Jungkook is currently at 4th spot on the MMA live voting chart
For BTS’ Jungkook, the year 2023 was monumental as a solo artist. His debut solo album, GOLDEN, marked a new chapter for him, and its release garnered an overwhelming response from fans and the industry alike. Last year at the 2023 MelOn Music Awards (MMA), he made an impressive sweep, taking home four awards.
The BTS maknae won the Best Male Solo award, the Millions Top 10 award, a Bonsang Award for being in the Top 10 albums with over a million streams within the first 24 hours, and the Hot Trend Award. With these wins, he became the most-awarded solo artist at last year’s MMA.
Now, in 2024, he is once again nominated for the Bonsang Award, and fans are going all out to support him, especially given that he is currently serving his mandatory military service. Many feel that this nomination serves as a way for fans to show their support and appreciation for him.
The live voting period for this award began on October 31 and will continue until November 14. The official tracking period for the Bonsang Award is from November 2, 2023, to November 14, 2024. The winners will be announced at the MMA ceremony on November 30.
Jungkook is up against some other nominees like:
1. PLAVE
2. RIIZE
3. SEVENTEEN
4. Day6
5. IU
6. NewJeans
7. Aespa
8. IVE
9. QWER
Despite the strong competition, Jungkook’s fans are steadfast in their support, and many have already begun voting relentlessly.
Adding to his already impressive achievements, his record-breaking song, Seven recently surpassed 180 million streams and 3.3 million unique listeners on Melon. It is also the third most-streamed track of 2023 by any artist. These numbers reflect his popularity.
As of now, Jungkook is in fourth place in the live voting rankings for the Bonsang Award, and fans are eager to see if he can rise to the top before the voting period ends. With the final results still up in the air, ARMYs are hopeful about the possibility of Jungkook securing yet another Bonsang win.
