BTS won the "Top Social Artist" award last year at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, USA on July 20.
Top Social Artist' prize goes to an artist who has been loved in the public for the past year. The winner is determined by adding the results of the Billboard's "Social 50" chart rankings, fan participation indexes in major SNSs, and global fan voting on March 14-20. BTS won this year's top prize, beating Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.
BTS said, "We are thankful for bringing up the important prize for two consecutive years." "Some fans told us that our music changed their lives, but how much power is it to be transferred through social (SNS) I realized."
