Actress Suzy won the honor of Best Actress in a Leading Role for her first solo starring work.

On July 19th, the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards (BSA) took place at Incheon Paradise City. On this day, the Blue Dragon Series Awards were hosted by broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo and singer-actress Lim Yoon-ah, continuing from last year.

In the drama category, Suzy was selected as the winner of the Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Anna in the Coupang Play original series "Anna".

In the series, Anna, who grew tired of her exhausting life, becomes the object of envy for everyone as she starts living a completely opposite life, receiving attention from people. "Anna" depicts the story of a woman who ends up living a different person's life starting with a small lie.

Suzy said, "It's an honor just to be nominated alongside respected senior actors, and I am grateful to receive such a prestigious award. 'Anna' was a work that made me both excited and fearful, as it held a lot of ambitions. Therefore, the process of choosing and every moment of filming will be cherished and remain meaningful in my memory. I thank all the staff who worked hard for 'Anna' and created unforgettable moments on set. To my colleagues and senior actors who were with me, thank you for your hard work and guidance. I will treasure this award as a representative of everyone involved in 'Anna.'"

On another note, the Blue Dragon Series Awards is the first domestic series content awards ceremony that targets domestically released OTT dramas and entertainment shows from platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Watcha, Wavve, KakaoTV, Coupang Play, and Tving.

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.
