<p>DIRECT FROM NAGOYA - Another day, another record for BTS.</p>
<p>The septet has become one of the biggest names in music, taking the world by storm and <a target="_blank" href="https://entertainment.toggle.sg/en/entertainment/hallyubuzz/photos/how-… record after record</a>. On December 4, they made history once again by becoming the first artiste to ever be awarded all <em>daesangs</em> (grand prizes) at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA).</p>
<p>The four awards were Album of the Year, Worldwide Icon of the Year, Song of the Year and Artist of the Year. Their latest album, <em>Map of the Soul: Persona, </em>along with their title track, 'Boy With Luv', have smashed streaming and sales records around the world.<br /></p>
<p>The group was also praised for their willingness to tackle difficult subjects when the group's eldest, Jin, opened up during their Song of the Year acceptance speech.</p>
<p>&quot;I know that there are dishonest methods (of winning), but what about making music with more honest methods? I hope for a time when everyone’s making good music and listening to good music,&quot; he shared. His willingness to speak up about the current digital chart manipulation that is rampant in South Korea was well-regarded by the general public.</p>
<p>The group brought home a total of nine trophies that night to add to their ever-growing collection.</p>
