TWS (short for Tours) has clinched their very first music show trophy since their comeback.

On June 2nd, TWS—comprising members Shin Yu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihun, and Kyungmin—secured the top spot on SBS MTV’s ‘The Show’ with their title track, “If I’m S, You’re My N,” from their second mini-album, ‘SUMMER BEAT!’.

The song notched up impressive scores in both album sales and digital downloads. ‘The Show’ calculates rankings based on a combination of album sales (40%), digital sales (10%), music video views (20%), broadcast points (15%), pre-voting (5%), and live voting (10%).

In their heartfelt response, TWS shared, “Through our mini 2nd album ‘SUMMER BEAT!’, we aimed to showcase our growth. We’ll keep pushing ourselves to become an even better TWS. And most importantly, we’re immensely thankful to our fans, 42 Minutes, who support us wholeheartedly.”

TWS has swiftly emerged as the “Rookie of the Year 2024,” achieving remarkable success within just six months of their debut. Their second mini-album, ‘SUMMER BEAT!’, released on June 24th, surpassed 500,000 copies sold in its debut week, nearly doubling their previous record. The album topped the Hanteo Weekly Physical Album Chart and the World Chart (June 24-30).

But that’s not all—the digital realm is buzzing with TWS’s presence. Their title track, “If I’m S, You’re My N,” made its debut on the Melon Top 100 at 94th place (as of June 25, 0:00), steadily climbing to reach its peak position at 44th (as of July 1, 9:00 AM). The song also secured spots on the top charts in 10 countries, including hitting the #1 spot on iTunes Top Songs charts in three countries.

On the same eventful day, TWS delivered a powerful performance of “If I’m S, You’re My N” and their track “Double Take.” The dynamic choreography of “Double Take” held viewers spellbound, setting the stage for the refreshing and sharp moves of “If I’m S, You’re My N.”

This performance, featuring diverse pair dances among three members each and dynamic choreography involving all six members, received acclaim for infusing the songs with clear and invigorating energy.

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.
