For those ARMY new to the sub, at the beginning of each year, in a tradition started by /u/dorkprincess in 2016, we hold our annual r/bangtan awards!

How it works

You will nominate your favorite moments of 2025 in the categories listed below. The nomination period is not yet open; however, there is a rolling nomination form open so you can begin to add your favorites, if you want. The form is also located in the sidebar for easy access.

Nominations will officially open in January and will remain open for about a week, at which point we will lock the thread and start sorting.

Then, pain voting will begin! We'll have two rounds of voting and then the winners will be announced!

You can check out past winners in the sub wiki!
