Jimin and Jungkook of BTS have been named finalists for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), marking their second consecutive year of recognition at the prestigious ceremony. The nominees, announced by the BBMAs on November 26 (KST), place the two artists in five categories, with notable overlap in two key categories.
Both Jimin and Jungkook are nominated for Top Global K-Pop Artist and Top Global K-Pop Song, continuing their streak of accolades in these categories from last year. These nominations underscore their success and highlight their influence in the global music scene.
Jimin’s title track Who from his second solo album MUSE earned him a spot in the Top Global K-Pop Song category. The track achieved significant success, peaking at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 following its release. The album itself has been praised for its emotional depth and artistic maturity, further solidifying Jimin’s standing as a solo artist.
Jungkook, on the other hand, has received multiple nominations tied to his solo endeavors. His solo single 3D and the title track Standing Next to You from his debut solo album GOLDEN are also contenders in the Top Global K-Pop Song category. Additionally, he is vying for Top Song Sales Artist, with GOLDEN securing a nomination for Top K-Pop Album. Jungkook’s chart dominance and streaming numbers continue to reflect his widespread appeal and growing influence as a solo performer.
The nominations reflect the evolving global presence of K-pop, as well as the individual achievements of its stars. Jimin and Jungkook’s ability to command the charts as solo artists, while remaining integral members of BTS, showcases their versatility and artistry.
BTS, the group to which Jimin and Jungkook belong, has a storied history with the BBMAs. Over the years, the group has won 12 awards, including titles such as Top Social Artist, Top Duo/Group, and Top Song Sales Artist. Their continued recognition at the BBMAs is a testament to their enduring global impact.
As the 2024 BBMAs approach, fans and industry watchers alike are eager to see whether Jimin and Jungkook will add to their impressive list of accolades. Their nominations further cement the duo’s position as leading figures in K-pop’s international expansion, while underscoring the genre’s growing influence on the global music industry.
