The Bangtan Boys are like the overachieving cool kids of high school. Just check out the situation at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards (BMA) attended by top artists such as Taylor Swift and Madonna.

The seven lads — Jin, V, J-Hope, Jungkook, Suga, Jimin, and RM — had front row seats at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

BTS took home a stellar report card at the BMAs. They won not one, but two awards — Top Duo/Group and Top Social Artists. BTS is the first K-pop act to snag the Top Duo/Group award. This is the third year in a row which BTS was named the Top Social Artists.

Best of all, the A-star students had a blast.

We can’t go let such a historic night slip by without documenting it. We collated the best moments of BTS at the BMA— onstage, offstage and wherever.

RM’s Thank You Speech: We’re Still The Same Boys.

The crowd went wild went when BTS name was announced as the Top Duo/Group — beating out big-name nominees Imagine Dragons, Panic! At The Disco, Maroon 5 and Dan + Shay.

The group’s defacto English spokesman, RM managed to give an audible speech on top of the deafening applause and screams.

RM said: “I still can’t believe that we're here on this stage with so many great artists. Oh, my god. This was only possible because of the little things we share together, the BTSxArmy power."

"We’re still the same boys from six years ago. We still have the same dreams, the same feelings; we still have the same thoughts. Let's keep dreaming the best dreams together. I love you all."

A Night Of Firsts. Performing Boys With Luv With Halsey.

BTS didn't just win the Top Group award for the first time. They took to the stage to perform, Boy With Luv. And Halsey joined in too. It's the first time we got to see the collaborators perform live.

When Boy With Luv dropped last month, the BTS and Halsey music video broke the internet. It became the most-streamed video within 24 hours of its release.

This is the first time which fans are witnessing the collaborators are perform the dynamic duet live. Oh, we heard Halsey gifted the lads with friendship bands. Talk about friendship goals.

BTS Was Excited To Meet Celebs. Celebs Were Excited To Meet BTS Too.

When you are in a room full of world-famous celebrities, it’s picture time. We’d go trigger happy too. Just look at BTS’ starry photo collection on Twitter.

But BTS might have forgotten they're world-famous stars too. Celebrities in the room were also eager to get into the same frame as the Bangtan Boys.

Lucky newlywed Joe Jonas got to skip the queue. Joe got his shot with BTS while performing Cake By The Ocean.

BTS Brought Snacks To The BMA

What do you bring to one of the biggest musical affairs on the planet? Mobile phones are a must to capture shots for Instagram. A handy lipstick would come in handy before you go onstage.

For BTS, they brought snacks. Just look at Jin’s face as he was caught on camera popping popcorn into his mouth.
