BTS Bags Favorite Music Group Trophy At Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards For Third Time

BTS won the Favorite Music Group award at this year’s Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards for the third consecutive time.

The septet now joins Black Eyed Peas, One Direction and Fifth Harmony as the only three-time winners in the category. The recent victory also solidified the K-pop group's Guinness World Record for The Most Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards won by a music group.

BTS accepted the award through a pre-recorded speech in English. “Thank you, KCA [Kids’ Choice Awards] and ARMY [fandom name], for the Favorite Music Group award. We’re honored and so grateful to receive the award,” group leader RM began. Jimin added, “This award is for you, ARMY. We are touched by your love and cheer.” Suga promised, “We will never, ever stop trying our best, and we will show you great performances,” and Jungkook continued, “Thank you, KCA, for the award.” Finally, V said, “We love you, ARMY.”

In 2021, BTS snagged three trophies from the Kids’ Choice Awards: Favorite Music Group, Favorite Song (“Dynamite”) and Favorite Global Music Star.

The global sensation recently performed an unforgettable James Bond-inspired musical number of their hit, “Butter” at the 2022 Grammy Awards, which was nominated for the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category. Although the group lost the award to Doja Cat's “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, their performance won the hearts of fans and celebrities who gave the group a standing ovation. Billboard also proclaimed “Butter” as the Best Performance of the Night at the Grammys.

BTS is currently in Las Vegas for their “Permission To Dance” concerts which kicked off on April 8 and 9 at the Allegiant Stadium with viewing parties at MGM’s Grand Garden Arena. The sold-out concerts will continue Friday and Saturday.

Also in the ceremony held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica over the weekend, “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” bagged three awards: Favorite Kids TV show, Favorite Female TV star (kids) for Olivia Rodrigo, and Favorite Male TV star (kids) for Joshua Bassett. Rodrigo also won a music prize for favorite breakout artist. "Encanto" was hailed favorite animated movie and Scarlett Johansson won favorite voice from an animated voice for "Sing 2."
