BTS' RM Thanks Fans As He Wins Favourite K-pop Artist At 2025 AMAs
Last Updated:
With this win, RM becomes the first K-pop artist to be awarded in this category as both a soloist and in a group.
BTS leader Kim Namjoon, popularly known as RM, made history at the 2025 American Music Awards by becoming the first K-pop artist to win in the Favourite Artist category. Although he couldn't attend the ceremony due to his ongoing military service, RM celebrated the milestone on social media. With this achievement, he also becomes the first K-pop artist to be awarded in this category as both a soloist and in a group.
RM took to Instagram stories and re-shared the AMAs post with the caption, 'Thank you @amas #ARMY" with a kissing emoji. Later, the leader of BTS shared an article by Yonhap News and revealed BTS's military discharge. 'It will be soon, seriously, soon," he wrote. As soon as the American Music Awards dropped its winners list, BTS fans rushed in to congratulate their favourite K-pop idol.
A fan commented, 'RM PAVED THE WAY. HISTORY MAKER RM," while another fan commented, 'Big congrats, Joon!!! Barracks can't hold down your goatness. Keep thriving, and I can't wait to see you."
Other nominations for this award included BLACKPINK's Rose, BTS's Jimin, ATEEZ, and Stray Kids. The official Instagram page of BTS also posted RM's victory with the caption, 'Thank you for your love and support. #BTSARMY" with their signature purple heart emoji.
Previously, BTS made history at the American Music Awards by winning Favourite Pop Duo or Group for the fourth consecutive year in 2022. In June 2022, the K-pop band went on hiatus as some of the band members began their mandatory military service and others focused on their solo careers. Later in that year, RM released his debut solo studio album titled Indigo, which took the third spot on the Billboard 200 list.
His second studio album, titled Right Place, Wrong Person, was released in May 2024 and attained wide popularity. Additionally, a documentary titled RM: Right People, Wrong Place premiered at the Busan International Film Festival prior to RM's military enlistment. RM, along with BTS' V, is scheduled to be discharged on June 10, 2025, whereas Jungkook and Suga are set to be discharged on June 11 and 21, respectively.

Woman upcycles a 20 kg patchwork bedsheet from Janpath into a lehenga masterpiece. Watch
Choosing an off-the-rack lehenga is great, but nothing quite matches the thrill of custom-making your own. Whether it's upcycling an old piece or sourcing the fabric and shaping every detail from scratch, it's every girl's dream to wear a bespoke lehenga tailored just for her (especially the ones which are self-designed). Delhi-based content creator Simran Anand set an example as she turned a 20-kilo hand-embroidered bedsheet into a stunning statement lehenga. She took to her Instagram on July 1 to share the process that went into it. A post shared by Simran Anand (@simrananand21) Simran shared that while strolling in Janpath, she came across a bedsheet-like material that weighed almost up to 20 kg. But it was the gorgeous patchwork, handiwork and mirror detailing of the bedsheet that caught her attention. Generally, these are festival home decor pieces that are strung on the walls in northwestern places like Jaipur and Gujarat. Bed sheets with heavy work like mirrorwork or patchwork are often hung on walls as a tapestry. But to the content creator, said, 'Mujhe usme fashion dikha' (I saw fashion in it.) It is a reminder of how fashion is all about vision, and can be found in unexpected places, too. Later on, with Pinterest inspirations in hand, she headed straight to her local tailor. The result was a chic lehenga with stunning detailing. ALSO READ: Forget your mom's saree! This woman revamped her dad's wedding suit and internet loves how she slayed it The comment section passed the vibe check with the unique idea. One hailed her creativity and wrote, 'Love a smart woman with an amazing fashion sense, love this on youuu.' Another also praised her local tailor and wrote, 'Lucky bhaiya is so skilled ❤️.' One more suggested the idea of an embroidered blazer: 'A blazer out of this would have been so good too, another one!!' Transforming a decor piece, especially a whopping 20 kg of material, into a traditional lehenga demonstrates the power of sartorial vision. It is about the ability the see beyond the obvious, recognising the potential of style in unlikely fabrics and materials. Fashion isn't always explicit, it's found in the subtle undertones and unexpected places, waiting for someone with the eye to bring it to life. Fashion doesn't begin with traditional fabrics or silhouettes; it starts with imagination and creativity. ALSO READ: Faux, upcycled, or vintage? The fur debate is heating up in the fashion world
