20 Things You Didn't Know About BTS

14. Beating Bieber

In 2011, the Billboard Music Awards introduced a new award for the Top Social Artist.

One of only two fan-voted awards on the show, the Social Artist is the one whose fans are most vocal on social media (the rules state that each fan may vote up to 100 times a day) and is a pretty cynical way for an old fashioned music awards show to resonate with the kids. It also works, and unsurprisingly saw Justin Bieber win the award for the first six years of its existence.

And then the BTS ARMY hit the scene, blasting past Bieber in 2017 and giving them their first win. Their second came in 2018, and they also won Top Social Artist in 2019 as well. With the 2020 awards only a couple of months away now, it's looking like BTS may scoop the win one more time.

After hearing that you are what you eat, Mik took a good hard look at his diet and realised he might just be a szechuan spare rib alongside prawn fried rice.
