BTS led the winners at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) 2018, taking home five awards.

The K-pop group have had a huge year, having achieved two number one albums on the Billboard charts, so nobody was surprised at their dominance at the MAMAs.

After slaying the red carpet with their slick outfits, BTS won the Best Asian Style award, after previously getting the MWave Global Choice gong.

IDOL was voted the TikTok Best Video, while Love Yourself: Tear was named Best Album.
