BTOB's Peniel is ready to show off his hidden vocal skills with his new song. Peniel will release his digital single 'Story of My Life' on June 19 at 6 PM on various music sites, making a comeback for his global fans.

This is Peniel's first solo release since 'Valentine' in 2021, about 3 years and 4 months ago. The new single features two tracks: the title track 'MIoBI (Make It or Break It)' and 'Come Home'.

'MIoBI' is about a bright time in someone's life, thanks to a deep relationship from the past. The song mixes rock vibes with Peniel's refreshing vocals, showing a side of him not often seen as a rapper.

'Come Home' is about a man's feelings after being betrayed by his partner. It talks about wanting the partner to come back, but also not wanting to be hurt again, using 'home' as a metaphor.

Peniel, who often writes and produces for BTOB, has also written and composed for this release, adding his unique touch.

Fans are excited to see how he will win their hearts with his new songs and style, showing a different side from his rapper image.

On June 18, a day before the release, a reaction video featuring BTOB members was posted on their official YouTube channel at 6 PM. Lee Minhyuk called 'MIoBI' "a refreshing song perfect for summer, making you want to run to the beach."

Seo Eunkwang said, "Peniel's style is very distinct, and the music is so good that it could be a BTOB song."

Lim Hyunsik added, "It's rare to find such great songs right from the start, and if I heard it while walking, I'd wonder, 'What's this song?'"

A live broadcast to celebrate the new release will also be held on BTOB's official YouTube channel at 7 PM on the same day. In this live session, Peniel will talk about his solo release and share stories while chatting with fans worldwide, adding to the excitement.

Peniel's new song 'MIoBI' will be out at 6 PM on June 19 on various music sites.

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.
