BTS member Jin is unstoppable! The global star has just been awarded the '2025 First Brand Awards' in the Vietnam category as the 'Male Solo Artist,' further solidifying his status as a superstar across the globe.
On January 7, Jin was named the winner of this prestigious honor, announced by the Korea Consumer Forum.
The '2025 Korea First Brand Awards,' now in its 23rd year, is one of the largest brand award ceremonies in South Korea, recognizing the most influential figures and brands based on surveys from consumers and expert evaluations.
What makes this recognition even more exciting is that the awards are based on consumer surveys beyond South Korea, including Vietnam, giving Jin a truly international boost.
Through these surveys, the Korea Consumer Forum identified brands and figures with huge global potential, and it’s clear that Jin is one of them!
Jin earned this top spot after the huge success of his first solo album Happy, which dropped on November 15, 2024.
His unique sound, blending rock band vibes with his incredible vocals and deep emotional delivery, took the world by storm. Not only did Happy dominate charts, but it also earned Jin the title of a top solo artist internationally.
His title track, Running Wild, stood out as the ONLY song by a male K-pop artist to be included in Amazon Music's '2025 Playlist', further cementing Jin’s worldwide fame. His influence as a global artist is undeniable, and the love from Vietnamese fans proves just how far his reach extends!
Since being discharged from the military on June 12, 2024, Jin has been on fire, participating in multiple activities that keep him in the spotlight. He was even a torchbearer for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics!
In addition, Jin has landed prestigious ambassador roles, including being a global ambassador for luxury brands like FRED and GUCCI. His collaboration with beauty giant LANEIGE led to products flying off the shelves, earning him the nickname 'Worldwide Sold-Out King.'
But that’s not all! Jin also represents the U.S. audio company Dolby and luxury activewear brand Alo Yoga. He was even named the 2024 Seoul Tourism Ambassador, showing off his versatile charm across the globe. Fans can’t get enough of him, especially with his solo variety show Run, Seokjin, where his warmth and comedic genius shine.
And if that wasn’t enough, Jin’s new role in the upcoming tvN drama When the Stars Gossip has fans buzzing, especially after news broke that he’ll be performing the main theme song for the series. Jin truly is a global phenomenon, and there’s no stopping him!
