translated from Spanish: Which awards did BTS win at the 2020 Melon Music Awards?

For the second consecutive year BTS won all the Daesangs (grand prize) at the 2020 Melon Music Awards (MMA), an award ceremony that was held without an audience, in the face of the santaria contingency for the Covid-19 pandemic. It should be noted that this annual awards ceremony (since 2009) in South Korea is organized by LOEN Entertainment through its online music store, MelOn. Here were the prizes “Bulletproof Boys” won:
Artist of the Year / Daesangs 
Album of the Year / Daesangs – “Map of the Soul: 7”.
Song of the Year / Daesangs – “Dynamite”.
Best Dance (male) by “Dynamite”.
Netizen’s Choice Award.
Top 10 artists
Also the collaboration of UI and Suga of BTS, won an MMA as “Best Rock”.

In his speech winning the Daesangs as “Artist of the Year” at the 2020 Melon Music Awards, RM leader of BTS stated that to be honest, it was not comfortable to receive such an important and significant award, in these times so complicated by the situation that all of humanity lives. Kim Namjoon also expressed her sadness at being able to meet with the ARMY face-to-face this year. (BTS at the American Music Awards: this was his beautiful and nostalgic return to Seoul Olympic Stadium).

“I think a lot of artists feel the same way we do. It’s been a tough year, hasn’t it? At the beginning of all this, we feel so much anger and resentment and despair and disgust, disgust for so many things. We tried to make the music we could, we filmed music videos and we worked hard, at some point we were able to accept reality. As human beings, we were able to adapt and get used to circumstances, but that was scary because we shouldn’t get used to it, we’re supposed to share contact with other human beings, and getting used to not doing so was a terrifying reality.”

RM said he doesn’t know what will happen in the future, so he asked the ARMY to use the music to stay close and “hold us together for the long winter until spring returns, the seasons will come back and life will go on, and I think spring will come back.” Jimin longs for BTS music to have brought strength to other people. V highlighted that they are a group of seven people, not six, and in front of the cameras he sent a message to his friend Suga, who is in rehab after an operation on his left shoulder. “Suga’s watching this right now, I want to say something to him now, we get a lot of awards today, so I hope you’re happy and you can create good memories with us together soon.”

Subsequently, in winning the 2020 MMA to the “Album of the Year”, Jimin recalled that Bangtan’s first Daesang won was “Album of the Year” at this awards ceremony in 2016, that year for his acclaimed production “The most beautiful moment in life: young forever”. Jiminie mentioned that it is very significant to receive this award again, “we feel that we are rewarding ARMY’s efforts, receiving this award again is proof of our value.” Upon receiving the Daesang for “Song of the Year”, Jungkook couldn’t help it and noting that although his fans weren’t present “I want to shout, ‘ARMY, let me hear them!’, although they’re far away, I feel like I can hear their voices coming to us. Our proudest moments as singers are when we can give strength and comfort to others through our music.” Unsurprisingly, BTS performed an epic performance at the 2020 Melon Music Awards, which included “Black Swan” (acting), “ON”, “Life goes on” and “Dynamite”.
