edit: a little reminder - as namjoon speaks, love yourself and others, stay humble and kind, fly with our wings in 2017 and thanks to all armys all over the world for your devotion to voting, we have gotten so far in breaking records and winning awards and its barely even half of 2017 and we will continue our support for bts, APPLAUSE FOR ARMYS THIS IS MY FANDOM👏👏👏 (prepare for bts' anniversary!! - june 13th)
Taehyung(⌒ｏ⌒) EXACTLY....THAT IS NOT MULTIUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL SUPER POWER....*STRONG POWER THANK YOU*
Taehyung(⌒ｏ⌒) lol
Taehyung(⌒ｏ⌒) yasss my bby 💖
Taehyung(⌒ｏ⌒) Y E S.
Taehyung(⌒ｏ⌒) even though he lacks in words but he just sounds right for some reason.
I love how rapmons answer to her last question was just like, "we were really awkward at our first award show....we still are." 😅
I love how Namjoon becomes *100x hotter* in America.
JustAnotherBtsArmy maybe it's bc of the weather XD
FINALLY SMB SAID IT! I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY XD
ikr. The vibe changes😍🤣
😂😂
Q: What did you wanna be when you were younger?
yoongi: to come to billboard
jin: to go to las vegas
joon: ffs guys-
and now they have 4 concerts in Las Vegas
hoseok is trying so so so hard to be present and interactive and follow along, it's so sweet.
😍😍😍😍😍
the hope of the group
Cory Anne Salo He's so underrated but he's honestly the sweetest
He's my bias :p
he's adorable, he's not my bias but no Army can dislike him he's our sunshine so lovable
*Finally shows some BTS*
Me:chhhhhiiillllll...stay caaalllmm..
*inhales*
*then namjoon starts talking*
Me:"KIM NAMJOON,KIM SEOKJIN,MIN YO-........oh.."
=)))))))
Hahahahhahahahahahahhahahhhhaaaahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha lol
Cosmina Anisim I LITERALLY DROPPED OFF THE BED AND DONE LIKE 3 HIGH KICKS XD
Cosmina Anisim why is this me
I have never appreciated Namjoon so much. To be able to be in the public eye of the US and be able to keep his cool and represent his members well, that must have taken a lot of courage and perseverance. I am incredibly proud of him.
This year BTS were the highlight of the BBMA wether you knew them or not, but I think a performance from them would have left everyone even more shook.
But at least they could eat and enjoy the show😘
This award was definitely a huge thing! I bet (or rather hope) that BBMAs noticed the huge potential and will invite them next time to perform
very no fun yes, and perhaps they would've gained even more fans/appreciation from other celebrities if they saw their talent LIVE. Even if it was one song.
They performed :)
You mean (jung)shook? ;)
namjoon looks hella good im shooketh
Alexandria Lopez they all look hella good, I had to watch the video 7 times so I could stare at each one individually
Alexandria Lopez NAMJOON WAS SO DISRESPECTFUL
Interviewer: "Any US tour dates in the future?"
Namjoon: "Actually, we've just finished our tour.
Like five shows.
Arenas."
THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD
hold up "...first award show you've attended ANYWHERE in the world"
Does MMA, MAMA and other award shows in Korea just not exist or something? I get it you're American and I don't know what the details of this woman's job are, but I find this shows that no research had been done and it sounds ignorant to me
.
.
sorry for the negativity but it rubbed me the wrong way. Congrats to BTS for winning an award at the BBMAs!!
pinalina she was asking for their memories of the first award show anywhere in the world that they attended.. anywhere in the world includes south korea. please make sure you understand what you're listening to before you get so angry. she was just asking what their first award show was like
Yeah.. I it was big fail..
did u even understand the question loll
whateva56 It was still a little confusing when she said that, but I understand better now, thanks to you! Thank you! 😃 I'm sorry if I sounded so angry, I didn't actually feel that fired up about it. I'll be more cautious about how I type in the future!
If Taehyung had answered he would say "a sexy porn star" 😂
i was literally thinking that 😂
i was waiting for that lmao😂😂😂
Georgia lmp OH MY GOSH!!!!
