BTS' Jungkook has won in the "Male Artist" category of the People's Choice Awards, according to the organizer Monday, becoming the first Asian artist to do so.

Jungkook, who made a successful solo debut with his first studio album "Golden" in November 2023, is currently serving his military duty, as all able-bodied men in Korea are required to serve in the military for at least 18 months.

Meanwhile, K-pop boy band Stray Kids also won in the Group/Duo category.

The People's Choice Awards have been held since 1975 to recognize excellent artists and entertainers in various fields, including movies, television and music, with the public and fans voting for the winners. (Yonhap)
