K-pop megastar boy group BTS wrote history as it became the first Korean band to present at the Grammy Awards, and they seemingly enjoyed every moment of their night out at the show.



The septet took the stage to announce the winner for the best R&B album category, awarding a Grammy to H.E.R for her self-titled album.



"Growing up in South Korea, we always dreamed of being on the Grammys stage," group leader RM said. "Thank you all our fans for making this dream come true and we'll be back."



The seven members of BTS have made history as the first Korean pop group to crush three sold-out world tours, perform at New York's Citi Field Stadium in the U.S. and make a heartwarming speech at the United Nations.



BTS' latest album "Love Yourself: Tear" was nominated for Best Recording Package at this year's Grammys, alongside HuskyFox, a professional branding company based in Seoul.



Although BTS lost to St. Vincent, its album marks the first Korean nomination in any category by the "conservative" Recording Academy.



"HuskyFox and BTS' Love Yourself: Tear recording package nomination at the Grammys brings great honor and pride. We, BTS ARMY, are all so proud of you. There are more great things in life. This is just one of the many other great things coming," BTS ARMY, the official fan club, wrote on Twitter right after the winner announcement.