Raveena Kaur lol 👏😂
IKR XD
NO WHITEWASHING NO NOTHING
JUST MY BEAUTIFUL SUN KISSED BOYS
THIS 👏😍
Yes! They looked incredible. Especially Namjoon, his skin is beautiful
honestly i think they've never looked this handsome before!! namjoon is so handsome he's just oozing charisma, everyone's so radiant and glowing like??? i genuinely enjoy looking at them
I was SCREAMING for the darker skin that they have! they looked so handsome with those tans! I hope they can keep it up but I k ow as soon as they hit Korea its back to the pale skin mode. 😶
Qween K I know they look so beautiful and just simply amazing, they are glowing, you could really see the details in their faces unlike when their faces are whitewashed, you sometimes can't even see the normal details that should be in their faces. In other words I hope they look like they naturally look all the time
I laughed so hard when jimin just randomly said "Thank You" at the middle of namjoon's answer
dog poop lmfao I just noticed that 😂😂 he looks funny asf 😂
dog poop When? 😂😂😂
Elizabeth Alvord 00:48
he just thankful to armys for waiting. so its not random. I don't find anything funny there
he was so happy to be able to use an English word that he knows! :D
Aww he said they're lucky to have Armys. That's funny I thought we were the lucky ones.
Alex Park lol right
I love how Hobi reacts when he recognizes the word billboard when Rapmon first says it
and when the last question about awkward.
Behind Rapmonster, there's hobi acting akward expression.....hahaha
so extra
I'm a huge EXO-L but I was sooo proud of them winning this award, I was watching the show the whole night. I was so happy when everyone stood up and Miley was clapping for them :-)
It's kpop and we r all in this together
Thank you for support! I hate when fans of two big groups are expected to hate each other like ARMY and EXO-Ls. People like you make me very happy and I am glad that you supported them for this. We are all in this together!
Kyungsoo Ch Thank you! I'm a huge ARMY but if it were EXO or any other group I'd still vote for them! Kpop is a great genre and it deserves recognition!! :)
Same❤️
Trueee IGot7 here but I've never been a bigger ARMY before in my life 😂😍👏
Speaking of Miley, have you guys seen how much she changed? She was covering her body with clothes, nothing was over the top, and she was crying. Like Damn!
Also so proud for BTS!!
namjoon who? I only know Mr Worldwide
PITBULL LOL! ded
Puri Eliyo we need a Pitbull and BTS collab lolol
D4NIELLA omg that shit would be bomb af!!!!!
Did anyone else notice the "We're memories" instead of "our memories"? 😂 Gotta love my baby monster 💖😍
Melany ikr hahahaha
+pink mochi omg this comment tho 😂 👌👌👌
I try so harddd asdfghjkl
Ohhhhh I thought he said weird memories
Lol! It's probably the nerves! It's kind of big for them to be in an international award show. I mean i screw up my english when i'm nervous. And after the day end and recall what happened... I would say: Cant believe i just said that! LOL!
hahaha he was probably very nervous... I think he said "우리의 memories", like he started in Korean and said "our", which sounds like "oo-ree-wae" and changed back to English ^^
Kim namjoons dimples are the cutest 😍
"What does it mean to you to be at this big US award show" It sums up what Billboard thinks of BTS. Yes they where there because of the Army, but when you invite some one all the way from Korea, in the middle of their tour, and they have the most fans on socialmedea, they have the most fans waiting from early morning outside the show and they have the most fans inside at the award show, YOU LET THEM F***ING PERFORM!!!
Nico Pedersen such a pity, because they would've been made history on that stage
BTS BANGTAN I don't know why your comment got deleted, it's not that different from mine. But i think it's the same for a lot of people, i only watched because of BTS, so i don't understand why they didn't get to perform.
^^ hmm..I have no clue either
You're right gallll... Borahae
LETS JUST APPLAUD THE ONE AND ONLY LEADER OF BTS FOR STAYING SO COOL THROUGH THE ENTIRE INTERVIEWS AND HELPING THE BOYS COMMUNCIATE. BOWS*
yessss he had all the responsibilities, must have been a lot of pressure, and he did so well
i could tell that namjoon was a little nervous 😂 his eyes got so wide every time he spoke
haha yes ofc he must have been nervous
he's honestly such an amazing leader and handles pressure so well!
