BTS MMA 2026 proved their unstoppable global popularity once again by sweeping six awards, including the grand prizes, at the recent Melon Music Awards.
The group captured the prestigious ‘Album of the Year’ and ‘Artist of the Year’ daesangs at the MMA 2026 ceremony held on November 14-15 at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul.
In addition to the two grand prizes, BTS took home Best Male Group, Top 10, Global Top 10, and Stage of the Year, securing a massive six-win total. Following their full-group return in March after completing military service and releasing their 5th studio album ‘ARIRANG,’ the members once again showcased their undeniable presence in the music industry.
Earning the Album of the Year and Artist of the Year accolades highlights their phenomenal achievements over the past year. Notably, BTS continues to hold the record for the most grand prize wins in MMA history.
Although they were unable to attend the ceremony in person due to their ongoing ‘ARIRANG’ world tour, BTS shared their heartfelt gratitude through a video message. They expressed that 2026 is an unforgettable year for them, sharing how happy they were to release ‘ARIRANG’ after three years and nine months and reunite with their beloved ARMY to perform live. They promised to continue shining brightly right beside their fans who have always supported and guided them.
