BTS Made the Billboard Music Awards With Their Stunning 'Dynamite' Performance
The Billboard Music Awards may be a little more low-key this year amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but thank K-pop superstars BTS for injecting some high-energy into the evening. Jin, Jimin,
Suga, V, RM, Jungkook, and J-Hope performed "Dynamite" remotely for the ceremony. Their outfits? Red suits that were stellar. Their choreography? Flawless. But did you expect any less from a BTS performance?
Fans immediately shared clips from it:

BTS first performed "Dynamite" live at the MTV VMAs at the end of August.
The band told Zane Lowe on Apple Music around that time that "Dynamite," their first big English single, is "made of positive vibes, energy, hope, love, the purity, everything. Recording this song was really fun, and like Jin said, we’re going through difficult times so we tried to have more fun working on this song. We made this song in hopes of giving energy to the listeners. We’re glad this song turned out great and hope a lot of our fans can listen to it to receive the positive energy we tried to incorporate in the song."
BTS is also on the cusp of releasing new music. Their new album BE will be released on November 20. The music on it was shaped by the boys' time in quarantine, taking in the coronavirus pandemic with the rest of the world. The message behind new music, as put in a press release for the album, is that “even in the face of this new normality, our life goes on."
