DYNAMITE hits 1B!: A billion for BTS! The South Korean and Grammy-nominated group has achieved yet another milestone, with the help of ARMY, on their disco themed music video Dynamite.
BTS’ ‘DYNAMITE’ Performance Marked As The Highlight of Grammys: BTS might not have won their first Grammy Award this year but their amazing act at the ceremony undoubtedly created history. The popular septet was nominated in the ‘Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’ category for their big hit ‘Dynamite’ and performed the same song at the Grammys. This is for the first time that BTS performed one of its songs live. And they are the first-ever Korean band to perform at the Grammys, with their original song. Fans were outraged with results when they heard that BTS loses to Taylor Swift in the only-nominated category. The Grammys had done a lot of promotion for the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, even more than the main categories and they kept edging on Armys and BTS on Twitter, making them think they had a real chance of a fair win.
