South Korean band BTS has become the first Asian act to receive American Music Awards’ Artist of the Year twice, after first winning in 2021.
The AMA ceremony, held last night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, marked BTS’s first appearance at a major awards show in four years after the band took a hiatus in 2022 while its seven members completed South Korea’s mandatory military service. BTS returned this year with their new album, 'Arirang'.
