He said, ‘We didn’t fail to win. We performed as the first (South) Korean artists’. He also added later that BTS ARMY is the biggest prize that have been supporting them from day one.

BTS made history at the 63rd Grammy Awards as the first Korean boy band to perform at the prestigious award show. The Billboard Hot 100 topper group who was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group performance may not have won the award but the massive growth in streams and sales since their Grammy nomination announcement only proves that BTS will remain record-breaking artistes who breach language barriers worldwide with the message of music and love.

The group was also nominated at the Grammys for their song ‘Dynamite’ and after the award show ended, the South Korean septet came on Vlive to console ARMY and share the significant day where their much talked about Grammy performance took place. While addressing the issue of not winning, BTS leader RM aka Namjoon said, "we didn’t fail to win". Later, the group also updated a video of their reaction to the moment when the winners were announced.
