BTS fans -- better known as BTS Army -- are furious after the South Korean boy band didn’t win the Group Performance award at the 2022 Grammy Awards on April 4.
The band was nominated for the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for their hit song "Butter” -- a number that they also performed during the awards night.
Band members Jungkook, V, Park Ji-min, Suga, Jin, RM, and J-Hope took to the stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and channeled James Bond for their performance.
It also featured a flirty moment between V and fellow Grammy nominee Olivia Rodrigo.
