K-pop superstars BTS said they were disappointed when they failed to win at the 63rd Grammy Awards, but assured fans that they were doing well and that they were very proud to have been nominated and presented at the ceremony.

BTS was nominated for Best Pop Group / Duo Performance for their hit song “Dynamite,” making history as the first K-pop act to receive a Grammy nomination. Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s “Rain On Me” won the award.

BTS’s angry ARMIES took to Twitter to express their anger and disappointment, saying that “Dynamite” should have won as it broke records and topped the charts, and accused the Recording Academy of racism because BTS are Korean.

Despite not winning their first Grammy Award, BTS was impressed with their performance of “Dynamite,” which was filmed on a helipad on the roof of a hotel in Seoul.

BTS held a V Live broadcast on March 15 after the Grammy Awards to explain to fans how they felt and thank them for their support.

For the Grammy Awards pre-show, BTS said that they got up at 2:30 a.m. to put on makeup.

“Thank you for waiting until the end of the show,” they told fans with RM saying, “We didn’t know it would take that long.”

For his performance on “Dynamite”, Suga said, “We set the stage very quickly.” Jin said they wanted to film the performance with one take, “so we shot it so many times.”

“We put a lot of effort to achieve the best performance,” said J-Hope.

“But if we look back, we wanted to act more than get an award,” RM said. “We did not get the award. I think many of you probably expected this. [for us to win]. Come and buy it yourself. We take it that way. “

J-Hope said, “I would honestly be lying if I said I’m not disappointed at all,” and according to Suga, J-Hope was the most disappointed of the group.

When the winner of Best Duo / Pop Group Performance was announced, they had mixed reactions.

“It’s like watching something shocking on TV,” RM said, while Jin said, “It was fun to see our expressions one by one.” Jungkook said, “I tried not to feel nervous. I thought it wasn’t. “

They also tried flipping bottles as a fun way to guess whether or not they would win the award with J-Hope saying, “If it holds up, we’ll get the award. I said it but it fell without stopping. “

J-Hope added, “Anyway, I’m disappointed because I know our fans are disappointed,” while RM said, “We were worried about you guys.”

“Let’s go there next year and get the award in person,” they said.

“I saw some articles that said we didn’t get the award. But I really wouldn’t call that a failure. We were nominated for the first time. It was our first performance as a nominee, ”said RM.

“And although you may be disappointed that we did not receive the award. But, in a way, we started from nowhere and got this far. The path we are on now. In a way, the Grammy Awards are the most prestigious award in the world. And to think that our influence reaches that kind of place, it’s hard not to be happy about it. And I can’t wait to see what BTS and ARMY will accomplish, ”Jimin said.

RM said, “BTS never does it all at once.”

“Anyway, we performed on the stage of our dreams,” J-Hope said and RM told fans, “Thanks to you, we appeared at the Grammy Awards.”

Jin said they made champagne for the Grammys “but we drank it all after the awards.”

“Our positivity will exist in 2021,” said V.

Each member of BTS gave their last words to fans.

J-Hope: “Anyway, thanks again to the fans who watched with us until an hour so late or so early. To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed, but we performed at the Grammy Awards, which we always wanted to do. We were nominated. Without your support, we would not have had that honor, so thank you very much. It also motivates us now that it turned out like this. So we will strive to do better and show better performances this year, everyone. We will do our best. I love you ARMY. “

Jin: “I am very happy when I go to awards shows or go to work these days. It’s not just our names on the news. ARMY is also mentioned. And I am very happy that we are making history together. And we really work hard for our performance today. Thank you ARMY for joining us for such a historic performance. I love you.”

V: “Well, I think today’s events happened so that we can reach a better path. I hope we can perform with ARMY next year. I hope we can make better music, give better performances, and shoot great videos so we can go back to the Grammy Awards next year. “

Jungkook: “I looked at the Grammys website. And we got the most votes, I should say, for the most promising artist. Then I realized the magnitude of their love and support. ARMY is so amazing. Thanks a lot. Based on this experience today, I will try to become a person who tries much harder. I love you.”

RM: “ARMY everywhere. No problem. Everything is alright. We did it. We did it. We got you. You are our prize. You are our champagne. Let’s cheer up. It’s good. It is more than enough. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed. But this is really amazing, everyone, isn’t it? Please give yourself a hand and pat yourself on the back. We accomplished something amazing. And it’s more fun to have things to do. So let’s promise we’ll never stop We’re going to crush it this year. “

Jimin: “I felt so happy and honored without any regrets today. So please don’t be disappointed. Like I said, the future is more important. I think it was a really positive day. I love you all. I love you.”

Suga: “I had a lot of fun performing on stage after a long time. We act. It would have been better if we got the award. But that doesn’t depend on how hard we work. Maybe we’ll get it next year if we work harder this year. That is what I think. So it’s up to us I guess. So this year we should work harder. “
