BTS won the Daesang at the TMAs from 2018 to 2022, after which was succeeded by fellow boy band Seventeen. In the same timespan, BTS were recipients of the Artist of the Year award.
The group also won the Listener’s Choice Award (2019-2021), Best Album (2018), the Worldwide Icon Award (2020), and Best Music (Summer of 2023)
It would have swept the Popularity Award had it not been for Super Junior in 2020, while BTS member Jimin was the recipient in 2023.
In total, BTS have won at the TMAs 26 times, 11 ahead of Super Junior and Korean singer Lim Young-woong.