Why are some fans so shocked they didn't perform. They got to LA on Friday and have been on tour, when would they have time to practice for a stage that's planned months in advance. Come on their incredible but there not superheroes😂
Cool Auras15 they might actually be superheroes..lol but they need *rest* .. ppl should understand that too
yess exactly! it must've been exhausting meeting all these new people and having to speak english! I'm glad they didn't perform, the adrenaline from winning and speaking infront of all those artists they admire and stuff would be so nerve wracking, I bet they all just collapsed when they got back to the hotel. I hope they get more rest now, but then namjoon said they've got their new album and I was like WTF NO give yourselves more rest!!!
I know right? They actually have a concert in 4 days, in Sydney, Australia. 4 days later, they start the Japan leg of the Wings 2017 tour, with 13 stops over 6 weeks. Thinking about it is hella exhausting to me.
Cool Auras15 thank you! Lets keep in mind that they were not even originally invited so some army now expecting a performance was unrealistic and kind of immature to me.
THANK YOU OMG FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS X.X
awww, its so sweet how namjoon translated everything to the members
Rap monster is so handsome i can't even explain
anyone else find hoseoks "we love army" at 0:55 adorable? You can see him nod to himself as he prepares to say it. He's such a little dork
Maleeha Ahmad super adorable
they all are super duper adorable 😍❤
Maleeha Ahmad It was so adorable I was like "*Suga voice* J-HOOOOPE!"❤
I'm not a kpop fan but these guys were so humble and cute! Makes me want to listen to their work!
Update: army's are so nice!! Makes me want to join the fangirl group more!
Update 2: I'm sorry for excluding the fanboys! I love that there are also fanboysss 😍
A MA they are definitely worth checking out! :D they work really hard.
these comments make me so happy >.
A MA check out not today, blood sweat and tears, fire, spring day and bangtan bombs 😭😍
You're so welcome to enjoy their music! Trust me, a life changing experience :))
Guys i'm so scared to get obsessed :( bcs they are so cute 😍 thanks for all the recomendations! First lesson: fanbase is called ARMY's? If so, thats freaking cool!
I'M SO PROUUUUUUUD BTS WE DID IT OMG!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS! A gente conseguiu B-Armys !!!!!!
*This day went so great for our boys! They were really blessed by this opportunity and I'm so proud to be and ARMY!*
You know you in too deep when you're more comfortable with then speaking Korean than English
LMAO YES WTF I FEEL SO WEIRD
JESUS ITS LIKE IVE BEEN EXPOSED
OMG yes. i've always wanted them to speak in english when i first got into them. but now that im familiar with korean i feel comfortable when they speak in korean. but im so proud that rapmon handled all the inteviews professionally and all the others also made an effort to talk even small english words. im so happy for them. i hope that all of them will be happy like this throughout the coming years
TWICE's pet hamster true.
I feel like I will understand better if they speak in Korean even though I don't know Korean😂😂😂😂
It felt weird watching an award show that didn't have subtitles.
rapmon talking in english is my aesthetic
but rapmon talking in korean is my aesthetic too...
rapmon talking is my aesthetic
rapmon existing is my aesthetic
hobi hobi I was going to say that too lmao
Shame they couldn't perform, since they're more talented than majority of the people there.
Linnyboy true because Beyonce wasn't there. 😂😂
Linnyboy true, they are indeed a real talent and put the stage on fire whenever they perform. I've been on their live show once and they were like gods, I swear.
Linnyboy Haha
OMG YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS YOU ARE SO TELLING THE TRUTH IMSO PISSED WE WORKED SO HARD AND THEY COULDNT PERFORM TT
Uh...when did I say that they were NOT talented? All I said was BTS was MORE talented. And that's a fact.
Me saying BTS is MORE talented doesn't mean the other artists are NOT talented. You're making a false equivalence.
The other artists are talented, and all I'm saying is BTS is MORE talented.
Do you understand? It's not that difficult.
LOL when reporter ask the Q and all member all like "Namjoon please say somethinggg"
Omg our precious hobi: "wow, billvo"
Hey! Stahb it! that was so cute, I love them🤧🤧🤧
i died xDD
Hey! Stahb it! 😂😂😂
He's so cute!
I'm not a big BTS fan (although I think Jimin is a really good dancer) but it makes me happy to see a kpop group getting recognized outside of Asia. They're really showing the world that kpop groups are talented and full of charisma. They can sing and rap and their dancing is just amazing. More people need to appreciate kpop in general!
