Korean pop band BTS debuted on the Social 50 chart on Oct. 29, 2016, and hasn’t budged from the top two spots in its 28-week run. And on Sunday at the Billboard Music Awards, BTS members Rap Monster, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook will vie for the ultimate prize — the Top Social Artist. The award show airs live from Las Vegas at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
The group’s second full-length album, “Wings,” become the first K-pop project to crack the Top 40 on the Billboard 200 in 2016. BTS’s biggest hits touch on topics like mental health, voting rights and online harassment. Songs like “I Need U” and “Run” have turned them into superstars in America. In April they played a sold-out stateside arena tour.
“Worldwide, our young generation shares the same issues socially and politically,” said BTS member Suga. Although K-pop music generally steers away from controversy, Rap Monster says that remaining outspoken “is important to us. And the bigger the voice we get, the more powerful our words become.”
