Yet, fans worked hard to ensure they could win the fan-voted award as a sign of reassurance that ARMYs are here to stay despite the temporary hiatus.
fan voted awards mean a lot to bts so thank you to every individual army who voted/votes for them so bts never forget that even while they’re on a group hiatus, they still got us. 🫂

Fans are euphoric at these unexpected milestones, but on the other hand, it is not too surprising for many who feel that those only spoke for BTS’s legendary levels of talent.