K-pop has been getting big for the last few years. Conan O'Brien and Steven Yeun (of The Walking Dead fame) worked with JYP, and Twice and that got a lot of attention in the US.
bridgetonowhere yep you're totally right! hopefully other kpop groups get their deserved attention worldwide too(the real deal i mean)! bts is great and it would be soo cool if now other kpop groups can join them at the top too (armys, i don't mean it like being at the same leve or beating them but more in a peaceful way where kpop RULES THE WORLD!)!! 😉
To the new fans of BTS, please treat them with all the love in the world and as much as respect as humanly possible. They are ARMYs absolute world and they deserve the whole world. 💓💓
THIS IS WHAT I CALL LEGENDS! WHO SUFFERED FOR YEARS! WHO HAS SOMETIMES DIDN'T EAT MEALS AND SLEPT ON THE FLOOR! WHO LEFT THEIR FAMILIES AND LIVES TO DO THIS! THEY ARE LEGENDS WHO WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY!
Thank you Namjoon for answering each and every question with such confidence. Also thank you for translating it for your members and despite the strange environment and thank you BTS for staying true to yourselves. You deserved the award and the recognition and Army's hope you had a fun time attending the BBMAs. Maybe next time we will be able to see you perform on stage 💜
Who needs a bias when you have BTS
This made me emo. 😭
"first award show in the world" "any us tours"
wtf is the reporter talking about
IKR!!
She didn't want to assume that their first award show was in Korea. Tbh, that was pretty respectful and thoughtful. For all she knows, maybe they had a first award show in Japan or something. You probably interpreted it as, she thought the Billboard's was their first award show.
The "any tours in the us" question gives them bragging rights about their sold out shows so I'm okay with it. The highlight after that is Namjoons humble response... I have hearts in my eyes they truly are some of the best role models in the music industry. Respect.
slick vick I think she tries to ask them questions new people would want to know about, hence the obvious stuff :)
She asked them what memories they have from their first award show. She knew that BBMAs weren't their first one (just their first one in America) so she wanted to know how they felt on their first award show (which was back in 2013 like Namjoon explained).
I'm an avid EXO-L but been loving BTS's music eversince Boy In Luv and god how far have they gone now! I'm super proud and will keep on supporting them! CONGRATULATIONS BOYS! 💕💕
Am i the only one who's pissed at the first line?
"begged for you to be here"? seriously?
It's their fucking fault for not inviting them when they were fricking nominated like wth? so if they won should no one show up on stage?
Aneesha Varma Yes! She should have said your fans FOUGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT to be here.
Aneesha Varma omg yesssssss this interviewer rubbed me the wrong way ..I let it slide when she said that armies begged ...but when she goes on to say when do you think you will be doing a concert in the US I fucken lost it...bitch they just finished their sold out world tour ..5 concerts in the us that sold out in just minutes...how the fuck are you a reporter when it's your job to educate yourself before interviewing people fucken idiot
Aneesha Varma they probably didn't expect them to get many votes
Rapmon is such a good leader..He always translates things to the boys so that they can also get what's going on! 😘😘😘
Not an army or bts fan since im more into BIGBANG AND YG artists. But im just seriously super super duper duper happy and proud for them. FOR REAL!!! I even cried when they won. Like, im not really faking this. Im so happy.. All their hard works are so so worth it. God really love those people whose working for their dreams. It so cute on how they're fanboying to all the artists in BBMA. And i still remember on how BTS said before that BIGBANG are their inspiration. Im so happy.. I can't!!.. Their award isn't just for them but also for their fans and for the entire KPOP INDUSTRY.. And i just hope that BTS will stay their feet on the ground and won't have a big head. I just want them to stay humble and like always been before. Never ever change huh!! I love you guys. God bless you!!!
Bless YG's Pet Chicken I totally agree. Bts isn't my fav group, I do like them, but it's so awesome to see kpop being represented and also to see asian artists win awards at an american award show.
@Bless YG's Pet Chicken: I totally agree with you. This win introduced KPop as a legitimate genre to the mainstream US music landscape. BTS and ARMYs opened the door; now it'll be easier for other KPop acts to follow and be taken seriously.
Honestly, thank you and every other kpop fan that has helped and supported us through this journey! Without you all, there is absolutely no way we could have made it this far! We, as ARMY, are so happy and I hope in the future we can help other fandoms within the kpop community to feel like this also!
