DAY6 (Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, Dowoon) has finally reached the top of the music charts after nine long years, and they couldn’t be more thrilled!

On September 2 at 6 PM, DAY6 dropped their ninth mini album, 'Band Aid,' and it has already made waves.

The album title 'Band Aid' cleverly mixes 'Band'—referring to the rock group—with 'Aid,' symbolizing support and healing, like a bandage. This reflects DAY6’s mission to uplift and encourage their fans through their music.

The lead track 'Melting' quickly made its mark, landing in the top 5 of Melon’s TOP 100 chart within an hour of its release.

By 7 PM on September 3, all tracks from the album had charted, with 'Monster' at 22nd, 'She Smiled' at 26th, 'Bad Game' at 36th, 'Help Me Rock & Roll' at 46th, 'COUNTER' at 56th, 'Still Alive There' at 62nd, and 'I'm Fine' at 63rd.

DAY6's success didn’t stop there. By 9 PM on September 2, 'Melting' had topped the charts. By 11 AM on September 3, DAY6 had achieved a 'chart all-kill,' hitting number one on all five major Korean music charts—Melon, Genie, Bugs, Vibe, and Flo. This is the first time they’ve achieved this feat since their debut in 2015.

In an interview with Newsen on September 3, DAY6 shared, “This moment is so special because it’s been a long time coming. When we heard we were No. 1, it felt like a dream and brought us to tears. We truly believe this success is thanks to the incredible support from our fans.”

They added, “We’re deeply thankful to My Day (DAY6’s official fan club) for always standing by us. We want to give back the joy we’ve received and hope to bring even more happiness to our fans. With heartfelt gratitude, we’ll keep delivering great music and performances while staying true to our roots. Thank you so much!”

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.
