The SEC Awards, or Series Em Cena Awards, is a prestigious annual event celebrating excellence in film, television, music, and entertainment. Organized by Séries em Cena, a Brazilian media outlet and editorial partner of MTV Brasil, this event honors influential individuals and groups across 40 categories.
On June 28, the 2024 edition of the SEC Awards announced its winners, with BTS's Kim Taehyung, also known as V, securing victories in two significant categories.
Taehyung was honored as "Asian Artist of the Year," recognizing his remarkable impact on the entertainment industry. His influence extends far beyond music, contributing to a broader cultural shift and gaining a massive global following.
Taehyung's debut solo album, "Layover," released in September 2023, earned him the "International Album of the Year" award. This album, which showcases his unique musical style and artistic vision, has resonated with fans worldwide. "Layover" had previously won "Favorite Debut Album" at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in April, marking its second major international accolade this year.
In Brazil, Taehyung is celebrated as a global pop icon. Renan Peixoto, a renowned Brazilian journalist and producer at Latin America's largest broadcasting network, praised him by saying, "V is an icon of Eastern culture who has presented a new direction by transcending the stereotype that handsome men should be Western and macho."
Taehyung's achievements at the SEC Awards highlight his significant contribution to the global music scene and his ability to bridge cultural gaps, making him a true international star.
