Global superstars BTS may have taken home the biggest prize of the night at the 2026 American Music Awards, but member Jimin is making it clear who he believes truly deserved the honor. 

After BTS won the coveted Artist of the Year award at the AMAs in Las Vegas, Jimin shared a heartfelt message on Weverse thanking the group's devoted fanbase, ARMY, for their unwavering support. In the touching post, the singer uploaded an edited version of BTS' official winner card - replacing the group's name with a single word: "ARMY."

The emotional gesture quickly spread across social media, with fans praising Jimin for his humility and gratitude following one of the biggest moments of BTS' career. The award marked another historic achievement for the K-pop icons, who continue to dominate globally while balancing solo projects and group activities.

The celebration comes as BTS are currently performing a massive four-night run at Allegiant Stadium as part of their latest world tour, drawing tens of thousands of fans from around the world to Las Vegas. Their Artist of the Year victory further cements BTS' legacy as one of the most influential acts in modern music history.

Jimin's tribute also reflects the uniquely close relationship BTS have long shared with ARMY - a fanbase the members frequently credit for their record-breaking success, chart milestones, and sold-out stadium tours.

Fans online described the moment as "classic BTS," noting that even after winning one of music's top honors, the group still chose to spotlight the people who helped them get there.
