Look back BTS Takes Home Two Daesangs At 2018 MBC Plus X Genie Music Awards

The 2018 MBC Plus X Genie Music Awards recognized BTS’s amazing achievements in the past year with two Daesangs (grand prizes)!

This is the first year of this new award ceremony, which held its inaugural event on the evening of November 6. BTS was awarded two Daesangs, for both Best Artist of the Year and Best Digital Album of the Year for “Love Yourself: Answer.”

When accepting the Best Digital Album of the Year award, Suga first thanked their fans ARMY. He went on to say, “I felt this way while we were working on this album, but I’ve always wanted us to have a good influence on people through our music. We were able to convey our message worldwide with the album, so it’s such an honor. We’ll accept this ‘Best Digital Album of the Year’ award as telling us to make better music, and we’ll convey our messages to fans and everyone else.”

RM commented on how the award presenter Lee Seung Chul had said that the era of the digital album has arrived, and asked everyone to keep watching as they will work hard to make sure each album and performance is worthy even within this new age.

Jin said, “The album contains the message that we should love ourselves, and I hope that everyone also loves themselves and is always happy.”

BTS also won Best Male Dance Performance, the Genie Music Popularity Award, and Best Male Group at the award show. This was the first time the group has won a popularity award, and as it was determined 100 percent by votes from fans, they expressed their thanks to their fans for the meaningful moment.

In addition, Big Hit Entertainment founder Bang Shi Hyuk won Producer of the Year while Son Sung Deuk was awarded Best Choreography for BTS’s “IDOL.”
