International netizens, mostly non-Kpop fans, expressed frustration regarding BTS' victory and left some derogatory comments on Twitter.
Many asked, ''Who are these Asians?"

But it doesn't matter what they think. It's a fact with no doubt that BTS proudly represented, not just K-Pop but Asian artists as a whole. They deserve all the applause and even Miley agrees.
