Congratulations are in order—again—for BTS’s youngest duo, because when Taehyung and Jungkook show up, they don’t just attend award shows, they own them. At the 2025 Jupiter Music Awards, Taehyung took home Male Artist of the Year, while Jungkook’s collab snagged Collaboration of the Year. In other words, the maknae line didn’t just represent—they dominated.
Let’s start with Taehyung. Male Artist of the Year. That title alone says it all. Competing against a sea of global stars, his artistry, voice, and style put him at the very top. Taehyung doesn’t just release music, he releases emotions wrapped in velvet vocals, and this award is proof that the world feels it. His solo career hasn’t just flourished—it’s bloomed into something that people can’t ignore, and the recognition is overdue and well-deserved.
Then there’s Jungkook, who seems to collect records and awards like most people collect socks. His collaboration win is no surprise—this is the man who’s been redefining what it means to be a global artist, effortlessly crossing genres and borders while setting streaming records in his sleep. Collaboration of the Year? Of course. Who else has the power to make the entire world hit “repeat” until the servers give up?
What makes this even sweeter is how fans celebrated both wins together. Taekook fans in particular flooded the internet with joy, calling it a double victory and pointing out how the two youngest members continue to raise the bar for what solo artistry from BTS looks like. It wasn’t just about trophies—it was about pride, love, and the feeling that these wins belonged not only to Taehyung and Jungkook but to the entire BTS family.
And let’s be real—this isn’t the end. If anything, these awards feel like warm-ups for the kind of global dominance the boys still have ahead. Every time someone dares to ask if BTS’s impact will fade, the members respond with another milestone, another headline, and another award that makes it crystal clear: BTS is forever, and their solos are unstoppable.
So yes, congratulations Taehyung and Jungkook. Male Artist of the Year and Collaboration of the Year—two more titles added to a legacy already overflowing with them. At this point, the only real question is how much shelf space they’ve got left for all these trophies.
