What a week for ARMYs! As the D-30 countdown to BTS’s full reunion continues, a massive piece of news just dropped, reminding us of the immense individual talent within the group: RM has officially won “Favorite K-Pop Artist” at the 2025 American Music Awards!

This incredible win is a huge milestone, not just for RM, but for K-pop as a whole. To secure such a prominent award from a major U.S. music show while actively fulfilling his military service is simply outstanding. It speaks volumes about the lasting resonance of his music and the unwavering dedication of ARMY.

RM’s second solo album, Right Place, Wrong Person, released in May 2024, has been praised by critics for its raw honesty, experimental sound, and profound lyricism. The album showcased a more vulnerable and thoughtful side of RM, firmly establishing his unique voice outside of the group dynamic. This AMA win is a direct acknowledgment of that artistic boldness and the global appeal of his individual sound.

He was nominated alongside artists like fellow BTS member Jimin, ATEEZ, Rosé of BLACKPINK, and Stray Kids. This win solidifies RM’s position as a standalone force in the global music scene, proving that his influence extends far beyond the K-pop group format.

As we count down the final days to his military discharge on June 10th – part of the exciting D-30 countdown to BTS’s full reunion – this AMA win serves as a powerful reminder of the immense talent returning to the music world.
