BTS (Bulletproof Boy Scouts)'s Jimin won the 'Best K-POP' award at the largest music awards ceremony in Europe, the '2024 MTV Europe Music Awards' (hereafter, '2024 MTV EMA'). On the 10th (local time), the '2024 MTV EMA' selected Jimin as this year's 'Best K-Pop' winner. Following Jungkook last year, a member of BTS has won the trophy in this category for two consecutive years. The 'MTV EMA' established the 'Best K-Pop' category in 2021. Jimin's second solo album 'MUSE' and its title track 'Who', released in July this year, have continued to rank on global charts of various music streaming sites for about four months since their release. This popularity is believed to have influenced his award at the '2024 MTV EMA'. The album 'MUSE' and the title track 'Who' have charted for 15 consecutive weeks on the US Billboard's 'Billboard 200' and 'HOT100'. In the UK's official chart, they have charted for 16 consecutive weeks, showcasing their global popularity. 'Who' ranked 4th on Spotify's 'Weekly Top Songs Global' (aggregation period: November 1-7) and has maintained its position in the top 5. Additionally, the song charted 4th on the 'UK Official Singles Chart' (aggregation period: July 26-August 1), achieving its highest record as a solo song on that chart. In its first week of release, it topped charts for 'single sales', 'single downloads', and 'physical single sales'. Jimin will hold solo exhibitions for his 1st solo album 'FACE' and 2nd solo album 'MUSE' in Los Angeles, USA on the 29th and in Tokyo on January 10 next year.