I'm also a YG Stan but BTS was the first group who made me cross that line because they are just that incredible. I'm so happy that I made the right choice by stanning this group. thanks for the support:)
i need exo on bbma xD
*the third one from the left*
*the one on the left*
*the one in the middle*
IM LAUGHING BUT I DONT GET IT BUT IM LAUGHING
Magic people on twitter called them that because they dont know their names 😂😂
"your fans BEGGED for you to be here tonight, and here you are" oh no sweetie what is you doing??
sætre yeah haha I don't think it's considered begging when they were already nominated in the first place. I don't understand how they can nominate an artists and not invite them to actually be there, were they already expecting them to lose? Lmao they thought
Namjoon did a great job speaking for the boys and translating to them! What a great leader and good win! ahhh
hobi..the only thing he has understood😂😂😂😂
LOOL so cute "bilvo"
you know what makes me happy? not the fact that they won award (even tho it does lol but it is not the most important), but the fact that all they talked about was army and how happy and proud they are of all of us. tbh I dont get that kind of connection of artists and their fans from other celebrities so this is why I love bts even more cuz thex think of us all the time. and all the litte things they do, sharing selcas, vids, doing vlives for us and skits makes my heart grow even fonder of them. i hope in future they continue to slay 😍😎😜
rap mon was really good at these rapid-fire interviews ..even though he's an ESL speaker and he taught himself.. he conducts himself well and is a great asset to BTS in so many ways.. There would be no BTS without the leader so please appreciate him
SO proud of Namjoon he was amazingly composed the whole time, he did so great answering everyone's questions!! AND SO PROUD OF BTS AND ARMY BANGTAN SONYEONDAN FIGHTING!!!!
I feel the same! I was SO proud seeing Namjoon be the voice for the group. It's a lot of pressure! He learned English all on his own and then had to go in front of all those people and speak. He was amazing
GangstaWafflez I especially appreciate how Namjoon tried to include all the other members too
People, fellow lovely Armies, please calm down. It was known from the start that they're not going to perform because the artiss are chosen so far from advance and probably because of their schedule too.
And yes, the interviewer here isn't the best one but let's not disrespect her for her doing her job and trying her best.
Let's just be happy that they really won!
You know you've gone in too deep when you're more comfortable hearing them speak in korean rather than english
Latte Knowsbest Ikr
We are called army
First time with BTS???
Namjoon you legend! I love you BTS! 💖 They totally deserved the award. They're the best . I've never been as obsessed with any type of music than I am with BTS right now. And I'm an international army as well.
hobi is so cute i cant
Rapmon is a true leader! So proud of ma boys! First ever k-pop artists to win a Billboard award- that is incredible!
I love how jimin looks better in a choker than most girls XD my beautiful chim chim
real happy for them like ofc i am and im super glad that they get to finally rest but I'm still so saddddd bc they're comeback is next year so far awayyy
Ther're comeback isn't next year, they will comeback after the tour end in august, spetember or october don't worry, they said they are working on the next album while touring, and j-hhope said he will have a mixtape this year too so you can look forward to it :))
lol i love your name
Craul VB oh cool thank you xx
A Cup of Tae thanks lmao i like yours too
Craul VB omg jhope is releasing a mixtape???? yaaaaaas! i've been waiting for that :3 and hopefully they can at least get some rest before their next comeback ;-;
I'm so new in this, but I must say that they're super sweet and the leader (I don't know his name) wow! he's the man or mom haha. I think it's well deserved bc I saw a few of their performances and it was amazing. also their fans are the best hahah.
Aranza Espinosa His name is Rapmon. You should check out their dance practice videos for 'Fire', 'Blood, Sweat &Tears', and their Not Today MV. They're so talented, yet still humble and down to earth.
Aranza Espinosa Rapmon is actually the dad of the group and Jin (the oldest member) the mom. Yes. A lot of people ship them (ㆆ_ㆆ) Also, I personally like how BTS have their more "cooler and harder" (i dont know how to describe it tbh) Songs like Fire, Not Today etc. and they have their sweet, soft, sometimes sad Songs like Spring Day, Butterfly, Rain...
His name is Kim Namjoon and goes by the stage name Rap Mon(ster) and he is a talented man with a wondeful personality.
Aranza Espinosa HE IS NAMJOON THE LEADER OF BTS AND THE DAD WHO IS IN CHARGE HIS WIFE AKA MUM OF BTS IS JIN
Please don't ship them here because it's very akward for new people :c
Namjoon looking like a snack, slaying all the interviews, speaking like English is his first language. That's my baby right there
woAHH BILLBOARD!
