Watcha will broadcast the American Music Awards (AMAs) live on Nov. 22, the local streaming platform said Thursday.

The event will be interpreted into Korean by former SBS reporter Ahn Hyun-mo.

“We’re very excited to stream the 2021 AMAs,” said Watcha’s CEO Park Tae-hoon. “Please look forward to more content from us in the future, and we also wish BTS the best of luck.”

Boy band BTS has been nominated for the AMA’s Artist of The Year and Favorite Duo or Group awards. Its Billboard-topping single "Butter" has been nominated for Favorite Pop Song.

On Monday, the AMAs announced that BTS will perform the remix version of “Butter” with rapper Megan Thee Stallion during the ceremony.

The 2021 AMAs will be streamed starting at 10 a.m. on Nov. 22 Korean time.
