RM, the leader of BTS, won the Favorite K-pop Artist award at the 2025 American Music Awards. This marks his first solo win, adding to his previous accolades with BTS. Due to his ongoing South Korean military service, RM accepted the award virtually, expressing his gratitude to fans via social media.
The win follows the success of his second solo album, 'Right Place, Wrong Person,' released in May 2024. The album achieved significant success, topping Billboard's Top Rap Albums Chart and reaching No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Several tracks from the album also gained popularity.
RM is scheduled to be discharged from military service on June 10, 2025, with other BTS members following throughout June. Anticipation is building for BTS's full reunion, expected in late June 2025, with hints of new music and potential world tours. The members have consistently expressed their eagerness to reunite, promising a 'massive' comeback.
