For the third year in a row, BTS swept all four Daesang categories at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA).

BTS did not attend 2021 MAMA due to scheduling conflicts with their United States promotions and their quarantine upon their return to South Korea. However, they won all four Daesangs (Grand Prizes): Song of the Year for “Butter,” Album of the Year for “BE,” Worldwide Icon of the Year, and Artist of the Year. The group won nine prizes in total, including Best Group (Male), Best Dance Performance (Male Group), Best Music Video, TikTok Favorite Moment, and a Worldwide Fans’ Choice Top 10.

J-Hope said, “We believe many people in the world had difficult times in 2021, but we hope that we can all believe that hope is on its way, little by little. We will work harder so that our music can be your peace of mind and comfort in these times.”
