What’s an award show without drama? I doubt anything will surpass the VMAs “Miley what’s good” or The Academy Awards accidentally announcing La La Land over Moonlight, but still drama prevails.
This years Teen Choice Awards was no different. The K-pop group BTS won the Choice International Artist Award and their fans were thrilled. The K-pop group has been making waves on American soil so this award is a huge addition.
But their fans were not happy with the way the award was presented. Bella Thorne and Marshmello were the presenters for this category and the Choice Fandom Award. Why the TCAs would have a mute DJ present an award is beyond me.
Bella did all the talking, and a lot of it. Fans think she rushed through the presentation and didn’t give BTS their moment. She announced the two winners together instead of separately. After announcing quickly moved on to the next part of the show.

Fans are not happy that BTS didn’t get their time to celebrate their big achievement. They are also not pleased that they waited and watched the entire show for the few seconds of congratulations.

So they put the announcement at the end to get our views…but took only a second to reveal who won, and ended the show #TeenChoice #BTS

They didn't properly announce it though….

Fans are also disappointed that the TCAs didn’t organize an acceptance video with the band knowing that they couldn’t attend.
Honestly I wasn't really expecting an appearance, I just wanted them to have an acceptance video so I could see them π

They didn't even played one of their songs or showed a video/pic. ππ

BTS hasn’t spoken out about the award show. They only retweeted TCAs tweet announcing their win.
Congrats to @BTS_twt on your #ChoiceInternationalArtist win! π₯ππ #TeenChoice

International Choice Artist is a big award and BTS fans are not to be messed with. Next year the TCAs should give the winner the appropriate celebration.
