BTS continued their world domination tonight at the 2020 MTV VMAs, where they delivered the live TV debut of their new English-language single “Dynamite”. The appearance also marked the beloved K-pop boyband’s first-ever VMAs performance.
This year’s awards ceremony was originally supposed to take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, the evening’s performances were filmed remotely. In the case of BTS, they broadcasted all the way from South Korea. However, thanks to the power of green screen technology, they were able to incorporate iconic New York City locations into the background, such as Times Square and the famed cobblestoned area of DUMBO.
As with everything BTS-related, their performance was a flashy extravaganza from start to finish, highlighted by precise choreography and swoon-worthy ‘fits. The BTS ARMY has worked hard for their Bangtan Boys, and now they’ve returned the favor tenfold. Watch the video replay below.
