BTS has made Grammy history

BTS has made history by becoming the first K-pop group to present at the Grammy Awards.

The group, which was also nominated for an award, presented the Best R&B album to new Grammy winner H.E.R.

The seven band members said that they had always dreamed about “being on the Grammy stage” adding that they would “be back”.

They also paid homage to their country, wearing tuxedos designed by South Korean designers.

According to Vogue, JayBaek Couture designed custom suits for Jungkook, Jin, Jimin, Suga, V and RM, while J-Hope's suit was designed by Kim Seo Ryong - something that did not go unnoticed.

I told BTS that their fans are very passionate and when they saw I‘d be sitting with them, they told me to look out for them. So if they need a snack or whatever, I’m on it. ？ #GRAMMY

BTS' 2018 album “Love Yourself: Tear” was nominated in the category of best recording package but did not win.

The hugely popular K-pop group - one of few that have managed to break into the West- are considered one of the most successful acts of the South Korean music industry.
