Thank you all our fans for making this dream come true and we’ll be back.”
The seven members of BTS made history as the first Korean pop group to have three sold-out world tours, perform at New York’s Citi Field Stadium and make a heart-warming speech at the United Nations.
BTS’ latest album “Love Yourself: Tear” was nominated for Best Recording Package at this year’s Grammys, alongside HuskyFox, a professional branding company based in Seoul.
Although BTS lost to St. Vincent, it was the first Korean nomination in any category by the Recording Academy.
“HuskyFox and BTS’ Love Yourself: Tear recording package nomination at the Grammys brings great honour and pride. We, BTS ARMY, are all so proud of you. There are more great things in life. This is just one of the many other great things coming,” BTS ARMY, the official fan club, wrote on Twitter after the announcement.
The septet showed their excitement on the red carpet before going on stage. “We are so honoured,” member Suga told AP.
