TOMORROW X TOGETHER is gearing up for a unique summer event.

On the 7th, TOMORROW X TOGETHER (Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Hueningkai) announced via their official SNS and the global fan platform Weverse that they will be holding an offline fan event titled 'PLAY X TOGETHER 2024'.

This event will be a special summer sports festival with their fans, known as MOA, and will take place on the 20th at the Myongji University Sports Hall in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

The event is a real-life version of the 'mini sports day' held on the metaverse platform ZEP with 100 fans in 2022. Back then, TOMORROW X TOGETHER engaged in interactive communication by deciding team names and slogans with fans and cheering each other on in real-time.

This year’s offline sports day is set to be on a larger scale, with participation increased fivefold compared to the online event. The five members will team up with 500 MOA fans, divided into five teams, competing in a team-based format.

Each member will lead a team of 100 people, with team names reflecting the members’ suggestions, creating anticipation.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER plans to strengthen their bond with fans through various games like basketball shooting, pedometer challenges, and tug-of-war.

For fans who cannot attend the event in person, Weverse will provide online live streaming. More details are available on TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s official Weverse community.

Additionally, TOMORROW X TOGETHER will run a pop-up event, ' TOMORROW X TOGETHER Official Character POP-UP', from August 8 to 21 at The Hyundai Seoul in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their official character, PPULBATU.

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.
