• "MAMA Awards" has a special place in BTS J-Hope's heart than any other award show for this unexpected reason

    This is something that only J-Hope can say about himself.


    Shortly after giving an amazing main stage performance of songs from his first debut album Jack in the Box, BTS's J-Hope left the 2022 MAMA Awards with such a bag full of awards for him as as a soloist and for BTS as a group.

    Even though performing at and winning awards at the MAMAs is exciting and a big deal for every artist, J-Hope recently talked about why his time during this awards night is especially important to him.

    J-Hope held a live broadcast after the show so he could talk to ARMY and answer a few of their questions.

    He said, "Does everyone know MFMF? Since I've seen it since then, Mama is… Looking at the comments Haha, some people say they know MKMF!"

    What J-Hope is talking about is the MAMA Awards' old name.

    From 2004 to 2007, the show was called the MKMF (Mnet KM Music Video Festival, which soon changed to Mnet KM Music Festival).

    J-Hope was between 10 and 13 years old at the time.

    He then added, "Since I've been watching the MAMAs since I was young, they mean more to me. We really appreciate all the awards. We also won the "Platinum Award," which made me think, "We won that much?" It was very important to me."

    J-Hope grew up watching the show, which makes it even more special that he is now such a big part of it.
    He got a lot of awards to add to his collection, and he gave a performance that everyone will remember for a long time.

  • 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.
