• NewJeans May Win Nothing At The 2023 Asia Artist Awards (AAA)? 

    NewJeans will be at the 2023 Asia Artist Awards after winning a lot of Daesang awards at the 2023 MAMA and MMA.


    As we shall see, the Asia Artist Awards (AAA) are an event that recognizes and rewards the outstanding work and accomplishments of Asian artists in music, TV, and movies.

    People in the South Korean entertainment business look forward to this awards show every year because it always has a great lineup.

    The Philippines is the fourth Asian country that will hold AAA. The first three were South Korea, Vietnam, and Japan.

    With a capacity of up to 55,000 people, the Philippines stadium is the largest indoor stadium in the world, according to Guinness World Records. The 2023 AAA will be held there.


    As in past years, the 2023 AAA will bring together a lot of actors and singers from South Korea and other Asian countries with a lot of ability.

    But, unlike some other awards where clear criteria are given for each group, most of the prizes at AAA are decided by fan votes alone, and the rest are given out based on criteria that are kept secret.
    The organizers say that voting information for most of the award categories comes from people all over the world, in places like Asia, Europe, South America, and North America.

    The first round of AAA voting ended successfully on November 9. From November 14 to November 30, people could vote for the Favorite Male/Female Actor and Favorite Male/Female Singer awards.

    In the final round of voting, the best artists will be chosen as winners in each area. The winners will be announced at the award ceremony.

    Fans think that this battle is very tough.
    Notably, NewJeans, who broke the record by winning all four Daesang awards at the 2023 MAMA and MMA, didn't get many votes in the first round.

    This means that NewJeans might not be one of the female acts who win at the 2023 AAA.
    At the same time, Sakurazaka46 and NiziU, two Japanese girl groups, are in first place with huge vote shares.

    The 2023 AAA, on the other hand, will be held and shown on December 14.

  • BTS's Jimin Breaks Records in Japan with "Who" as it Earns Prestigious 'Gold' Streaming Certification

    BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

    Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

    This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

    The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

    This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

    Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

    With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

    Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

    Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
