Legends recognize legends.
The “Made for Now” singer met the Korean boy band at the 2018 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) in Hong Kong. Janet Jackson was being honored with the “Worldwide Inspiration Award.”
Janet has had quite a year with award shows. This year alone the singer received the Icon Award at the Billboard Music Awards, the Global Icon Award at the MTV EMAs, and the Impact Award at the Radio Disney Music Awards. And, to add to this ongoing list, it was announced yesterday that the “Together Again” singer is being recruited into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
