[K-enter] RM named 'Favorite K-pop Artist' at the AMAs

And our K-enter news is all about male K-pop power today.

Bella, we are going to start with one of the members of BTS?

That's right. RM won a trophy at the 2025 American Music Awards, one of the major music awards in the United States. According to the official website of the AMAs, RM was named the winner of this year's 'Favorite K-Pop Artist' category. Previously, BTS won at the AMAs for five consecutive years from 2018 to 2022.

Launched in 1974, the AMAs is considered one of the most influential pop music awards in the U.S. alongside the Grammy Awards and Billboard Music Awards. After the 2022 event, the ceremony was suspended, but it has returned this year for the first time in three years.

Currently, RM is serving his mandatory military service, and will be discharged next month.

Something to celebrate before his release, which will be in less than two weeks now.

It's always great to see group members do well in both group and solo activities. And of course, BTS never lets us down.. because we have another member with an impressive milestone. Who is it?

Jin has topped Spotify's global chart with his latest release, "Don't Say You Love Me." According to Spotify on Tuesday, it has reached the top of the latest 'Daily Top Song Global' chart.

"Don't Say You Love Me," from Jin's second mini-album "Echo," delves into the complexities of a crumbling relationship, where despite the evident breakdown, the lovers find themselves unable to easily let go due to their lingering affection.

Previously, it debuted at No.9 on the same chart upon its release on May 16th, and also reached 58th on the UK's 'Official Singles Chart Top 100.'

Nothing can stop BTS from reaching new milestones, whether its as a group or individually. Our last story for today is also on a boy group with an amazing feat, right after their 10th anniversary celebration.

Seventeen's latest album "HAPPY BURSTDAY" sold more than 2 million units on the day of its release, May 26th. According to Hanteo Chart, the new album sold over 2.26 million copies and topped the chart's daily album chart.

The album is also doing great in the music charts. The title track of the album, "THUNDER" reached the No.1 spot on Melon's Top 100, after debuting on the chart at No.7. Additionally, the album topped iTunes 'Top Albums' chart and 'Worldwide iTunes Album' chart in 15 regions and the title track topped iTunes 'Top Songs' chart in 13 regions.

Seventeen's 5th full-length album "HAPPY BURSTDAY," symbolizes not just celebration but an explosive new beginning to reflect the group's determination to be reborn as a new version of themselves.

Happy birthday and "burstday" to them! Thank you Bella for today's stories.
