K-Pop Fans React To BTS' Second Billboard Music Award Nomination

It looks like a big congrats is in order for BTS. The K-pop legends have a lot on their plates right now, and it seems like the schedule is about to get even busier. Earlier today, nominees for this year's Billboard Music Awards were announced, and BTS is up for another award.

As you might have guessed, the Internet is losing it over the repeat honor. You don't have to look hard on Twitter to see how intensely the K-pop fandom is hyping the nomination.

According to the Billboard Music Awards, BTS has been nominated for its second Top Social Artist award. The group was put up for the award along with other stars such as Justin Beiber, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, and Shawn Mendes.

Of course, fans of BTS are excited to see the band get a second nomination for the annual event. The K-pop band is the first one to receive back-to-back nominations from the Billboard Music Awards, and BTS won the coveted honor last year. The band become the first K-pop group to nab the award after more than 300 million votes poured in on their behalf.

BTS managed to steal the Top Social Artist award from the likes of Beiber last year, and fans hope to help the group take the honor home once again. After nabbing the award last year, BTS has only experienced success in the western music scene. The group made their US award ceremony debut at the American Music Awards last year by performing their hit single "DNA." The act helped spread BTS' popularity even further, and the band had continued pushing boundaries since. Since the BBMAs and AMAs, BTS has released a chart-topping single with Steve Aoki and Desiigner. And, in just a couple of weeks, BTS will make their long-awaited comeback with a new mini-album titled "Love Yourself: Tear."
