Two of K-pop’s most cherished icons, BTS’ Kim Taehyung (V) and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, have reaffirmed their global dominance with major wins at the 13th Top Ten Awards (TTA), organized by Ten Asia. V and Jisoo each took home the coveted Best Solo Idol awards in the male and female categories, respectively, thanks to overwhelming support from fans across the globe.
For Kim Taehyung, the timing of his win carries extra meaning. The BTS star, freshly discharged from mandatory military service on June 10, secured the Best Solo Idol (Male) award with 52.11% of the total vote. This marks his second TTA victory and signals a powerful return to the spotlight. Fans, still emotional from his reunion with BTS members, quickly rallied behind him, making his win trend widely across social media platforms. A physical trophy will be awarded to V, serving as both a token of fan love and a symbol of his undiminished star power.
In the female category, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo swept the vote with an impressive 62.6%, securing her title as Best Solo Idol (Female) at the 2025 ceremony. This triumph reflects both her musical success and her growing influence in fashion and global brand endorsements. Jisoo’s fans had actively campaigned throughout the voting period, and their efforts culminated in a moment of celebration that affirmed her place as a top-tier soloist. Her trophy will join an expanding shelf of accolades earned since her solo debut.
Beyond the solo awards, the TTA 2025 ceremony honored several other fan favorites, blending industry veterans with newer forces on the rise. ASTRO clinched Best Idol Group (Male), while NiziU claimed the title for Best Idol Group (Female). In the acting categories, Cha Eun Woo was named Best Actor, continuing his rise as a dual-threat idol-actor. Kim Hye Yoon, meanwhile, was crowned Best Actress, earning praise for her strong performances and growing fanbase.
The announcement sparked an immediate wave of joy across online communities. Taehyung’s fans marked the occasion by sharing favorite performance clips and expressing pride in his resilience and artistry post-service. Jisoo’s supporters flooded timelines with tributes to her elegance, talent, and artistic evolution. ASTRO fans had double the reason to celebrate, with Cha Eun Woo’s acting honor adding to the group’s collective recognition. Kim Hye Yoon’s followers were equally thrilled, celebrating her milestone in what’s shaping up to be a breakout year.
With its 2025 edition, the TTA continues to showcase not just popularity but the deep emotional connections between idols, actors, and their fans. This year’s winners—especially V and Jisoo—are a testament to enduring impact and the powerful loyalty of their global audiences.
