BTS have never failed to stun us.

Whether it's having the catchiest songs topping charts or making stellar performances on the biggest stages, RM, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, Suga, J-Hope, and V always have it in them to deliver their maximum potential, making waves from country to country.

BTS RELEASE NEW ALBUM, BE, THEIR MOST PERSONAL RECORD YET, HERE'S A TRACK-BY-TRACK GUIDE – LISTEN

Recently, they brought that to the next level with their first English single, 'Dynamite'.

Arguably one of the biggest songs of 2020 summer, 'Dynamite' has soared past all sorts of records (the music video has surpassed the 700 million mark) and charts this year. Aside from it reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100, 'Dynamite' has also been nominated at the 63rd Grammy Awards for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, making BTS truly a global phenomenon to be reckoned with. 

The nomination makes BTS the first-ever South Korean pop act to receive a Grammy nod.

From the song's live debut at the 2020 VMAs to their powerful showcase on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series, we've compiled a list of 'Dynamite' performances you must watch alongside their record-breaking music video below.

2020 MTV VMAs (US)

BTS' first-ever performance of their hit English debut was at the MTV VMAs in late August this year. While it feels like a decade ago thanks to their running list of awards, the MTV VMAs was where the group clinched their first huge win of four awards, namely Best K-pop, Best Group, Best Choreography and the prestigious Best Pop, never won before by an Asian artist. 

Due to the weather, however, the performance had to be switched to indoors. Initially, BTS had planned to film it outdoors to "show everyone the scenery in Seoul". 

GRAMMY.com's Press Play Series (US)

BTS may not have won a Grammy yet, but they've definitely set their sights on one (or more). In fact, last year the group got pretty close when they were nominated for Best Recording Packaging, which ultimately went to St. Vincent. Now with the rise of 'Dynamite', we don't doubt they're halfway there.

When asked about where BTS are next headed, RM said, "The Grammy Awards is something all performers dream of. Of course, we would like to perform there too. We would, of course, like to be nominated, and it would be great to receive the award. That's the direction we should be headed for."

In a recent GRAMMY.COM interview, BTS also shared, "It all began from this: even in the midst of hardships, we must focus on what we can do. As for us, we found freedom and happiness in singing and dancing. This song goes to the ones who need encouragement. We hope people feel energized when listening to the song."
