Both artists should be praised for what they have done.

On January 11, 2023, the nominees for the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards were announced.

Some of the most famous artists in the world were honored for their amazing contributions to music over the past year.

There were nominations for stars like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Lizzo, Drake, BLACKPINK, and more.

BTS as a group was chosen to compete for two awards: "Best Music Video" for their song "Yet to Come" and "Best Fan Army" for their official fanbase, which is called "ARMY."

Jungkook, the maknae (the youngest member of a group in Korean), got a lot of attention for his work on the hit song "Left and Right" with Charlie Puth. The two people were also up for "Best Music Video."

Then, some news sites said online that he was the first solo K-Pop artist to be nominated for an iHeartRadio Music Award.

Fans of Girls' Generation's Tiffany Young were upset by the news, but they were wrong because Tiffany had won the "Best Solo Breakout" award at the same show in 2019.

Some fans said that erasing Tiffany's accomplishment was even more frustrating because the singer's 2019 win was a huge step forward for both Asian and female artists.

Both singers' accomplishments should be praised and not be forgotten.

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.
