BTS's 'Dynamite': Won In The Korean Music Awards, And George Clooney Delivered His Own Rendition

W magazine celebrated its Best Performances issue this year online. As part of the celebration, actor George Clooney, after humorously introducing himself as Brad Pitt, dramatically recited the lyrics of BTS's "Dynamite" in English, showing his poetic side. It is something fans never expected but needed.

On another news, BTS got two awards trophies for the song -- Best Song of the Year and Best Song - Pop. The award-winning single was released in August of 2020 and becoming the first song by a Korean act to debut at No. 1 on Billboard's main singles chart.

"We made 'Dynamite' in hope that people will enjoy it; we were happy every moment that a lot of people loved and enjoyed it," RM said.

"We're glad that the sincerity we put into 'Dynamite' traveled and touched a lot of people," Jung Kook added.

Along with BTS, alternative pop band Leenalchi, and folk singer-songwriter Jeongmilla snagged multiple recognitions, including top prizes at the 18th Korean Music Awards (KMA) held late Sunday.

Leenalchi, an alternative pop band that reinterpreted South Korea's traditional music genre of "pansori" with a modern take, took home three trophies, including Artist of the Year.

"When we first started off as a team, we wanted to become a team whose musical value is acknowledged but who is also consumed in the music market and can survive for a long time. It's a bit frightening that all this came faster than we thought," the band said.

Jeongmilla, who released "CheongPa Sonata," a self-produced album inspired by the quaint and historic neighborhood of Cheongpa-dong, also won three trophies -- Best Song - Folk, Best Album - Folk and Best Album of the Year.

"I don't know where you all are, but thank you to everyone who listened to my music," she said in an acceptance speech.
