It was a big night last night for a lot of stars at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards. But, it was a historic night for the South Korean boy band, BTS. They snagged their first-ever Billboard Music Award in a category that Justin Bieber has won for the past several years. Not only did they take home their first award, but this was the first award ever won by a K-pop band. So basically, they are thriving.
The boy band has a huge following and fan base overseas and in their home country. However, they are just starting to get some traction in the United States. Why? Because they are cute and talented – those two things go a long way with the girls in this country.

Unfortunately, they don't have any music in English yet however, we can't rule it out. If the boys gain enough interest with English speaking fans, they could probably see what it would take to release a song in this language.

The group formed back in 2013 from BigHit Entertainment. This is a Korean record label that is pretty small compared to others competing against it. The fact that the boys started there and have become so big is truly an incredible feat. The label actually was put on the map after BTS scored a Top 10 hit in 2015.
