Group BTS, TWICE, SEVENTEEN, and other Korean singers received many awards at the 33rd Golden Disc Awards.

With all three rookie awards going to Korean groups, BTS was crowned the 5-crown king.

The award results announced on the Japan Golden Disc homepage on the 26th included the names of BTS, TWICE, SEVENTEEN, GFRIEND, and MOMOLAND.

The Japan Golden Disc Awards is an authoritative music awards ceremony hosted by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.

Awards are given based on music sales, music downloads, and DVD sales in Japan over the past year.

BTS won 5 crowns, including Album of the Year and Best Asian Artist.

Last year, BTS released the single albums "MIC Drop, DNA, Crystal Snow" in Japan, selling over 500,000 copies and receiving the "Double Platinum" certification (awarded by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for albums with cumulative sales exceeding 500,000 copies).

This is the highest sales record for a foreign artist who released single albums in Japan last year.

BTS said, "We are happy to have won 5 awards in total. We were able to win such a big award thanks to our fans. We will show you even better stages and songs."
