K-pop stars BTS were one of the biggest winners of the night at this year’s virtual MTV EMAs ceremony, taking home four awards.

The event, which was hosted by British pop group Little Mix, included high-octane performances from David Guetta and Raye, Maluma and more.

BTS took home the prizes for Best Song, Best Group, Biggest Fans and Best Virtual Live Gig.

Lady Gaga, the most-nominated artist of the night, won the Best Artist and Best US Act awards, while Justin Bieber received an award for his appearance in DJ Khaled and Drake’s music video for “Popstar”.

Along with hosting the night, Little Mix were also acknowledged via wins for Best Pop Act, and Best UK & Ireland Act. They performed their new single “Sweet Melody”, and later thanked their fans on Twitter with the message: “You did all that!!!”

The group appeared at the event without member Jesy Nelson after she was taken ill. Nelson also missed Saturday night’s (7 November) final of The Search due to illness.
