Champion. Album track “2.0” also picked up a trophy on SBS’s Inkigayo, bringing ARIRANG’s total music-show wins to 15.

Meanwhile, BTS are meeting fans worldwide on their 34-city BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’. They’ve already drawn more than 240,000 attendees in Goyang and Tokyo alone and have sold out all 46 shows so far, demonstrating formidable ticket demand. The tour continues at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on April 25–26 and April 28.
