Jungkook may be fulfilling his mandatory military service in Korea, but that doesn’t mean that he’s stopped accumulating musical achievements. The K-pop vocalist has enjoyed an especially fantastic 2024 that more or less started when he released the song ‘Never Let Go’ as a tribute to fans.
In 2023, he released his debut solo studio album, ‘Golden,’ to considerable success, and he recently reaped the fruits of that success when he earned two BBMA awards in Los Angeles on Thursday, Dec. 12.

This week, Jungkook took home two coveted awards from one of the top award shows in the US. The vocalist won in the Top K-pop Album and Top Global K-pop Song categories for his debut solo album titled “Golden” and its standout single, “Standing Next to You,” respectively.
This marks Jungkook’s second year of winning at the awards show. He sadly couldn’t be there live to receive the award since he is still undergoing his mandatory military service.
