JK: Stop, stop
JM, JK: Stop moving, stop moving
JH: Huh? It stopped
JK: No, it didn't. Stop
JH: Why do we do this?
J: Why do we do this?
RM: It's fun
JH: It's been 20 seconds
JK: We always do it
RM: Everyone watching the replay, we won the award!!!

RM: What should we do when how many people come in?
J: How many viewers do we have?
JH: Around 300, 700
JK: 779
RM: Let's start when we hit 10,000
JK: 1200

JH: This is champagne
JK: But I can't drink it

JH: I think we can greet the viewers now
RM: 2! 3!
All: Hello we are BTS
RM: Thanks to you, once again we received the Top Social Artist award
JH, J: They played DNA today
RM: Jimin, I'm sorry for cutting you off when you were speaking. I didn't mean to cut you off.

JM: But to begin with, I don't think people could hear me. What I said was "You're the ones receiving this award, thank you from the bottom of my heart, I love you."
RM: I was worried ppl wouldn't understand so I said "It's all yours!" but I shouldn't have while you were speaking

RM: I'm sorry, Jimin.
JM: No worries. Anyway, seriously, we are receiving this award because of you.
RM: I've never been so nervous at an award ceremony before.
JM: I thought my heart was going to explode.
RM: J-Hope, you're not in the screen (gets up to hold the selfie stick)

RM IS SO FUCKING CONSIDERATE AND THOUGHTFUL OF THE MEMBERS OKAY

/outburst
Going back to the translations now haha

S: I wasn't nervous today
RM: Oh really?
S: Uhuh
JH: Ohhhhh Sugaaa
RM: "I wasn't nervous today" ohhh
S: I didn't have much thoughts
JH: Ohhh Sugaa
RM: He's the Suga who wasn't nervous today
JK: Was it because ARMYs were there?
RM: That's right

RM: How was it today? Let's go around each saying what you couldn't back there
JH: First off, there were tons of celebs coming to say hello
RM: Taylor-nim came to say hello
JH: We were so surprised
RM: It was daebak
JH: I was so, so happy today
RM: We were really happy

JH: To see and say hello to all those artists I grew up seeing...
JM: (repositions selfie stick) Why aren't you filming yourself when you're speaking?
JH: It seemed like people couldn't see Jin hyung
J: No, no. Focus on you
JH: We had such a great time, everyone. It was the best.

Not that I'm surprised but seriously first RM then Jimin then J-Hope and Jin... Everyone's just so supportive and looking out for each other I cry

JH: Thanks to ARMYs we came to Billboard
RM: That's right
JH: Have our comeback stage here
J: That's right
JH: This wasn't even in our wildest imagination
J: Exactly
JH: To have a comeback at Billboard
JM: You all made the impossible happen

S: The CEO said he's never heard such screams in his life
JH: Exactly
RM: We do a lot of interviews. 75% of the questions are all about you.
JH: That's right
S: Seriously
RM: "How is this possible?"
JM: "Who are the ARMYs?" "What is an ARMY?" "Why are your fans so passionate?"

JH: It's really, seriously amazing (how ARMY piques that much interest)
RM: It really is
S: I thought I wouldn't be able to hear the screams, but I could actually feel it with my body
JH: True
JM: It was so...
S: The tremors from the screams, I could feel it on my body

JM: We were so proud, it gave us so much strength, and we felt so supported.
JH: Seriously, this is an award that ARMYs also received. Thank you
JM: I was so happy with the screams
RM: They put all their soul into it
JH: Is there anything else you want to say?
RM: I'll hold it

RM: You're going through a lot of trouble
JH: No worries
JK: You went through the most trouble
JH: Hey, hey, let's give a round of applause to RM. (can't hear) All the interviews

RM clapping with his face lmao

J: Without the leader we'll struggle with the interviews
JH: In the middle when NJ went to the bathroom
RM: I was in the bathroom when Tyra Banks - I really like Tyra Banks - Tyra-sshi came over
JH: There were so many celebs coming over-

J: NJ, everytime you went to the bathroom and celebs came over we-
JH, J: We got so anxious LOL "When's NJ coming back?"
S: Let's put a bedpan (next to him) from now on
RM: What's important is that I get anxious too, I'm like "What if someone else is coming over?"

