Congratulations to BTS on winning Best K-Pop Artist at the Japan Music Awards Japan 2026.

This is great news. It seems like a meaningful award that once again confirms the influence and presence of BTS, who have been loved by fans around the world for a long time.

This award is particularly meaningful given that Japan is a market where BTS has consistently received immense love. I believe it is a result of their musicality, popularity, and status as global artists being recognized. Although BTS has set numerous records since their debut, I think it is truly remarkable that they continue to achieve new milestones.

In the categories announced alongside this, BLACKPINK's "JUMP" was selected as Best K-Pop Song in Japan, demonstrating the powerful influence of K-Pop. It makes me feel even more proud to see Korean artists achieving great results at major Japanese awards ceremonies.

Above all, I believe this result was possible thanks to the time BTS and ARMY have spent together. I hope they continue to touch the hearts of many more people with their great music and wonderful activities, and I sincerely congratulate them on this award.