I was literally shaking when I heard Logan Paul say *and the billboard music award goes to...... BTS* I screamed my lungs out cried/sobbed😭 and then started chanting their names and hugging 🤗 the freaking TV💝💯 They made us proud ARMY😭❤️💯
BTS is so humble, they deserved their win!
namjoon *pointing at suga*: "he said 'coming to billboard'"
*the others are laughing*
*suga is like yeah swag*
namjoon *points at jungkook*: "he said 'coming to las vegas'"
*jungkook does his evil laugh*
lmao
RM has really great facial expressions. He is genuinely listening to everything that is said. Amazing skills
I still can't get over the fact they didn't perform 😭😭
Jeon Seonji why???
Jeon Seonji same 😭
maybe next time, until then let's work hard !!
Jeon Seonji I'm just happy they got here, and I'm sure they will perform net year.
I think they shouldn't perform in BBMA right away. Good thing that they attend first, gain more Intl. recognition and perform on BBMA next year, this way other intl. artist will appreciate them more.
NAMJOON SPEAKING IN ENGLISH GIVES ME LIFE
namjoon has an accent and it kills me 😧❤
For those who don't know BTS: In English they are usually just called BTS or Bangtan boys. Bangtan means bulletproof. Their music represents young people. By bulletproof they mean that they are like a shield, protecting our generation from the criticism it constantly gets. You would have to get pretty deep into their lyrics to understand though. They write the music themselves and produce some of the songs too. There's a lot of social and political commentary in the lyrics, music vidoes, and even the choreography, including calling out specific politicians (Am I Wrong), paying tribute to the kids that died in the Sewol tragedy (Spring Day), and using lyrics inspired by a Martin Luther King speech (Not Today) to encourage collective action to fight for what we want.
Marie Michelle Quintos I did not know about these! Thank you so much ♡
Rap monster IS A KING 👑👑👑
I'm so proud of them!! They deserve the world, and I'm so happy they won. They still need more recognition but it's their first time at Billboard's Awards. ARMY let's work extra harder to repeat this but this time they will perform♡
I LIVE FOR KIHYUN VOCALS yeah, we have to beg harder next time...
Omo~ Namjoon is so handsome!!!
I MADE MY SISTER AN ARMY BECAUSE OF THEIR FIRST WIN! 😢😭😭😭💕💞
i really love thiss man... touchdown #namjoon 👏👏👏
rapmonie babe my husband is the best:33333
I never realised how awkward they look in western eyes xD in korea they're just super cool goofs. but in America they are cutesy weird goofs :') oh cultural differences
Alexa Ari Go Also theyre trying to be formal but not disrespectful, but not awkward while representing their country in the USA. So you could say the pressure was on.
Alexa Ari Go HAHAH
Hearing RapMonster talk and be so respectful makes me want to listen to their work, which I will by the way. I'm a true rookie to their music
0:07
MY GOD THEIR FACES!!!
V:Actually I don't speak english...
Jimin:Namjoon go! I don't know English
J-Hope: I have no idea what their saying so I'll just keep smiling for the whole entire video
Namjoon:...
Jin: wheres my food?
Jungkook: DID YOU JUST CALL ME OPPA? OH HELL NAH
Yoongi:...uhhh excuse me but the camera is not showing me...
jimin looks so sad omg
He said on the fancafe that he was nervous and was having a really bad anxiety.
I don't know what's wrong but I wanna hug him so bad 😭😭😭😭😭
billboard is such a huge award to them..i mean that show itself....he's just nervous about that because it feels surreal...you know like feeling fidgety....because your excited but at the same time nervous...thats what he wrote in the fancafe....
He hates America
Them dislikes are HATERS 😂😂😂
Easter Bunny nah I think most disliked the reporter...lol
whenever an english interviewer asks a question all of their eyes on rapmon like "hyung speak!"
a day may come when we lose but is not today ,today will fight ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😻😻😻😻😻😻
I'm not an ARMY but I'm legit tearing up omg hahahaha. congratulations everyone
im not even their fan but wow bts is fucking crazy. they're dope. i hope my fave can follow their path!
i love at the start when the interviewer says 'your fans begged for you to be here tonight' and jungkook looks shy and smiley and so cute!!!
