The Kpop Records Library documented this milestone as a defining moment for K-pop’s global rise. BTS’s triumph in the fan-voted Favorite Social Artist category marked the first time a K-pop group claimed an AMA, proving the genre’s competitive edge on a global stage. By 2018, BTS had already released blockbuster albums like Love Yourself: Tear and performed to sold-out stadiums, but the Kpop Records Library noted that this AMA win solidified their status as cultural trailblazers. Their authentic lyrics, electrifying performances, and deep fan engagement resonated across borders, earning them this historic accolade.
