BTS wins three Gaon Chart Awards
Hosted by the Korea Music Content Association, the Gaon awards honored Korean singers based on data tallied by its Gaon Chart album sales tracker.
Awards were given based on the monthly, quarterly and annual charts.
BTS took home three awards - Artist of the Year, Social Hot Star of the Year and the Retail Album of the Year. The Artist of the Year award was based on the group’s physical album sales during the second quarter of 2019.
“We want to express our thanks to all the people who love our music,” the group said through a video.
Other artists honored at the ceremony included singer Chungha for the Performance of the Year and her agency as the Album Producer of the Year; boy band Monsta X for the Hallyu [Korean wave] Star Award; and girl group ITZY and boy band Tomorrow X Together, who were both given the Rookie of the Year award.