When he switches from english to korean its just😍😍

I'm new in the ARMY familly, at first i only watched Blood, Sweet & Love and without realising it i was making and thinking avoir some theories , i watched many MV and videos to know who are the members (it was with this band love at first sigh and listen, not because they are popular) but what amaze me is the ARMY familly people from here (in the comments and in the MV and blog) are so kind and supportive for anyone even people who are knew , so take care well or me and of our babies/band 🙏 CONGRALUTATION BTS
ARMY is a sincere familly i love seeing so much love
Right ! The best family hope our boys would make something more huge tomorrow and in the future
*big hugs for everyone ❤ (i'm sure they are pround or us)
it's actually blood sweat and tears but dawww we're such a big family❤
Omg, Namjoon is 23 yrs old when they are so many interviews in western. And look, How smart he is to handle all of interviews as leader. Thank you namjoon.
I just realized how much responsibility Namjoon had that year, when other members didn't understand English at all, and he was representing to the whole world the image of BTS...Gosh.. he handled it so well, Joonie represents the core meaning of the word leader💜
As a monbebe, I also feel like they won this for all of K-Pop in a way. I'm proud and overjoyed. They literally won an award that shows how much their fans love them. Honestly, they deserve this. I'm so glad they're paving the way for K-pop in general.
Also, it's so nice to see them with tans! hahaha
Namjoon appreciation post. Since I found Bts I've been impressed with Joonie's talent and brains. He has taken the responsibility long ago to be the face of Bts, which includes speaking English during international interviews and translating for the boys. He did an amazing job during the Wings Tour in the USA and during the BBMAS interviews. He said he was nervous during the Vlive last night, however he held himself together, and expressed what he wanted to say perfectly, especially during their award speech. I'm sure he also spoke a lot of English to other celebrities. I couldn't imagine a better leader. Almost 2 years later I'm still impressed and appreciate him SO MUCH. Congratulations BTS and Army for winning Top Stoical Artist. #BrainMon 1 of 7 Of My Soulmates

These interviews make me a little angry.
RapMon is an ESL speaker. He's damn good but he's not perfect. Yet these interviewers all talk so fast and use so many colloquialisms. You can see him struggle to understand in parts, even on easy questions, just because of the delivery. Slow it down a tad dudes, you'll get more meaningful interviews.
Yeah, even as a native English speaker it took me a whole second to understand her sometimes. Like she worded some of her questions kind of awkwardly and then she was speaking 100mph on top of that.
Exactly!! During the first few seconds I paused and was like: "Could you talk any faster? Slow down, girl!" I had to prepare myself before I was able to continue watching the video. She was probably unaware... but still... it was unprofessional and kinda ignorant tbh
Emily Hillier I love how our leader handles everything with ease though. Especially last night I noticed how amazing Rapmon is at communicating, it wasn't an easy task for him but he did it in the end and his winning speech was wonderful, that's all that matters. But anyways next time they should be interviewed by people who at least know annyeonghaseyo. lol
linaeagle I don't believe they need to know any korean at all. Its not necessary and not really useful knowledge in the US. Although some basic knowledge of the group would be a bonus (the interviewer who didn't even know that only RapMon spoke English was a thing).
But honestly, just some common courtesy to speak in a way they understand. I watched more than one interview where there was a person behind camera who 'translated' for RapMon. And by translated I mean they said the question again In English but at a slower speed. And shockingly he understood just fine. Time could be saved if they just spoke slow to begin with.
I'm passionate about this. Maybe its because I am an ESL teacher in Korea. But it makes me sad when people who are so good at English are made to feel inadequate because native speakers can't slow down just a little.
(Funnily it happens even more in reverse. Korean speakers will speak at normal speed and use colloquialisms with me and I'm terrible at Korean. Even worse, many people laugh when foreigners mess up. But that doesn't mean English speakers can't be nice.)
Emily Hillier Yeah I was just joking, I actually agree with you. We can't expect someone speaking in korean to them but they should at least have background information about the nominees. Well this was their first huge appearance at a US award show, hopefully people will treat them nicer next time. Seriously Americans need to accept the fact that not everyone speaks perfect english and they don't have to, it's perfectly fine. I don't either btw. Nonetheless I'm proud of Rapmon for doing his thing and including the members in the interviews.
JOONIE DID SO GOOD AT TRANSLATING WHAT A KING
I LOVE NAMJOON OMG
