The group BTS member RM has received the honor of winning at the 'American Music Awards' (American Music Awards), one of the three major American music award ceremonies.
According to the official website of the 'American Music Awards' on the 26th (local time), RM has been selected as the winner of this year's 'Favorite K-Pop Artist' institutional sector. As a result, he has become the only K-Pop artist to have won trophies at the 'American Music Awards' as both a group member and a solo artist.
The group BTS, to which he belongs, swept the awards at this ceremony in 2021, including the prestigious 'Artist of the Year,' along with 'Favorite Pop Duo/Group' and 'Favorite Pop Song.' In 2022, they were again recognized as a 'Favorite Pop Duo or Group' and 'Favorite K-Pop Artist,' achieving two awards.
RM received acclaim from the public and critics for his solo second album 'Right Place, Wrong Person,' released last May. 'Right Place, Wrong Person' was selected as a '2024 Best Album' by influential international media outlets such as Billboard, Rolling Stone, and NME, and several tracks from the album were also included in the '2024 Best Song' list, drawing attention.
In particular, RM was recognized for his artistry and originality through the album's title track 'LOST!'. Upon the album's release, the British music magazine NME described 'Right Place, Wrong Person,' which includes this track, as "a beautiful and intriguing artistic work," giving it a perfect score of 5 points. Grammy.com also highly praised RM's versatility and creativity, commending the album's completeness.
The 'LOST!' music video recently swept three institutional sectors at the '2025 Shark Music Video Awards' for 'Best Music Video,' 'Best R&B / Soul Video,' and 'Best Direction.' Previously, this music video also won multiple awards at the British Music Video Awards, the Germany Cisolop Festival, and the Berlin Commercial Awards.
