It was the night of celebration and performances at the Video Music Awards 2021 which was held on September 12 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Global superstars BTS, who couldn't attend the award show, won Group of the Year as well as Best K-Pop and Song of the Summer for their song 'Butter.' The group sent a message via video accepting the award as RM said, “ARMYs, this is all possible thanks to you guys. Although we can’t meet in person, we feel your love every minute and second.” The group became the most awarded group at the VMAs 2021.
