RM shared that he thought multiple moments from the award show were indicators BTS had a chance at winning.

“Top Duo was … moved to the end. We did our stage early on. And then in the middle, there’s this quick, fun talk with the emcee. Isn’t this a sign — a clear sign?” RM said in the VLIVE, according to the English translation.

The band members then praised “Kiss Me More,” and RM said he often listens to the song when he works out. The members of BTS agreed that Doja Cat and SZA deserved to win for “Kiss Me More.”

“We were really nervous too,” V said in the VLIVE.
