BTS members RM and Jimin have been nominated for the ‘American Music Awards’ (AMA).
According to the AMA website on the 23rd (local time), RM and Jimin were both nominated in the ‘Favorite K-Pop Artist’ category. This marks the first time the two are challenging for an AMA award as solo artists. BTS was the first winner in the same category in 2022. At that time, they also won ‘Favorite Pop Duo/Group,’ achieving a total of two awards.
BTS first performed as Korean artists at the ‘American Music Awards’ in 2017. They then won ‘Favorite Social Artist’ in 2018, marking the beginning of their historic record. In 2019, they won three awards: ‘Favorite Social Artist,’ ‘Favorite Pop Duo/Group,’ and ‘Tour of the Year.’ In 2020, they won two categories: ‘Favorite Social Artist’ and ‘Favorite Pop Duo/Group.’ Furthermore, in 2021, they won ‘Artist of the Year’ – the equivalent of a grand prize – along with ‘Favorite Pop Duo/Group’ and ‘Favorite Pop Song.’
The ‘American Music Awards’ is an awards ceremony that selects the most influential and iconic artists of the year. It is considered one of the three major music awards in the United States, alongside the ‘Billboard Music Awards’ and the ‘Grammy Awards.’ This year’s ‘American Music Awards’ will be held on May 26th at 5 PM in Los Angeles, USA.
