BTS’s incredible 2017 was recognised at the Golden Disc Awards as they beat fellow idols to the Grand Prize.

The band were honoured with the Daesang at night two of the Golden Disc Awards, held at the Kintex Center in Seoul.

The second night of the awards was focused on physical music releases, and won a Bonsang for their album Love Yourself: Her.

NU’EST W, MONSTA X, Hwang Chi Yeol, SEVENTEEN, TWICE, GOT7, Taeyeon, Girls’ Generation, EXO and Super Junior also won Bonsang, with the 11 acts competing for the grand prize – and BTS came out on top.


BTS leader RM kicked off their speech, saying: ‘ARMY! You’re watching, right? We really love you!’



After the members took turns in thanking their managers, agency, family and each other, Jimin said: ‘More than anything, ARMY is always, always supporting and loving us, and I think that’s why we’ve been able to achieve this. So while I don’t know how far we’ll go, I think I want to always be together with you.

‘Thank you so much. Starting from today, we’ll work hard to make great memories this year too. We’re always grateful.’

And J-Hope said: ‘Now that we’ve received this great award, the records and accomplishments we achieved in 2017 suddenly feel real.’

Earlier in the show, the band performed their hit DNA, followed by Not Today.

BTS also won a Bonsang on day one of the Golden Disc Awards for Spring Day – the Digital Daesang was won by IU for her song Through The Night.

2017 was a massive year for the group – made up of RM, Jimin, J-Hope, V, Jin, Jungkook and Suga – with the K-pop princes breaking the United States.

BTS performed at the American Music Awards and saw their song Mic Drop remixed by Steve Aoki and Desiigner, with the latter being played during an NBA match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunders.

The group were even interviewed by Ellen DeGeneres before performing on The Ellen Show.

And we reckon 2018 could be even bigger for these guys – if that’s possible.
