MAMA 2020: BTS sweeps 4 Daesang for the 2nd year in a row; RM states that “ Our ARMYs around the world made this award possible ”

For the second year in a row, BTS swept the four Daesangs at the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Hosted by Song Joong Ki, the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards took place on December 6 without an audience due to COVID-19 restrictions. BTS won a total of eight awards, including the four Daesangs (Album of the Year for Map of the Soul: 7, Song of the Year for Dynamite, Global Icon of the Year and Artist of the Year) and Best male group, Best Performance – Male Group (Dynamite), Best Music Video (Dynamite), and Top 10 Fans’ Choice worldwide. The eight IUs, produced by BTS’s Suga, also won the best collaboration.

In their speech for Album of the Year, presented by James Corden, Jimin said, “Thank you! There are people who may not know it, but Suga is recovering from shoulder surgery. But because we received such a great award, he made a surprise appearance tonight. During a phone call on stage, Suga said, “I’m watching the ceremony live. I would like to thank ARMY, who awarded us the Album of the Year award. This is the second year in a row that we have received the album of the year award. It’s for the album that got the most love this year, right? We worked hard to get this album ready in the US and more so we’re grateful that it got so much love. I’m happy to know that we won album of the year. I am working hard for my recovery, so don’t worry. A lot of people I know text me to tell me they are having fun watching LAM, but it’s weird because I’m not there. It’s a little embarrassing to say that, but I’m with you all in mind. Thank you. ARMY, I love you. “

In his speech for the Global Icon of the Year, presented by Park Seo Joon, RM said in English: “I’m nervous. You can see I’m nervous while wearing a mask. ARMY, can you hear me? First of all, I would like to greet our beautiful Jin from all over the world, and also, I would like to shout out our ARMYs from all over the world. All over the world, in your room, in your home. I hope my truth and my mind can be carried through this paper thing [his mask]. When we think of the “global” I wonder if the world is really big. Sure, it’s wide, but in the territory of music and love, the world is not that big. It’s really small, actually. Throughout this year, thanks to your love and support, we have been able to feel like you are by our side and in our minds. We are all connected. Our ARMYs around the world have awarded this award and presented it to us. I hope you can stay safe and we can meet in person and say “I love you”. “

In the Song of the Year speech, presented by Song Joong Ki, RM said, “MAMA is the only awards ceremony we weren’t invited to when we debuted. We really wanted to come here, and it was a ceremony we felt very envious of, but over time we have received successively such great prizes. It is deeply moving for us. Dynamite is an opportunity that came to us when we were overwhelmed by these tragic times. We didn’t know he would receive so much love. During these difficult times, there were times when it weighed on our minds that only we were receiving such good news and that we didn’t feel comfortable with it. Whether as Dynamite or as Life Goes On, through dance and music, could we say that we should plant our feet in the ground where we are? Because there are so many people who can’t do the job they used to do anymore, we wondered if we could really say something like that. Ultimately, we are people who dance and sing, so we are both grateful and sorry that people have accepted into their hearts our message that we should have faith in a better future. It’s sad and difficult and happy to say this, but time will pass, tomorrow will come and morning will rise. Let’s work hard for a living and welcome the new morning with a smile. Whether it’s explosive like Dynamite or calm like Life Goes On, we’ll stick our two feet in the ground and work hard like BTS. Thank you for all the love you have shown us. “

In their Artist of the Year speech, presented by Lee Jung Jae, J-Hope said, “I am grateful to ARMY for staying with us so late. The weight of this award makes us realize that it is really the end of the year. It is an honor to be able to perform each year at the end of the year ceremonies and to receive such great rewards. Much has changed in the world, but that feeling has not changed. Each year as we take another step forward on our path to growth, the words we say the most are: to our amazing fans. Being able to receive these rewards, being able to perform here, all thanks to ARMY. It’s a little embarrassing to say this, but the heroes of this award are the members. We were able to get through this year thanks to these members and this team. I’m not sure if Suga is watching this, but please get well soon and take the stage with us soon. We shine brighter when you’re with us. “

Jimin added the group’s thanks for his personal staff, the staff of Big Hit Entertainment, and their families and friends. Jimin said: “One way or another, a whole year has passed. We worked so hard, but it felt like it went by so quickly, and sometimes so slowly, that it’s hard to remember everything. I’m not sure how to think about it. It’s complicated and sad and happy and angry and there doesn’t seem to be much that was left behind, but anyway, it did. But we stuck it out, so hopefully next year we can come back here and see each other again. V also added his special thanks for the group’s management team.

The boys also took to Twitter and reacted to their big win. “MMA and MAMA, those honorable days. Thanks for watching and I miss you so much. I love you! “, Said RM. “Thank you for supporting us today. Heart Booing Booing, ” said Jin. Jimin said: “We received 8 awards at MAMA. Something amazing has happened. ARMYs, thanks everyone for watching the show so late and we will work harder in the future thanks !! ” V also added: “Kim taehyung only knows the ARMY. I love you. Thank you. I am waiting for you. See you soon. I miss you. THE ARMY is precious.
