BTS's Jimin conveyed his feelings about winning the grand prize at the '2024 MAMA AWARDS'. On November 23, in the afternoon, through the fan community platform Weverse, he wrote, 'Thank you so much, ARMY (the name of BTS's fans), for hearing such a grateful story and coming back like this. Even though I'm a soldier, to receive the grand prize... why do you give me such a present? I'm deeply moved, even more moved.' Previously, on the 22nd, he won the 'Fans' Choice of the Year' award, one of the four grand prizes at the '2024 MAMA AWARDS' Chapter 1 held at Kyocera Dome Osaka. Along with this, he also received the 'Fans' Choice Mail', achieving a double crown. He mentioned, 'Recently, I've been talking a lot with Jungkook about what kind of songs to show after returning from military service and what kind of stage to present, and I'm already excited about it.' He added, 'In such a situation, to receive such a big award, I was taken aback. Bonbon. Bonbonbonbonbon.' He continued, 'Thank you so much, everyone. When the day comes that I can repay you, I think showing the best stage will be the biggest present. It may seem obvious, but I will grow more and show a better version of myself, so please look forward to it. I love you, ARMY.' After seeing the post, Jungkook commented, 'Bonbon? Bonbonbonbon?' to which Jimin replied, 'Bonbonbon.' The playful exchange between the two made the oldest member, Jin, react with laughter, saying, 'What are you talking about?' J-HOPE also left a unique congratulatory message, 'Bung, congratulations Jimin.' Jimin enlisted in the army last December and is serving in the 5th Infantry Division.
