The Fact Music Awards, hosted by The Fact and put together by Fan N Star, honor the role that Korean singers, actors, and stars played in creating the Hallyu wave. In order to choose the winners, the awards take into account information gathered from Circle—formerly known as Gaon—fan votes, and input from a panel of distinguished judges.
The BTS ARMY flooded social media with congratulatory messages and praises for BTS as fans voted for their favorite group and made the victories possible.
It is a huge win for the Bangtan fandom as well for the K-Pop group to win it as a group that is currently on a hiatus. It is worth noting that three of the seven members of the group are serving in the military while the rest are on solo endeavors.
