Roy Kim is back on top! His latest single, “If You Ask Me What Love Is,” hit No. 1 on Melon’s daily ballad chart on November 6, marking a huge moment in his music career.

The track, which Roy describes as a “guide to love” for those searching for true romance, brings out his classic, heartwarming ballad style. It quickly entered Melon’s TOP100 chart within an hour of its release last month.

Even during a busy comeback season, the song has steadily climbed up, showing its lasting impact on fans and the charts.

This is Roy Kim’s first time topping Melon’s weekly ballad chart in nearly six years, since his 2018 hit “Let’s Stop” held No. 1 for a week in September.

What’s even more special is that he achieved this with a song he wrote and composed himself, setting him apart from covers and popular classics.

With hits like “Spring Spring Spring” and “Only Then” already under his belt, Roy Kim has once again proven his strong presence in digital music with this new track.

Fans can catch him live at his upcoming solo concert, Roy Actually, this December.

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.
