• DAY6's Young K surpasses G-Dragon and Zico in copyright royalties, only behind BTS’s RM

    DAY6's Young K has recently unveiled his impressive standing in the realm of copyright royalties.

    On the recent episode of MBC’s popular show ‘Omniscient Interfering View’, which aired on April 13th, Young K from DAY6 made a special appearance. His presence sparked an interesting conversation about the hidden wealth in copyright royalties.

    Song Eun-i, upon seeing Young K, couldn’t help but express her surprise. “Isn’t Young K a secret royalty king? It’s mind-blowing. He’s right behind (BTS) RM who’s in second place. Even G-Dragon and Zico are trailing behind him in fifth and sixth places. Can you imagine how extraordinary it is to be in third place?”

    Curious about his recent work, she asked, “How many songs did you contribute to this time?” Young K responded, “We were involved in writing and composing all the songs this time as well.”

    He modestly added, “It seems like the number of songs we’ve worked on determines our ranking in copyright royalties. We’ve been consistently involved in writing and composing all our songs since our debut.” Lee Young Ja couldn’t help but admire Young K’ humble demeanor amidst his success.

    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.
