Highlight's talented member Lee Gikwang is gearing up for a highly anticipated solo concert after a five-year hiatus.

According to his agency Around Us, Lee Gikwang will headline the 2024 solo concert 'OBSESSED' on August 17th and 18th at Olympic Hall, Olympic Park in Seoul.

'OBSESSED' marks Lee Gikwang's first solo concert since his discharge in 2019, following the success of his previous mini live 'ONE' in 2018 and 'I' in 2019.

The concert promises to showcase his growth and identity as a solo artist, themed around "the most passionate and intense summer that can never escape like a Möbius strip."

Known not only as a main dancer and producer of Highlight but also as a dynamic soloist, Lee Gikwang made waves last year with his first solo full-length album 'PREDATOR', which included the title track earning him his first solo music show win.

Fans can look forward to a new setlist featuring songs from 'PREDATOR', elevating anticipation for Lee Gikwang's refined stage presence after this extended break.

Tickets for the 2024 Lee Gikwang solo concert 'OBSESSED' go on pre-sale for fan club members starting July 15th at 8 PM, followed by general sales opening on July 18th at 8 PM for remaining seats.

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.
