"Burning Ember (Please Stay)" captures the feeling of longing for a loved one and the uncertainty of whether to love again, much like a 'burning ember.' The song has a beautiful band sound that highlights the group's emotional depth.

Lee Min Hyuk and Lim Hyun Sik played a big role in writing and composing the song, while Peniel contributed his rap skills, perfectly showcasing BTOB's unique musical style and heartfelt emotions. The lyrics, "Even when soaked in sadness, it doesn’t extinguish; my ember is still alive," reflect BTOB's intent to create a ballad that shines brighter through overcoming sadness.

The BECOMING PROJECT marks the first collaboration among BTOB members under BTOB Company, with 'BECOMING' cleverly representing the group's name. It symbolizes how each piece of the project comes together to create a complete album.

This project also shows that the members, who have shared their individual talents through solo and unit activities, will continue to convey BTOB's special emotional vibe. After "Burning Ember (Please Stay)," fans can look forward to more digital singles in November and December, with a final album set to be released in 2025, wrapping up the BECOMING PROJECT.

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.
