BTS and MTV have created some unforgettable moments over the years, including the group’s debut on the VMAs stage in August, where they performed ‘Dynamite’ before taking home Best Pop, Best Group, Best K-pop, and Best Choreography. BTS also celebrated their first-ever live appearance on MTV’s Fresh Out Live in Feb 2020 for the release of Map of the Soul: 7.
Last year, BTS streamed their past concerts and bonus behind-the-scenes footage on the YouTube channel BANGTANTV to entertain fans who were stuck home due to the COVID-19 crisis.
