Their impact has also been acknowledged on prestigious platforms such as the American Music Awards, where they became the first Asian act to win Artist of the Year in 2021.

Additionally, they were featured on the cover of TIME magazine in 2018 as "Next Generation Leaders," in 2020 as "Entertainer of the Year for 2020," and were featured on the cover again in 2022.

In 2021, they delivered a speech at the United Nations as part of their partnership with UNICEF, promoting the Love Myself campaign to end violence against children and teens.

In 2022, they were invited to the White House to discuss anti-Asian hate crimes and the importance of inclusivity, further demonstrating their commitment to positive social change.

In April 2024, BIGHIT MUSIC and the Dynamite singers renewed their initiative and support for the Love Myself campaign with UNICEF's #OnMyMind initiative to support the mental health of children and youth. The initiative also stretches to advocating the right to safety for children and youth who have been victims of abuse or discrimination.

In other news, BTS' Namjoon, Jimin, SUGA, Jungkook, and Taehyung are currently in the military, serving their mandatory 18 months of service. They are scheduled to return in June 2025 and resume their activities.
