Renowned K -Pop band BTS chose the Billboard Music Awards to be the stage for the debut live performance of their second English single ‘Butter’. The group,
featuring V, Jungkook, Jimin, J-Hope, RM, Suga, and Jin, stood out in their
performance through perfectly synchronised and choreographed moves in black
leather.

Group member RM said the song’s release in the summer was large due to the coronavirus and  COVID-induced restrictions, as per a report by Elle Magazine.
