Renowned global pop sensation Jungkook has clinched another prestigious accolade at the ‘People’s Choice Awards 2024,’ solidifying his status as an international music icon. The talented artist secured the title of ‘The Male Artist of the Year’ during the event held in Santa Monica, California, USA, on the 18th (local time).
This recent triumph marks Jungkook’s consecutive wins at the People’s Choice Awards, following his victory in the ‘Collaboration Song of the Year’ category at the 2022 ceremony for the track ‘Left and Right (Feat. Jung Kook of BTS),’ a collaboration with Charlie Puth. Notably, his previous win established Jungkook as the first K-pop solo artist to claim victory at this esteemed awards ceremony.
Facing stiff competition in the ‘Male Artist of the Year’ category, Jungkook surpassed renowned figures like Morgan Wallen, who dominated the US Billboard ‘Hot 100’ in 2023, and other top-streamed artists on Spotify in the previous year, including Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, and Drake.
Jungkook’s remarkable journey to global stardom began with his official solo debut last year, unveiling singles like ‘Seven (feat. Latto)’ and ‘3D (feat. Jack Harlow),’ along with his solo album ‘GOLDEN.’ These releases garnered international acclaim, propelling him to the forefront as a true global pop star.
In 2023, Jungkook’s track ‘Seven’ earned him the title of ‘Song of Summer’ at the ‘MTV Video Music Awards,’ while also securing ‘Best Song’ and ‘Best K-Pop’ honours at the ‘MTV Europe Music Awards.’ At the ‘Billboard Music Awards,’ he received the esteemed ‘Top Global K-Pop Song’ accolade.
Looking ahead, Jungkook is set to vie for top honours in four categories at the upcoming ‘2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards on April 1st, including ‘Best Music Video,’ ‘Favorite Debut Album,’ ‘Kpop Artist Of The Year,’ and ‘Kpop Song Of The Year.’ His continued success is a testament to his undeniable impact on the global music scene, solidifying Jungkook’s standing as a key figure in the industry.
