Jungkook and Taylor Swift
BTS member Jungkook has won two awards at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, marking his second consecutive year winning at the BBMAs. BTS triumphed at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), highlighting their global dominance. With Jungkook bagging two awards, ARMY is going crazy and buzzing with excitement.
Jungkook, the youngest member of the BTS group, claimed the title of Top K-pop Album with his debut solo album, GOLDEN. He also took home the award for Top Global K-pop Song with its title track, Standing Next to You. Jungkook is currently completing his military service, which will finish in 2025 before he reunites with his fellow BTS members. However, this was not the only exciting news for the BTS group. Another equally thrilling update for the ARMY is that Kim Taehyung, also known as V, just topped the Billboard Holiday Digital Song Sales chart with his single Winter Ahead.
With Jungkook bringing home two awards, he was not the only K-pop artist to earn acclaim at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards. Other K-pop acts also made their marks at the awards. Boy group Stray Kids took home the Top Global K-pop Artist award, while Seventeen won the Top K-pop Touring Artist award.
