On 9 November 2025, Jimin clinched the “Fan Favourite (Male)” trophy at the 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA), thanks to one of the most dedicated vote storms we’ve ever seen. He swept all four rounds of global voting via the Fancast app and racked up over 60 % of all votes in the final round. Yep—our man dominated.
And yes, there is a physical trophy waiting for him at the award ceremony to be held on 14-15 November at the Inspire Arena in Incheon.
Did Jimin need another award to prove his greatness? Nope. Did he need us ARMY to vote our hearts out? Probably not—but we did, because we wanted to. Because when someone gives you a chance to shine, you shine them up like the star they are.
Let’s talk context:
- Jimin just completed his military service in June 2025, which means he’s back in the full spotlight.
- He didn’t even need a fresh solo album to win this (though, hello, he could have). He won simply because we voted. Because global fans rallied. Because love doesn’t require a chart-bomb single to show up.
- The award is meaningful: “Fan Favourite” means this is not about judges or industry elites—it’s us, the fandom, making the moment.
- A physical trophy? For Jimin? Yes, that’s happening. (Trophy ceremony upcoming.)
For ARMY: We win. We win every time our boys shine. Because our sparkle is part of their shine. Jimin’s win reminds everyone that even when he takes a breath, he’s still relevant. Still loved. Still at the top of his game.
For Jimin: A moment of affirmation. Military service? Done. Comeback energy? Already building. Trophy in hand? Soon. This win says loud and clear: you matter. Your voice matters. Your artistry matters.
So to every ARMY member reading this: grab your purple lightstick, bust out that “Promise to be your light” chant, and celebrate like you’ve never celebrated before. Because this moment belongs to us and Jimin. The trophy? Just the external sparkle. The real magic? The global wave of love we created.
Jimin, you melted hearts, you raised votes, you got that trophy—and we knew you would. Now let’s keep shining together. Because, yes—when it’s BTS (and yes, our Jimin), you don’t need every billboard or headline to know the world is watching. We are watching. And we’re proud. Forever. 💜
