Watch BTS's AMAs 2021 acceptance speech for Artist of the Year. Watch more highlights from 'The 2021 American Music Awards' and Stream Next Day on Hulu.
I'm no BTS fan at all BUT I have high respect for these 7 talented artists for breaking the cultural barrier in an industry that used to snob (for lack of a better term) the Asian talents. Their achievements in the past few years are testaments that western culture are now more fascinated to what the East can offer, even in the world of music/ entertainment. I can say BTS is a legit world-class act!
Only one speaks fluent English. And the rest still try though stuggling to express it, I can really see how far they reached from their humble beginnings. And even as they accept the award, you can really feel how grateful they are. They are so succesful I wish they never change how they make their music
@Happy KAT Ya Jin is naturally funny and has a big heart, when he was younger he was shy and insecure. Even though all of the members have a lot on their plates, I feel like him and RM hold more because RM being the leader and Jin being the oldest. Their Korean songs are stunning like no lie, some of them brought me to tears. Also, I have met and have made many friends who are Army. Its not just a fandom, its a family. I have met so many Army ranging from the age of 20-60. 💜
@Jourdan B. i couldn't agree more. i saw jin's video here in youtube, him talking in english. he can speak though not fluent but conversational. and he managed to be funny too.
I believe all of them know how to speak/understand English (some are just shy), J-hope and a few others are taking English lessons. However, with me, whatever language they want to speak (and sing in) as long as they are happy, that's all that matters to me. I became an Army a few months before the pandemic hit ("Butterfly" did it for me), and their Korean songs and English songs are amazing. Since debut (2013) they have remained humble, which I feel like over the years some artist loose that humbleness. They are all beautiful on the inside and outside. These guys deserve everything great and amazing in the world.
I noticed that also it reminded me of the artist of the year 2016, then behind the scenes when they talked about crying together when watch the awards shows together before they debuted and when their first album came out they also cried together 💜
@bpxl53yewz What are talking about?🤣 Don’t know you blackpink is the first kpop group performed in Coachella?🤣 and Lisa from Blackpink is the Best selling Rap song(Money her b-side) in the U.S surpassing Drake😜😜😜😜😜
I’m a new fan here. Been hearing bout them since then and wondering why they have a huge fan base, im too lazy to check bout them until “V” caught my attention ‘cause of his video that kept appearing on my fyp on tiktok, the one where his face was closed up wearing a squid game costume. Now im literally obsess about them. I love Jimin or should i say he is my bias haha! I love BTS! They are all very talented, and very humble despite their popularity and achievements ❤️
I feel like it's 2015 again when they won with "I need you", so many years passed yet they managed to stay true to themselves they are such a pure souls ❤️🙏
As an Asian person, I really proud of them. Thank you AMAs, for letting them shine on your stage in your country. Because the whole Asia already love them. Now the America and the world start to accept and support them. From Taylor Swift to BTS, this is so amazing☆
I am a senior and grew up with the English invasion in the 60s. I really like these young fellows. I like their music, their dancing and their attitude. I especially like the respect that they show their fans and others that they meet.
Jungkook got me tripping out 😂 You can tell he really rehearsed his lines but forgot some of them. He's so cute lol. I'm so happy for BTS. They are the most deserving and humble dudes ever in my opinion
The way RM hug them all, specially V and Jimin waiting to get their hug from him. They are so happy. They were just themselves when accepting their awards ,still funny and goofy.🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I can’t stop watching this. I love you BTS !!! The naturalness and humbleness of you guys made you so loved by us all over the world. I’m proud to be an army 💜💜💜
@Shyamali Das No one cares about which current singer can sing, talent transcends time. This shit wont hold up in the next 50 years, Stairway to Heaven just did, along with others.
@Red Dash U just called them dancers n then said they're untalented.They use autotune right?How many present day mainstream singers can u name who don't use autotune on the records?How many of BTS songs have u really heard? can u give me a number?And did u just say this wudnt have worked in the 70s...? this is not the 70s...In the 70s you wouldn't have the platform to speak bullsh*t about these amazing performers who have slogged their asses off for years singing, rapping, dancing,producing n composing their own songs,proving themselves over n over again constantly only to be judged for the way they look n deal with racist remarks from ignorant aholes who know nothing abt them..
