JIMIN was the winner of the special campaign "2024 Face of K-POP" newly launched by the international voting platform "ICON".
In the "(Charity Campaign) Voting" held from March 10th to April 30th, JIMIN received 10,000 votes.
The artist, PARK JIMIN, donated 700,000 won to support children in need for one year.
By donating the above amount, ICON will receive an official commendation, a letter of appreciation, and a certificate. Prior to the vote, ICON announced, "We will be naming the most influential K-POP solo artists in the world today.
"We are launching a special campaign to put the spotlight on them," he said, "The new plan, 'The Face of K-Pop in 2024,' aims to identify the best K-Pop icon right now."
"We will continue to promote K-POP through our new voting campaign," he said, explaining the reason for starting the new campaign. He also said that in selecting candidates, "we will look not only at popularity and trends, but also at cultural influence and perspective that captures the essence of K-POP."
"We took into consideration the aesthetic of the group and were cautious about the decision," he said. Meanwhile, ARMYs around the world are following Jimin's example, who has been steadily donating to children and education, regardless of nationality.
They have set a good example as a model fandom of positive influence by spreading help all over the world, regardless of region, so this charity vote to sponsor children seems even more meaningful to me.
