At the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards, BTS added yet another set of impressive accolades to their growing list of achievements. The global superstars were nominated in four categories and proudly took home three of the awards, once again showcasing their immense influence, artistry, and the power of their ever-devoted fanbase, ARMY.

The group won the “Best Fan Army” award, a category that speaks directly to the incredible strength and dedication of their fans around the world. ARMY has consistently shown up for BTS, organizing global streaming projects, fan-led charity drives, and supporting the band in every way possible. Winning “Best Fan Army” at such a major American award show once again recognized the powerful bond between BTS and their fans, and the way this connection continues to thrive across languages, borders, and cultures.

In addition to the fan-focused award, BTS also took home two honors related to their record-breaking hit, “Dynamite.” The song earned them the “Best Music Video” award, a well-deserved recognition for a video that captured the cheerful, retro vibe of the song with vibrant visuals, pastel aesthetics, and joyful energy. From its fun styling and slick editing to the way it perfectly embodied the song’s upbeat and positive message, the “Dynamite” music video became a cultural moment in itself. It marked BTS’s first all-English single and played a significant role in boosting their global profile even further.

BTS also won the award for “Favorite Music Video Choreography” for “Dynamite,” celebrating the song’s iconic dance routines. The choreography, which features smooth, disco-inspired moves with a modern flair, became instantly recognizable and widely imitated by fans and fellow artists alike. With choreographers including the talented and long-time BTS collaborator Son Sung Deuk, the performance was designed to be both visually engaging and filled with charm qualities that the members of BTS brought to life with their signature precision and charisma.

The only category where BTS did not take home the award was “Best Group/Duo,” but their three wins still marked a triumphant night and reflected the incredible year they had, especially with the impact of “Dynamite” on a global scale. Even without sweeping all four categories, their presence at the iHeartRadio Music Awards was powerful and left a lasting impression.

The 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards were a celebration not only of BTS’s talent and creativity but also of the global movement they have inspired. With every award show, every stage, and every release, BTS continues to build a legacy that transcends language and borders. Their wins this year further solidified their position as global icons and reminded the world of the strength of their artistry, their teamwork, and the ARMY that stands behind them.