Note: Translated into "bed pan" for easy understanding. The word Suga used (요강) is a small pot (example pictured) that people in the olden days used to keep in their bedrooms back when the housing quarters and toilets were separated and far away

JM: None of you were there when I was in the middle of a corridor when I met Khaled. "Yo~ yeah~ Oh~"
J: We were so anxious-
JM: That's all I could do
J: We just repeated the end of their sentences
V: Uh, what is it
RM: Taehyung, please show us your face, we can't see it

V: We saw Neo hyung-nim next to the stage
RM: Oh, Neo hyung-him. With a fedora on his head
V: When you went to the bathroom, we kept meeting each other's eyes
RM: Oh really?
V: And he was saying something
RM: You should have sung "One in a Million" to him
V: "Go getter"

JH, RM: (loling at "Go getter")
RM: Make your bed (the end rhymes with "getter" in Korean)
JH: Seriously, we had a lot of fun today
RM: A lot of fun
JM: Seriously so fun. We really wanted to perform last year
All: Right, right
JM: And we did that today. It was an honor

JH: It was exhilarating
JM: I felt it again, it's not an opportunity that just comes. It was such an honor and it was so fun. I learned a lot
RM: It's all thanks to you, really
S: We did Billboard, we did AMAs, so a lot of celebs knew us
RM: Almost half were our friends

JH: Hey, when we got the award, The Chainsmokers (can't hear properly, something about greeting)
J: We hugged
JH: We were almost like best friends
S: What was really funny to me was
JM: (Loling and pointing at J) So that's why you were laughing/smiling

S: What I found so (surprisingly) funny was how much the Lil Pump staff like us
RM: Lil Pump staffs were like, "Oh! B- Man, we gotta get the pump man, man this is BTS" and when we were taking a photo, "Lil Pump with BTS!"
S: It was so surreal when the manager asked us for a pic

JM: For me, what was so funny was... I've never really seen NJ hyung be nervous when he speaks. But when we went to meet Pharrell, he was saying the same thing in English but he was stuttering so much
JH: You were so nervous
J: We grew up listening to him

RM: He's my idol. Not just in music, but also in music I'm so inspired by him. I think he's the sexiest man on earth, his voice.. *sings* His voice, really. I was so nervous
J: For me, what was funniest (since it was so surreal) was Legend hyung-nim
RM: The legendary hyung-nim

S: John Legend hyung-nim. Our CD came out of his bag and he asked us to sign the CD
RM: Seriously, that was...
S: It was so surreal
RM: So surreal
JH: We have so many behind the scenes stories
S: When we were taking a photo I taught hyung-nim the finger heart

S: That's all going to be in the behind the scenes video, right?
RM: I guess it will be released
V: Also, we got a lot of invitations to after parties, but we (turned it down) all for the V App
JH: Of course we have to do the V App!
RM: I told them, "We have a party to attend"

JM: Our party?
RM: A fun V App party with Big Hit!!
All: Yeah!
RM: Welcome!
JH: Everyone, this is a party! Look, we have champagne
RM: Right, there even was a V Live booth out there
V: Oh right~ (thumbs up to RM)
RM: It looked really cool
S: Naver is spreading worldwide

By the way if anybody is gonna make fan subs with my translations on V App that's totally fine, you can go ahead as long as you credit me where you can

RM: That's right
J: Naver is going global, with BTS going global
JH: It was very surreal today
JK: Good, good, good
JH: It's a little embarassing to say this myself but I feel like it was a historic day
RM: We were so thankful, we once again felt your power, yes, really.

JK: It was nice meeting all those celebs, but performing was the best
RM: Right
JH: That's right
S: I didn't think much about the celebs
RM: That was more like it's nice to meet them when we're here
S: For me there's the language barrier so it's more like "wow, this is surreal"

J: Honestly, there were so many fans onsite so it was great
JH: It definitely boosts our morale (= less inhibited, heads held higher, etc.) and pride
RM: So true
V: The reason why the camera was on the fans so much was because they were having so, so much fun
RM: That's right

V: They couldn't NOT film them
S: The screams were loudest when we went in so people were understandably fascinated
JK: People were cheering us so much when we walked into the arena, even during the breaks, they're going "BTS!" for us.

JK: If we could, we would have stood up and been all "thank you!"
RM: We would have gone around the venue
JK: But we couldn't express all of that because of all the people and the celebs around us (=it would have been a bother to them)
RM: I was timid and going "yeah!" by myself

JH: I silently raised my arm with a thumbs up
JM: I also want to tell them this. When we were walking up to get our award, we were very calm. But inside-
RM: I practiced a lot for that, I was like "I want to walk up to the stage looking cool"

JM: I didn't even know they were announcing our category. Taehyung had to tell me. I was just sitting there when I read the sign that popped up and was thinking "we're gonna get it, right? we're probably gonna get it. WE GOT IT!! *cute noise of triumph*" and went out like that

Ugh work stuff just came up guys, it was a fun ditching work and tweeting translations while it lasted lol

I think I covered the bulk of the content and since Naver will be uploading the video with their own subs in a day or so, I'll be ending it here!

~THE END~

[CORRECTION] As those who have watched the V Live whole John Legend story with the CD and the finger heart was by Jin, not Suga. I accidentally put S for Seokjin instead of J for Jin

SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION!!!!

What the heck apparently I can’t speak English anymore

“As those who watched the V Live know, the whole story about John Legend was by Jin” is what I meant
