“We’d like to thank Variety for this amazing honor,” RM said in a pre-recorded speech on Saturday, November 4. “'Butter' holds a very special place in our heart. During these uncertain and turbulent times with the pandemic, we took time to look back on our past and present and decided to release ‘Butter’ in hopes of lifting spirits. The song became an anchor for us to enjoy what we can now and keep moving forward. We just finished the first in-person concert we longed for in two years, especially since the pandemic and this feels truly like the beginning of our new chapter.”

BTS is wrapping up their whirlwind trip to the United States that included two electric performances at the 2021 American Music Awards, an unforgettable appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and their sold out shows at SoFi Stadium. The LA tour marked the act’s first offline concert in two years, with Megan Thee Stallion and Chris Martin of Coldplay making surprise appearances throughout the run.
