Through a Weverse live, BTS' j-hope took a trip down memory lane while mentioning how meaningful his wins at the 2022 MAMA Awards were. The Arson rapper was the only BTS member who attended the awards ceremony. Among the multiple awards the septet won, they received a MAMA Platinum Award.
The Platinum Award made j-hope emotional and acted as a reality check. He was surprised that the group had bagged such achievements.
The award was in recognition of the group's achievements in all four daesangs - Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Worldwide icon of the year.
BTS makes history at the 2022 MAMA Awards
BTS' rapper j-hope attended the 2022 MAMA Awards on the second day, November 30, 2022. The first day saw the Butter singers bagging the Worldwide Icon of the Year daesang and the Worldwide Fans' Choice bonsang, while the second day brought in the remaining three prizes and awards.
Representing the group, j-hope went up on stage multiple times to receive the awards. He later hung out with fans on Weverse live to talk about the wins.
The Arson rapper walked down memory lane and shared that he had been watching the MAMA Awards since it was called MFMF or MKMF. From 2004-2007, the MAMA Awards were called the Mnet KM Music Video Festival. It was later changed to the Mnet KM Music Festival.
He continued by saying how meaningful the wins were for him since he had been following the awards show since he was a kid.
The Platinum Award, which BTS won, was the night's biggest honor. Introduced this year, the MAMA Platinum is only awarded to groups who have a Daesang All-Kill in a year, which means winning all four daesangs (Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Worldwide Icon of the Year) in the same year.
BTS had consistent Daesang All-Kills in 2019, 2020, and 2021. This year, the group won three out of the four daesangs. The fourth, Song of the Year, went to rookie girl group IVE for their viral hit LOVE DIVE.
A photo uploaded by a Korean netizen showcased how BTS has been at the forefront of winning daesangs since 2018. The group now has a total of 70 daesangs across award shows.
The Arson rapper's sentiments were evident even during his acceptance speech for the MAMA Platinum award. He said:
“So say that we’ve won four daesangs for three years in a row, it feels as if so many memories are flashing before my eyes…”
Meanwhile, the 2022 MAMA Awards concluded with Stray Kids, LE SSERAFIM, TXT, (G)I-DLE, NewJeans, and more putting up thrilling performances and making it an unforgettable event.
