ARMY members from all around the globe immediately flocked to Twitter to express their happiness and congratulations to their favourite K-pop trio shortly after the announcement was made. Fans extended their congratulations to the septet by referring to them as "BTS History Makers" and "BTS Legends."

Meanwhile, members of BTS did not attend this year's Billboard Music Awards and did not provide any performances at the huge event. The lads were unable to make it back to Las Vegas in time for the BBMAs. 

Reportedly, after attending the Billboard Music Awards for the previous five years in a row, the members of BTS have decided to skip the ceremony this year in order to focus on the finishing touches of their next anthology album, titled "Proof," which is scheduled for release on June 10.
