Excitement among BTS fans has been building, with just days to go before the group’s new album is unveiled on February 21.
BTS has had an eventful start to the new year following their first-ever performance at the 2020 Grammy Awards last month, becoming the first Korean act to perform at the historic awards show on the biggest night of the music industry.
In the same month, the band’s album Love Yourself: Answer was officially certified as a platinum record by the Recording Industry Association of America, making the band the first Korean act to have a platinum-selling album in the U.S.
Last month the band also released a new song—“Black Swan”—from their forthcoming album, which they performed live for the first time on James Corden’s The Late Late Show.
Voting for the iHeartRadio Awards closes on March 23 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The event will be held at The Shrine in Los Angeles on March 29 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.
