BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) member Jimin did not have a 'military blank period' (military + blank period). Even during his military service, he received the first grand prize at the '2024 MAMA AWARDS' (hereafter, 2024 MAMA) with a solo album. Jimin received the 'Fan's Choice of the Year' award at '2024 MAMA' held at Kyocera Dome Osaka from 6 PM on the 22nd. He became the protagonist of the first grand prize among four grand prizes.
