i actually started to believe them but tonight convinced me otherwise tbh.

and they're on naver's main page rn!

The fact that they had the biggest audience reaction makes this moment the greatest. All of the top artist were shook.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

The scream was so LOUD lol

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

SHAKING AND CRYING ARMYs did it again! So proud of them, they looked so happy I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

Poor beliebers and everyone helping them win lol

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Wow, I am shocked. I did not see this coming. What a surprise!

[demeulemeester.livejournal.com]

lol at this gif, lee kwang soo for ultimate army

[meggicchi.livejournal.com]

omg for the three last weeks i was like 'can't wait for them to go back to korea' and all bc of all people who had downplayed the bbmas and shit and i was sick of it.

but tonight i was so hyped for some reason and i swear to god i almost had a panic attack when they won lmfaoooo, i'm feeling better now but i can't believe my ott ass. i'm too old for this lol.

anywayyy i'm so incredibly happy for them!! also i thought i would cringe bc of armys screaming but i was so glad they were there and we could hear them ;;

[madielou.livejournal.com]

omg honestly same. i was falling into the "it wont be that big a deal we wont even see them" but so far we got a good amount of interviews, 2 solo shots during the awards (lol im pathetically counting), and a speech.

tonight i was soooo excited, ive been tweeting and talking nonstop about bts like i've become a really intense army when normally im p casual lol. it's like "who tf is this"
i felt like i nearly had an anxiety attack when bts won i was over excited haha.

Awwwwww they look so happy and handsome~~~ Good job to everyone that voted too!! I hope they got to do a lot of networking, and that this serves as an incentive for all of them to learn more English (mainly because of my selfish wish to see Jimin speaking in English lol)

[donaldjdrumpf.livejournal.com]

Jimin speaking in English is my new crack. (My old crack was actual crack ofc!)

[sheisagentleman.livejournal.com]

I LITERALLY CHOKED ON MY SPIT

[donaldjdrumpf.livejournal.com]

I choked on Jared's!

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

Y'all my heart was gonna bust out my chest. I seriously was shaking.

[donaldjdrumpf.livejournal.com]

idk if I'll fix Obamacare in time... might be too late for u :(

[colour-walk.livejournal.com]

The whole night i was going "i can't believe i'm sitting through this mess just for 2 sec of screen time" But bbs looked so happy and they won!! Their faces full of glee and melanin got me 😭✨

And ma home girl celine performing right after was perfect

And i see you billboard using bts for ratings and hits 👀👀👀👀 but that ain't new

[madielou.livejournal.com]

im so so so proud of them! they've come a long way, and you can see how much this meant to them.
that moment where yoongi grabbed the award and was looking at it was such a sweet moment.

ppl were hyping up that they would perform all night and i believed it for a bit lol

[sheisagentleman.livejournal.com]

lmfaoo greeting people makes me so anxious and i literally always say that when i have to say hello to an entire table, it was adorable. also shes so tinyyyyy how cute

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched the live footage yet but congrats to them and their fans.

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

i took video, but you can't even hear the audio.

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

i am still crying... so proud of the boys... so proud.

[lessvocals.livejournal.com]

Congrats!!! Namjoon did so well aksjdakjsda fielding all the questions and translating and answering and then giving the speech for the group huhuhuhu

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm happy for them.

Their magenta carpet interviews were really fun, too. That's the first time I've ever watched the BBMA pre-show lol

alex shibutani (https://twitter.com/AlexShibutani/status/866470768896393216) posted one too!!

[colour-walk.livejournal.com]

I always thought btob and bts were friends or at least work buddy level... sungjae needs to get to work smh

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

and then Celine Dion came on and i lost it.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

She was so good. That song was and still is huge.

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

Congrats my sweet bbs! I wish they hadn't cut off Hobi and Jin during the acceptance speech though -_-

There were rumors going around on twitter that they'd be performing and I kinda doubt it but I hope it's true tbh. At least give them the ending credits or something

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

All. those. cheers. The arena was lit!

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

that fuckin white dude doing the most unenthusiastic clap ever is killing.me. lmaooooo

[ovanaleen.livejournal.com]

yay I'm so proud!! my roommates even watched their speech with me to support because they know how much I love kpop, lmao.

but I can't believe I'm watching this program., it's so cringey..

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

my friend and i were saying the same thing... i kept saying why am i watching this? oh right..BTS is there.

[abcd123.livejournal.com]

okay but someone get chainsmokers away from them

Ngl this makes me so proud wow. Like regardless it's just a fan voted category or whatever twitter ppl are saying - the fact that they are there and even got screen time!!! is amazing in itself

Also for once I'm so glad for fansites if only they got some cute vids of bts really enjoying themselves

[mewgical.livejournal.com]

Not even worried about the Chainsmokers. Heard Jungkook was talking to Bella Thorne a lot on the red carpet. I hope this is just Army's being extra and it's not true. She is the last thing they need.

[izumichan31.livejournal.com]

I've been kinda chill about the whole BBMAs but tonight I've just been hyped and I'm so happy and proud of them. Namjoon seemed nervous but he did a good job with translating for the boys and handling the English.

And J-hope just being his extra self in some of the earlier interviews.
