📅 2026 MTV VMAs — September 27
This marks BTS’s second Song of the Year nomination at the VMAs. The group previously made history with “Dynamite” in 2021, becoming the first Korean artist nominated in the category.
Five years later, BTS is back in the race with “SWIM,” the title track of their fifth full-length album ARIRANG. 🌊
And “SWIM” has already made a huge impact — debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remaining on the chart for 20 consecutive weeks, while reaching No. 2 on the UK Official Singles Chart.
BTS also has a remarkable history in Best K-Pop, winning the award three years in a row from 2019 to 2021. This year, J-Hope is also nominated in the category for his feature on LE SSERAFIM’s “SPAGHETTI.” 👏
🔥💜 ARMY, let’s help “SWIM” make waves at the VMAs!
