BTS’s RM has set a new milestone for K-pop with his music video for "LOST!" being awarded twice at the UK Music Video Awards 2024. On October 24, the UKMVA announced that RM’s video for LOST!, the lead track from his second solo album Right Place, Wrong Person, took home awards for Best Alternative Video – International and Best Production Design in a Video.

This marks a historic first for K-pop, as the UKMVA has been honoring creative music videos since 2008, covering genres like pop, R&B, and dance, while focusing on standout concepts and visual storytelling. The Best Alternative Video – International award highlights original concepts and storytelling, while Best Production Design recognizes artistic and creative visuals.

Directed by French filmmaker Aube Perrie, known for his work with artists like Harry Styles, the LOST! video portrays RM navigating a maze-like world, filled with symbolic and quirky objects that add to the video's mysterious and captivating feel.

The imaginative visuals and storytelling received high praise, impressing viewers with every twist and turn.

This isn’t the only recognition for LOST! – the video also won in the Craft: Cinematography category at the 2024 Berlin Commercial Awards in August. Recently, it scored gold in Direction and Production Design, along with bronze for Cinematography and Color Grading at Germany’s CICLOPE Festival.

RM’s creative vision in LOST! continues to shine, solidifying his place as a global music and visual artist.

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.
