The event will feature performances by artists such as Janet Jackson, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, etc. Additionally, Janet Jackson, the younger sister of Michael Jackson, will receive the ICON Award, and Rod Stewart will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Jimin's run as a soloist

Jimin has already made a mark as a soloist and won many awards since beginning his solo career. In 2023, he took home the "IdolPlus Popularity Award" at the Fact Music Awards. Following that, he was named “Best Male Artist 2023” and received both the "Fans’ Choice of the Year (Daesang)" and "Fans’ Choice Male Top 10" in 2024.

Now, with a nomination for Favorite K-Pop Artist at the 2025 American Music Awards, fans are hopeful he’ll add another feather to his cap.

Jimin's contenders for this year include ATEEZ, Stray Kids, Rosé, and RM. What makes this nomination even more emotional for fans is that Jimin is currently serving in the military. His win at the AMAs will mark his last award before he returns to his idol duties.
