The following year, he further demonstrated his status at the top of the music world by taking home the Song of the Year trophy at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. His upcoming South Korean shows are expected to offer fans the perfect opportunity to experience up close his singular live performances, which have swept global charts.
