• Crush on working with BTS's J-Hope, "He really worked hard without giving me time to go to the bathroom"

    Crush praised the passion of BTS's J-Hope, who participated in his feature work.

    Crush appeared on JTBC's "Music Universe K-909", which aired on September 24.

    Crush, who first met and greeted BoA, who he had worked with three years ago, introduced the title song "Rush Hour", which was released a month after the cancellation.

    Crush said, "It has fun elements in it, and it's a funky song, so I'm embarrassed in the middle, but there's a performance. BTS J-Hope featured in it".

    He explained the process, "J-Hope came to my studio to play my full-length album, and I became very close to him. We shared our hardships and good things, and he said that there's a theme called 'Rush Hour', and he said that it would be very fun if you put it into this song his way and my way".

    Crush released the working episode with "While I was being recorded by J-Hope, I felt that he wasn't a world star for nothing".

    He added, "He really worked hard without giving me time to go to the bathroom. Passionately. So thank you so much".

    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.
