“Above all, ARMYs are the ones who helped this miracle come true - of us getting the Grammy nomination. Thank you always,” BTS said on Twitter, addressing the group’s fan base, known as ARMY, an acronym for Adorable Representative MC for Youth.

Hashtags “GrammyNominatedBTS” and “Heading to Grammy” were trending on South Korean Twitter.

Thousands of fans retweeted the reaction clips and congratulated the group on their accomplishments: “So proud of you guys,” a Twitter user commented.

“Congratulations! You made it! You deserve it!” wrote another user.

The nod comes after BTS released their latest album BE last week.

BTS will perform live in South Korea on Dec 31, their first concert since cancelling a world tour in April because of the coronavirus pandemic.
