BTS, the seven-member South Korean boyband group also known as Bangtan Boys, has become an internet sensation with its presence at the Billboard Music Awards 2017. The event was held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 21.
The young heartthrobs walked the red carpet in black and white suits while defining their individual personalities by tweaking the outfit a bit. While the youngest group member Jungkook opted for a classic suit, his bandmate Jin wore an all-black outfit that consisted of a satin lapel and tuxedo jacket.
Kim Tae Hyung, who is popularly known by his stage name V, paired his polka-dotted shirt with a cropped pin-striped jacket. The other boyband members, including Rap Monster, J-Hope, Suga and Jimin, paired their black suits with T-shirts.
Although K-Pop idols did not have much to show at the red carpet, they were appreciated by their fans for their coordination and neutral outfits on social media. The BBMA hashtags were taken over by Korean music lovers who flooded Twitter with praise for the music group.
"My heart never fails to fall in love with the RIGHT PERSON. It decided to love BTS since 4 years ago, and stays with them until now," wrote a social media user. "BTS always stay humble that's one of million reasons i love them so much. They are such a good persons," commented another admirer of the boyband members.

Meanwhile, Bangtan Boys bagged the Top Social Artist award at the star-studded event, beating Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendes. This is the first time in the history of Billboard Music Awards that a South Korean boy band has attended the show and won an award.
Rap Monster and his team members also made some friends during the annual event, and it includes Halsey and The Chainsmokers. While the 22-year-old singer and songwriter wrote on Twitter, "ok i just met @BTS_twt and they are the coolest! WOW", the DJ duo hinted at a future collaboration with them and stated, "Love these dudes! See you guys this summer."
