According to the list of winners of the 38th edition of the “Japan Gold Disc Awards 2024” released by the Japan Record Association on March 13th, SEVENTEEN won the award for “Best Asian Artist” and dominated the “Top 3 Albums” category for the Asia region with its mini-album “FML“, Japanese album “ALWAYS YOURS“, and mini-album “SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN“. Additionally, “FML” also won the award for “Album of the Year” while the DVD of its concert “SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR ‘BE THE SUN’ JAPAN” was recognized as the “Music Video of the Year“, allowing SEVENTEEN to take home a total of six awards.

SEVENTEEN expressed their gratitude by stating:

“We are honored to receive these awards. This is possible thanks to the constant support of our fans, the CARATs, and everyone who loves our music. We are sincerely grateful. We will continue to work hard to deliver even better music in the future.”
