The septet delivered a stunning performance of 'Dynamite', taking their dynamic gig from the Grammy stage to a rooftop overseeing a breathtaking night view of Seoul. This marks the first time for a Korean Pop act to ever take to the Grammy Awards stage for a performance.

Kicking off the performance at a closed stage, BTS then stepped up with their stage game grooving and crooning on the stairs while heading to the rooftop. They indeed lit up Seoul with their breathtaking performance on the rooftop. Suga was back on stage dancing with his members as he was recovering due to his recent surgery.

To make the virtual performances unique, the set was different, and the performances only got power-packed. They were full of passion and empathy and working hard towards making great music. Once again, BTS proved that when it comes to performances, no one comes close to them. But, when it comes to remarkable virtual performances with grandeur sets and never-seen-before stages, no one still comes close to BTS.

Upon performing, BTS said, “It’s an honour to have our stage at the GRAMMY Awards, coupled with the nomination along with the other amazing musicians in our category. It’s a significant moment for us.” They added, “We owe everything to ARMY. We will keep going for our next goal.”

This was slow progress but there's a lot of work on when it comes to an actual acknowledgment of their music in main categories.

BTS has participated at the Grammys for three consecutive years. In 2019, they first appeared as presenters for Best R&B Album, and a year later, the band took the stage for 'Old Town Road' along Lil Nas X and other performers.

BTS recently topped three IFPI charts, including the Global Artist Chart, and was named “The Greatest Pop Star of 2020” by Billboard.
