Even if you’re not a K-pop fan, you certainly can’t deny that the most talked about performance at the American Music Awards was a performance put on by one of Korea’s hottest boy bands.
And they weren’t even nominated for an award.
It was truly a historic moment, not just for the fans, but for their beloved idols, BTS, a K-pop septet that left ARMYs crying and screaming, Jared Leto speechless and the whole world tweeting.
While America has seen K-pop acts before — stars like Big Bang and EXO have toured here — it’s have never seen group quite like BTS, who are the torchbearers for K-pop. BTS, formally known as “Bangtan Boys” or “Bulletproof Boy Scouts,” is a Korean boy band composed of three rappers and four singers, all in their early 20s.
