    Artist and producer Zico continues to enjoy long-term success on the American Billboard charts.

    According to the latest chart released by Billboard on June 15th (local time), Zico's digital single 'SPOT! (feat. JENNIE)' has secured the 43rd position on the 'Global (Excluding U.S.)' chart and the 81st position on the 'Global 200' chart, maintaining its charting streak for 6 consecutive weeks.

    Especially noteworthy is that 'SPOT!' has consistently demonstrated its popularity by staying within the 'Top 50' on the 'Global (Excluding U.S.)' chart and within the 'Top 100' on the 'Global 200' chart for 6 weeks.

    Unlike the 'Hot 100' chart, which combines broadcast scores and album sales, Billboard's two charts rank based on online streaming and digital sales (downloads) aggregated from over 200 countries/regions worldwide.

    Meanwhile, Zico is scheduled to perform on stage at the 'Waterbomb Seoul 2024' event, taking place at KINTEX on July 5th, and at the '2024 Beer Rock Music Festival' in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on July 7th.

    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.
