Bangtan Boys (BTS), who have emerged as the most loved group in the world in 2020, have won 8 awards at the '2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards' (2020 MAMA), taking home trophies in major categories.

In particular, Bangtan Boys took home all 4 awards in the main categories.

At the 'MAMA' broadcast live by Mnet on the 6th, Bangtan Boys won 3 awards in the main categories including 'Artist of the Year', 'Song of the Year', 'Album of the Year', and 'Worldwide Icon of the Year', as well as 'Best Male Group', 'Worldwide Fans' Choice', 'Best Dance Performance Male Group', and 'Best Music Video'.

Leader RM, who took the stage to accept the 'Song of the Year' award, said, "When we were rookies, the only place we couldn't be invited to was 'MAMA'." He added, "It was an awards ceremony we longed for and envied so much, so it's very emotional to receive such big awards consecutively."

Bangtan Boys' 'MAP OF THE SOUL : 7', released in February, was selected as 'Album of the Year'. American CBS talk show host James Corden made a surprise appearance to announce the winner. Bang Si-hyuk, Chairman of Big Hit, was selected as 'Best Producer', and music video director Lumpens was selected as 'Best Video Director', with many who worked with Bangtan Boys also taking home trophies in specialized categories.

This awards ceremony, which has established itself as a global K-pop festival for 12 years, was held without an audience in Korea due to the resurgence of COVID-19.
