• [PHOTOS] Gong Yoo Is The Cover Model Of Marie Claire Korea

    Actor Gong Yoo, who shows his sincere acting by perfectly digesting each role based on his solid acting skills, decorated the cover of the October issue of 'Marie Claire'.

    Gong Yoo in the published pictorial revealed a unique personality and free side.

    Actor Gong Yoo, who celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut this year, answered in the interview that followed, 'After the age of 20 and 30, the power that leads me as an actor is changing.' “In the past, I was worried about what my role would look like and how I should act, but now that concern has been reversed. Rather, I think more about how I can influence this work and how my role will affect other characters and deliver energy. When choosing a work, in the past, I only looked at my character, but now I am more interested in what kind of story the producers want to tell through this work and what topics they want to raise.” he said.

    In response to a question about the YouTube video 'Public SEA Drifting', which became a hot topic after appearing in person recently, he said, "Without planning, composition, or script, I just turn on the camera in the morning and shoot according to the flow of consciousness. I want to show myself as I am.” He also talked about his desire to communicate with fans in a natural, unadorned way.

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
