Eram Shaikh As an ARMY, watching BTS go from rookies to global icons has been one of the most emotional journeys of my life.
Every award they won felt like a win for all of us who believed in them since Day One. From Korean music shows to breaking world records, BTS awards and achievements reflect years of dedication, passion, and the unshakeable bond between the members and ARMY.
Take a walk through the BTS awards list & achievements with me below!
How Many Awards Has BTS Won?
As of December 2025, BTS (as a group) has won approximately 500+ awards in total throughout their career.
Because award counts vary by source (some include minor accolades or individual member wins), there isn’t one single “official” number. However, their record-breaking achievements in major international and South Korean ceremonies are well-documented
BTS has over 500 (spanning Korean and International shows). Out of this, BTS has won 67 Daesangs (A record in South Korean history).

2024–2025 Era: BTS Group vs. Solo Wins
Since late 2023, the members have been serving in the military or focusing on solo projects. As a result, the group’s total award count has slowed, while individual members have started racking up wins in 2024 and 2025.
BTS Group Status (2026):
The group itself did not release a new album in 2025, so they did not sweep the 2025 awards (honors like Artist of the Year at the 2025 MAMA Awards went to active acts like Enhypen and G-Dragon).
BTS Individual Success
The members are winning major awards as soloists:
- RM: Won “Favorite K-Pop Artist” at the 2025 AMAs and accolades for his music videos at the British Arrows
- Jimin: Won “K-Pop Song of the Year” (“Who”) at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
- Jungkook & Jimin: Both won “Most Performed Songs of the Year” at the 2025 BMI Pop Awards.
- V (Taehyung): Won accolades at The Fact Music Awards (Best Music Winter).
All these achievements are indeed a result of BTS’s hard work over the years. But you know whose the driving force? It’s ARMYs! With millions of BTS fans (ARMYs), BTS and ARMY’s relationship continues to dominate the world.
