Top idol group BTS (BTS, RM, Jin, Jimin, J-Hope, Suga, V, Jungkook) is set to challenge for the grand prize at the 'American Music Awards' (AMA), one of the three major American music award ceremonies.

BTS will attend the 'American Music Awards' (hereinafter 'AMA') ceremony held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in the United States at 5 p.m. local time on the 25th. This marks BTS's first direct participation in the 'AMA' since 2021, approximately five years later.

BTS is challenging for their second-ever grand prize at this 'AMA'. At this year's 'AMA', BTS has been nominated for the top honor, 'Artist of the Year', competing against nine global pop stars including Bad Bunny, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga.

Previously, BTS achieved the historic feat of becoming the first Korean artist to win this award in 2021, so attention is focused on whether they will win again at this ceremony.

In addition, BTS has been nominated in a total of three categories: 'Best Male K-Pop Artist', 'Song of the Summer', and the aforementioned grand prize. The nominations were selected byly considering key fan activity indicators such as streaming, album and digital song sales, radio airplay, and tour revenue, based on Billboard and Luminate data from March 21, 2025, to March 26, 2026.

Previously, BTS has won a total of 12 trophies at the 'AMA' as both a group and solo artists. They first won in 2018 with 'Favorite Social Artist' and dominated this category for three consecutive years until 2020. In 2019, they won 'Tour of the the Year', demonstrating their powerful influence in the live performance industry. Starting with 'Favorite Duo or Group – Pop/Rock' in the same year, they remained at the top of the pop duo/group category for four consecutive years until 2022, also leaving their name as the record-holding Choi Da (수상) artist in this category.

In 2021, they swept 'Artist of the Year', 'Favorite Duo or Group', and 'Favorite Pop Song', achieving a triple crown. In 2022, they became the inaugural winner of the newly established 'Favorite K-Pop Artist'. Subsequently, RM won the trophy in the same category in 2025.

Meanwhile, in addition to BTS, Jennie, Stray Kids, aespa, ATEEZ, Tomorrow X Together, ENHYPEN, ILLIT, LE SSERAFIM, and Cat's Eye have also been nominated for major categories at the 'AMA', further raising expectations.
