AMAs 2020: BTS pose with Yoongi’s cutout after Favorite Social Artist Award win, fans say 'you guys deserve it'
The star-studded AMAs 2020, held at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and hosted by the glamorous Taraji P Henson, is honoring Internet's Favorite Social Artist for 2020. The nominations were pretty tight this year with three K-pop groups fighting for the position including BTS, EXO and NCT 127 along with Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish.
But BTS snagged the award yet again in the 48th AMAs, making this win their third consecutive year for the Best Social artist award. BTS appeared in a video message wearing their ‘Life Goes On’ video fit to thank their devoted fans, army for showering the constant love and support. They appeared with SUGA aka Yoongi’s cutout in the middle who is taking a hiatus from the promotions after his shoulder surgery.

AMAs 2020 maintained all the protocols of the pandemic and as a result, a lot of the artists couldn't be together to appear before their fans but that could not stop BTS armies from being excited as the septet gave them yet another memorable performance of 'Dynamite' and global premiering performance of 'Life Goes On'.
