In addition, Bang Si-Hyuk, the chairman of HYBE Corporation, record executive, and producer, will receive a Gold Legend award from Gold House in recognition of his founding role in BTS.

Regarding BTS' Park Jimin:

IDOLCHAMP released the results of a poll that asked fans to select their favourite idol who best personifies the idea of a "human cherry blossom" with a preference for pink attire between April 9 and April 23 KST on May 1. Concurrently, the Japanese media platform Danmee carried out a similar survey from April 16 to April 23 KST, soliciting responses for the best-looking Korean male performer in pink.

In addition to winning the IDOLCHAMP poll, Jimin also took first place in the Danmee survey with 13,949 votes or 49.4% of the total.

ARMY had a field day celebrating these two achievements of their favourite artists, especially amid all the rumours and accusations the group and the fandom have faced amid the HYBE vs ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin controversy.
