About Taehyung and Jisoo’s journey as solo icons & their recent activities
The TTA win comes just days after BTS' V completed his military duty alongside fellow BTS leader RM. During his enlistment, Taehyung continued to make headlines. Recently, the military-tracking app, Goondori, confirmed that V received an average of 8,500 letters a day—more than any other celebrity on the app since its launch in 2018.
His previous solo work, including the album Layover and collaborations with CELINE, Cartier, and ELLE Korea, continues to uphold his reputation as one of the most beloved and followed idols worldwide.
Meanwhile, Jisoo made her solo debut with ME in 2023, breaking sales records as the first Korean female soloist to sell over a million copies. Her success extended beyond music; she starred in the drama Snowdrop and recently launched her own label, Blissoo, under Warner Records.
Her 2025 EP Amortage and the chart-topping single Earthquake further cemented her status as a versatile soloist. She is one of the most-followed Korean actresses on Instagram and remains a front-row favorite in the global fashion scene, particularly as Dior’s global ambassador.
The 13th Top Ten Awards also highlighted other competitive voting categories, such as Best Idol Groups and Rookies. Groups like TXT, ASTRO, NiziU, and tripleS also drew close numbers.
