At this point, we really need to start calling award shows what they are—BTS showcases with extra lighting. Because at the 2025 SEC Awards in Brazil, Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, and J-Hope didn’t just win—they swept, smiled, and reminded the entire planet that even during group hiatus, BTS doesn’t pause. They just dominate individually.
Let’s talk stats, because this was a massacre—in the most glamorous, BTS-flavored way.
Jungkook took home International Song of the Year for “Never Let Go,” making it his third win in a row in this exact category. Yes, three consecutive years, three different solo hits—“Left & Right,” “Seven,” and now this emotional gift to ARMY. At this point, it’s less of an award and more of a yearly appointment.
J-Hope said, “Why settle for one when you can have two?” He won Asian Artist of the Year and International Collaboration of the Year for his soulful track “Sweet Dreams” with Miguel. Just Hobi things.
Jimin’s solo album MUSE snagged International Album of the Year, proving once again that the world not only loves his music—they muse over it. (See what we did there?)
And Kim Seokjin was awarded International Male Artist of the Year. That’s right. He comes back, sings one note, and everyone else goes home. As they should.
Let’s not forget: these weren’t small, panel-decided trophies. These were public-voted awards. Translation: ARMY showed up—globally, passionately, and with enough digital power to sway nations. Fans turned this award show into a BTS appreciation party disguised as an international ceremony.
Here’s what makes this entire sweep even more iconic:
- BTS didn’t promote as a group this year. Yet they still managed to out-chart, out-vote, and out-glow the competition.
- These solo wins weren’t shallow popularity grabs. Each member brought something real—artistic quality, emotional depth, genre diversity. They didn’t win because they’re famous. They won because they’re phenomenal.
Meanwhile, industry insiders and skeptics are left staring at their spreadsheets like, “Wait, how are they still doing this without promotions?” And the answer, dear skeptics, is spelled A-R-M-Y. A fanbase so coordinated they could run a presidential campaign and win it before breakfast.
So yes, BTS basically hijacked the 2025 SEC Awards. And we’re not mad. In fact, we’re thrilled. Because each solo win is more than a trophy—it’s a loud, shiny reminder that BTS’s legacy isn’t fading during enlistment. It’s expanding.
They’ve always been a global force. Now they’re doing it as individuals—with elegance, creativity, and absolutely no chill. And let’s be honest: no one else is doing it quite like them.
Congratulations to Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, and J-Hope. You didn’t just win awards. You claimed your thrones—again—and reminded the world that BTS isn’t going anywhere. They’re just multiplying.
