EXO member D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) recently met with his fans in Bangkok, making it a night to remember.

On August 10 and 11, D.O. held his 'BLOOM in BANGKOK' fan concert at Thunder Dome Muang Thong Thani. This event is part of his 2024 Asia fan concert tour, which has been a huge success, with tickets selling out immediately in every location.

D.O. kicked off the show with his title track 'Mars' from his third mini-album and got the crowd excited by greeting them in their local language.

Throughout the concert, D.O. connected with fans in fun ways. He shared personal stories in a "10 TMI Questions and Answers" segment, talked about his experiences in Bangkok, and even shared behind-the-scenes moments from the tvN variety show 'Kong’s Kitchen.'

Fans were thrilled when he sang short parts of IU’s 'Love Wins All,' Justin Bieber’s 'Love Yourself,' and EXO’s '3.6.5' at their request.

D.O. owned the stage, showing off his strong energy, great stage presence, and perfect live vocals. His emotional delivery of each song and impressive ad-libs left fans in awe.

The fans played their part too, creating a special atmosphere with their loud cheers, coordinated singing, and LED card displays reading “I DO ♥ U” and “See You Again ♥.” They even organized slogan and video events that added to the concert’s memorable vibe.

As the show went on, the cheers grew louder. D.O. was so touched by the fans’ energy that he momentarily forgot the lyrics to his encore song ‘Popcorn,’ instead taking a moment to look lovingly at his fans.

After the concert, D.O. expressed his gratitude, saying, "It was really great to be back in Bangkok after so long, and what I missed the most was all of you. I will remember the cheers and energy you gave me today. I’ll work hard and make sure to come back soon.”

D.O. will continue his 'BLOOM' tour with upcoming performances in Malaysia on the 17th and in Manila on August 31 and September 1.

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.