im at the verge of crying im so proud of my boys when rm said 7 normal boys from korea united by love for music i literally got goosebumps, thiss guys achieved so much which is not possible without their hardwork struggle passion for music , i respect themm so much , i just have no words to explain how much they went through .. purple u bts stay strong and always keep smiling
I've followed them since almost the beginning from france, I never stop supporting them, and my guess for the future were even greater than expected. Congrats boys, keep working like that I'll always support you. Let's hope one day I could say that to you irl, but even if it doesn't happens I'll always keep the support 🔥 I still remember that first nomination at the billboard, I knew instantly that they would win, I trusted the armies on that, it was the beginning of something we couldn't even imagine
there's a compilation of Jungkook out there of him avoiding Namjoon at Korean award shows so he wouldn't speak in the mic but here he was RACING for his turn to talk, in a foreign country and giving the speech in English at that. THAT is character development 😭💜
@NicoleRH🐾 without fear of stupid racist people, like the are so proud of being Korean, I love them so much 💜 They make so many people wants to know their culture and language 💜💜💜
@Myntimenday Hey! Hello! I was wondering if I could take part of your translation and add it (with the due credit included, of course) in a video that I'll probably upload on Twitter? Thanks [for your attention. Because I will not upload it without your permission, haha]!
i can clearly see that how our boys are happy they deserve even more and happiness of the whole world ......btw when RM was speaking maknae line was blushing so hard
Yoongi's speech translation - " ah, yes yes, ah.. we made our american debut 4 years ago at amas, and we didnt know we would come to receive artist of the year, we think this is all because of army. thank you!" 💗💜💜💜We r so proud of you Yoongi 💗💜💜💜
It doesn't matter if they forgot some of their speech..people will still fall in love with them just by seeing how cute and humble and their down to earth reactions.
@U Fool fluent isn't just being good at a language, as someone who speaks 4 languages (fluent in 3, good at 1), there's a difference. if you're fluent you're able to talk without thinking about it and it feels natural to you, your brain can function in that language. Jungkook did amazing but he's not fluent, and I think that's important to recognize because it means he puts that much more effort into speaking it for us
I'm just smiling...🤧🤧❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊😊😊😊and crying at the same time...cuz of happiness..I'm proud to be a part of this family❤️❤️ it's my good decision to be fangirl of bts🤧😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨
Man!! I'm wondering why anyone can't hate them it's been 5 years for me in the army and I have learnt so much from and about them. They deserve everything!!!
Yoongi's speech: 4 years ago we made our american tv debut with DNA at the AMAs, never knowing we'd get to receive the Artist of The Year Award. It's all because of Army, THANK YOUUUUUUU
At 0:05 she was telling the American music award goes to at that moment everyone was telling Bts before she said, armys are confident in bts that they can win every award 💜💜💜
I like how RM always remembers to thank Army. They are loyal to their fan base and visa versa. So glad to see their continued success. BTS plus Army forever and always.
BTS who are pushing each other not to give speeches in Korea now pushing each other to give speech in English 🤣 YEAH BABY FLEX! WE WILL GIVE YOU MORE AWARDS TO ACCEPT SO YOU ALL CAN TALK Edit: I didn't have an idea this got so many comments and likes. I want to clarify that I love that attitude of them loved that they are more comfortable and of course it was only 3 awards so lets make those American shows like MAMA or MMA where we have one award for each so they can talk as much as they want 💜 And I could give the universe to them if I could. I believe in them and thanks to them I believe in myself too. CONGRATS TO MY 7 KING 💜
I feel like it's 2015 again when they won with "I need you", so many years passed yet they managed to stay true to themselves they are such a pure souls ❤️🙏
I came back to re-watch the beautiful way Jin looked at JK, and kept his hands on him the whole time to encourage and comfort him (before the chaos 🤣) Their relationships are so special 💜 They deserve nothing but the best!
BTS went from "Please come to our concert it is free" to receiving Artist of the year award, if this doesn't tell you that they built their career from ground up then nothing will.
I have NEVER seen an artist or any artists be so excited and so incredibly grateful as BTS. I may have joined the ARMY late, but these boys got me right in the heart. I PURPLE YOU BTS!!!!
Wow I remember a couple years ago listening to "I Need You" and "Run" and hoping that one day we'll hear them on the radio and see them in concerts, interviews, on different platforms prospering and I'm beyond grateful to BTS and ARMY! I purple you BTS and ARMY!
Congrats guys! I know that you all will Win this Award! Hard work pays off! So Deserve it!!! The first time I met BTS was then 4 yrs ago. I know you all had it in the bag! Blessings, Nerry Jimenez
