With the AMAs win, Namjoon became the first K-pop artist to win this award as both a soloist and in a group, too. Namjoon won the award after being nominated alongside BLACKPINK's Rose, ATEEZ, BTS' Jimin, and Stray Kids. The official Instagram page of BTS shared a post announcing Namjoon's win. It read, "Thank you for your love and support, #BTSARMY (purple heart emoji)."
Re-sharing the post, Namjoon wrote, "Thank you @amaz #ARMY (kissing face emoji)." Namjoon also shared an article by Yonhap News talking about BTS' military discharge in June. Re-posting it, he wrote, "It will be soon, seriously, soon." Reacting to Namjoon's win, fans posted comments on Reddit. A person wrote, "Yaaaaayyyy!!! Congratulations RM! BTS Leader win the first AMA Kpop award. Let's go!!! Plus RPWP was a masterpiece!"
"OMG, I'm so happy for him. I'm glad army was able to secure that win for him since he won't be nominated in Korea because his album is too genre-bending," a fan said. "I was very nervous about this one, because we had multiple members nominated. I'm sooo happy we managed to pull through for Joon!!" read a comment. Another BTS ARMY commented, "This makes me so happy, glad we could pull through and get this for him. He deserves this and so much more."
"Namjoon won!!!! Oh my for his first US/western award as a solo artist! Fan voted too! He deserves this and more. Congratulations!!!" wrote another fan. "Also first year the AMAs introduced the kpop category too and Joon won it!," said a person. "I hope he wins more actual music awards for his solo artistry! (He's been massively snubbed). Hope he also wins the SMA for hiphop!" read a comment.
"The fact that he won a fan-voted award makes me so so happy! Most (all?) of his wins for RPWP have been critic choices and selected ones (which is incredible and amazing!)," said another person. Another fan said, "Congratulations Namjoon!!!! Well deserved. I'm so proud of him and of Jimin for being nominated. First Kpop artist to win this award as both soloist and in a group too."
Last year, RM released his second solo album, Right Place, Wrong Person. Previously, BTS also made history at the 2022 American Music Awards by winning Favorite Pop Duo or Group for the fourth year in a row. RM, along with fellow BTS members Suga, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook, will be discharged next month. Jin and J-Hope completed their military service last year.

He then went on a break for a few years before returning to the WWE stage in 2016. But at 58 years of age, he is not what he once was, and it's starting to slow him down a little. This is why he is now getting ready for his last match in the squared circle, preparing for his retirement from WWE. Goldberg talks WWE retirement and the toll it is taking on his body Goldberg wants his retirement match to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing and, thus, is preparing heavily for it. He said that he knows when his last match is going to be, but getting ready for it has not been easy. Heavy training has taken its toll and injuries have been popping up one after the other. Appearing on CarCast , the WWE veteran said that he has injured himself multiple times while getting fight-ready for the finale. "I know the date (of my retirement match). No one else knows the date public-wise… I hurt myself a couple times in the past three months. But I pulled back... I've got a very high bar to set that I set for myself and 99 times out of a hundred, it's unrealistic… I've been in the ring a couple times. I'm gonna get in the ring again today and it's just tough, man. It is tough.' Goldberg said that he knows it is unrealistic, especially at this age, to think that his body can handle the pressure that he is putting it in. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo But at the same time, he wants to do the best he can in what would be his goodbye to something he has loved for so long.

I need to show up and be me… That was the first day that I felt really good.' He knows what's at stake, and is not going to let his fans down at any cost, even if it means sporting a couple of injuries and whatnot. Fans will definitely be waiting to learn more about his retirement match, while Goldberg gets ready for one last fight.
