BOYNEXTDOOR (members: Sungho, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, and Unhak) is on a major rise, hitting new career highs both on album sales and digital charts!

Their 3rd mini-album’s title track, "Nice Guy," entered Melon’s daily chart at #86 on September 9. This is based on streaming and downloads within 24 hours, and it’s even more impressive considering the song dropped at 6 p.m., meaning it only had 18 hours to rack up those numbers! Along with that, their pre-release track "But I Like You," which came out on September 2, also made an appearance at #96.

While BOYNEXTDOOR had previously made it onto Melon’s real-time ‘Top 100,’ this marks the first time the group has cracked the daily chart, signaling a huge jump in their popularity.

Fans have been eagerly following the group ever since their April comeback with HOW?, and their growing fandom has clearly been making waves!

But it’s not just digital charts where BOYNEXTDOOR is slaying. Their 3rd mini album 19.99 sold a massive 609,666 copies on day one alone, setting a new record for the group, according to Hanteo Chart.

That’s a 56% jump from their previous release HOW?, which sold 531,911 copies in its first week — and now they’ve already blown past that in just one day!

Their music video for "Nice Guy" is also killing it, racking up over 10 million views on YouTube by 11 p.m. on its second day, September 10. It even ranked 8th on YouTube’s trending music charts as of 8 a.m. on September 11.

"Nice Guy" has that catchy, feel-good vibe that sticks with you after just one listen. The boys show off their confident, laid-back charm, fully believing they can capture anyone’s heart. Their youthful energy and expressive performances are making fans fall for them all over again!

BOYNEXTDOOR is keeping the momentum going with a live performance at the Hanyang Women's University festival in Seoul on September 11. It looks like there's no stopping them!

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.
