BTS, the global K-pop sensation, clinched five top honors at The Fact Music Awards (TFMA) on October 2, reinforcing their dominance in the music industry. These achievements were announced ahead of the grand award ceremony set for October 10. The group’s wins underscore their global appeal and the unwavering dedication of their fans.
Jimin and V, two of BTS‘ members, also received individual accolades. Jimin secured the Idol Plus Popularity Award with a staggering 36% of the votes. This victory made him the first Korean soloist to achieve such a feat in K-pop history. Given that the Idol Plus Popularity Award is determined entirely by fan votes, Jimin‘s triumph speaks volumes about his immense popularity. Fans reportedly created multiple accounts to cast more votes for their favorite artist, with 200 lucky individuals set to receive invitations to the award show.
V‘s R&B track “Slow Dancing” from his debut solo album Layover was recognized as the Best Fall Music. BTS’ Min Yoongi, also known as Agust D or SUGA, was nominated for the Idol Plus Popularity Award as well. The group’s other wins include Best Music Summer for “Take Two,” Fan N Star Choice Group, and Most Voted Artist.

BTS’ bond and legacy remain strong
The Fact Music Awards 2023 will take place at the Incheon Namdong Gymnasium in Seoul. While it remains uncertain which BTS members will grace the event, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Organized by Fan N Star and The Fact, this award-giving body celebrates Korean artists’ contributions to the Hallyu wave. Winners are chosen based on data from Circle (formerly Gaon), fan votes, and a panel of experts. Several categories are under the Fan N Star banner, with winners primarily determined by fan votes.
International fans have multiple platforms to watch the awards show. It will be broadcast on IdolPlus in Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and the Philippines. In Japan, viewers can tune in to dTV or MusicOn!. KOOKY will air it in both Latin and North America. Meanwhile, European and Middle Eastern audiences can catch it on TMA’s YouTube channel.
Although three members—j-hope, Jin, and SUGA—are currently serving in the military while the rest are pursuing solo endeavors, the group’s bond and legacy remain strong. The fact that they’re still winning awards despite being on hiatus is a testament to their enduring impact and the love of their fans. – K-Pop News Writer
