TOMORROW X TOGETHER has wrapped up their first-ever pop-up event in China since their debut. From June 28 to July 2, the group (comprising Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Huening Kai) hosted the 'TOMORROW X TOGETHER minisode 3: TOMORROW POP-UP in Beijing' at Galleria Shopping Center. This event follows their previous pop-up in Seoul, held to celebrate their mini 6th album 'minisode 3: TOMORROW' in April.

The Beijing pop-up recreated the album's storyline, focusing on "remembering past promises and embarking on a journey to find 'you' whom they promised together."

It featured various photo zones that were popular at their Seoul event, showcasing behind-the-scenes photos and key album artifacts.

The symbolic crown worn by the members in album concept photos was also prominently displayed, enriching its significance. Special merchandise unique to the Beijing event, including exclusive T-shirts, received a warm reception from fans.

In addition to their pop-up success, TOMORROW X TOGETHER recently dropped their Japanese single 'CHIKAI' on July 3.

They performed the title track 'We'll Never Change' for the first time at the '2024 FNS Kayousai Summer' on the same day, highlighting their active presence in the Japanese market.

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

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.
