• Majority in BTS New Album "Proof" Deemed Unfit For Broadcast By KBS

    BTS's June 10 comeback was met with thundering news.

    Some tracks from BTS' latest album 'Proof' were deemed inadmissible by the KBS decision room on June 8.

    BTS submitted four songs: 'For Youth,' 'Run BTS,' 'Yet To Come,' and 'Born Singer,' however only the title song was qualified.

    'Run BTS' and 'Born Singer' were disqualified for profanity and vulgarity.

    "For Youth" awaits judgment.

    "In the first 30 seconds, the sound effect song's lyrics weren't attached," said the KBS discussion chamber.

    'Run BTS' and 'Born Singer' won't be on the air, but fans were thrilled that BTS returned with a rough and forceful song.

    They're drawn to BTS's honest lyrics, even if they use swear words.

    BTS will premiere a new song through 'Proof Live' on June 13, the 9th anniversary of their debut.

    BTS will perform on Mnet 'M Countdown' for the first time in two years on June 16.

    BTS generated 100 billion won in performance money in the first half of this year. It's unclear if this album will be as successful.

  • BTS's Jimin Makes History by Winning 'Fan’s Choice Grand Prize' at the 2024 MAMA Awards

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
