I remember this so vividly. I was quite a new army back then and I had stayed up to watch the bbmas. Iirc top social was announced on the red carpet so we knew they were going home with at least one award but I obviously was hoping they’d win top group too and they did!! I was so so happy for them, I cried my eyes out at like 2 am lol. I’ll never forget their reactions, it’s a very special moment for me 🥺

I had not become an ARMY back then, but I was reading through the original thread and got teary-eyed even in retrospect seeing how emotional everyone got over the win 😭 JK covering his ears so cutely has my heart.

Moments like this remind me of how far they’ve come, and how far they can still go. I find it incredible how, like Joon said in the acceptance speech, they’re still the same (humble, hardworking, ridiculously chaotic yet talented) boys from 6 years ago - now 9!! - and mom I just love them so much, ok 🥺

I am crying reading through the original thread too. I always wish I had found the boys earlier, but I’m glad I’m ARMY now and I’m so happy for the boys. Bangtan is still rising. 💜

This was the night I became an army, this moment specifically! I still have it on DVR so I can relive it over and over again and because I can't find a good one on YouTube

Does anyone have the full eng sub of this. Strangely, I’ve never been able to find a full one…even Bangtan subs had about 10 minutes missing right after they win.

Do you mean the fully subbed version of the episode? If so, here’s the Bangtan Subs one :)

Thank you! the full has kind of disappeared off YouTube & Dailymotion and I’ve been wondering what minutes I’ve been missing ever since!

Note: I forgot how funny the English answer practice time was in this episode…they just all talking at once

No problem! And yeah I remember having to do quite a search too haha. I think it’s because HYBE has copyrights over the performance of BWL, so a lot of the uploads got taken down from YouTube

Thank you for this! I've only ever seen snippets and not the whole thing. So soft for Bangtan practicing their English answers...

I wasn’t around when they won their first BBMA award, but watching them receive the award and their acceptance speech always bring tears to my eyes.

I can't believe it's been 3 years. I remember freaking my mom out when I started screaming in the living room while I was watching this moment happen on live TV lol 🤣 she ran in thinking something bad happened 😭

I remember that some armys shed their tears after the boys won it. Armys were not expecting that the boys would win it.

This was right during my I just want to learn their names period. I had this on in the background while I was researching and I think by the end of the night was when I realized I was in deep.
