Kim Hyeon-jung, Vice President of the HYBE Music Group label Big Hit Music, received the Best Producer Award at 'MMA2026'.
Vice President Kim was awarded in the 'Best Producer' category at the '2026 Melon Music Awards' ('MMA2026'), held on November 14 at Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome. The award is presented to music producers who have produced well-made albums through outstanding planning capabilities.
Vice President Kim was recognized for her contributions in leading the production and key activities of BTS's fifth studio album, 'ARIRANG', released last March, while considering both the completeness of the record and the direction of the artists.

Vice President Kim stated, "This year was a special one as BTS released their new album 'ARIRANG' after three years and nine months and reunited with fans around the world through their world tour." She added, "Thanks to the passion and efforts of the members, and the great love always shown by our fans, I was able to receive this meaningful award," expressing her gratitude to BTS and their fans.
She continued, "Going forward, I will strive to be a supporter for the seven members. I send my respect and gratitude to BTS, who constantly think deeply about delivering good music and stages. I would like to share this award with the staff who have worked hard alongside us."
Meanwhile, Vice President Kim was named the only Korean on the '2026 40 Under' (Billboard's 2026 40 Under 40) list selected by US Billboard last July. She was recognized for her outstanding achievements as a next-generation leader under the age of 40 who has made a name for herself in the global music industry.
