BTS leader RM wins 'Favorite K-Pop Artist' at 2025 American Music Awards

RM, the leader of the South Korean boy group BTS, has been named as the winner of the "Favorite K-Pop Artist" award at the American Music Awards.

Widely regarded as one of the most influential music award shows in the U.S., alongside the Grammys and the Billboard Music Awards, the AMAs returned this year after a three-year hiatus.

The 2025 ceremony was held on Monday local time at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas and was hosted by pop icon Jennifer Lopez.

The "Favorite K-Pop Artist" category was introduced in 2022, with BTS receiving the inaugural award.
