K-pop group BTS won both awards they were nominated for at the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards: Best Fan Army and Best Boy Band.
The award show took place on March 11th at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Due to the BTS’s busy schedule, the group couldn’t be there in person to accept their awards. Instead, they thanked their fans through a set of video messages. The group’s leader, RM, said, “This award [Best Fan Army] signifies passion and devotion of BTS ARMY and you’re the best army in the world.”

Shortly after the award show ended, iHeartRadio announced that BTS also won Best Boy Band. RM thanked fans for their constant support from all around the world, revealing that he and the other members saw the hashtags that fans trended for them on Twitter for the past few months. Both awards were in socially-voted categories, with the winners determined by the number of tweets sent out using the hashtags, #BestFanArmy and #BestBoyBand.
