• 'Gumiho's New Season Production Is Confirmed

    'Gumiho' is confirmed to have a new season which is targeted to be aired in the first half of 2022.

    Drama officials issued a statement on the 27th that tvN's 'Gumiho' decided to produce season 2 and season 3 side by side.

    Meanwhile, 'Gumiho' is a fantasy action romance between a nine-tailed fox who has settled in the city and a producer who pursues him. The first season aired in October 2020 and ended with the highest viewership rating of 5.8%. There was talk of a season system at the time of the end, and it was finally confirmed.

    However, the female protagonist changes. Jo Bo Ah, who worked as a producer for the 'Finding Urban Ghost Stories' program in the play, decided not to join the follow-up season. The production team started casting a new female lead. The subsequent season also takes you back to the past. Season 2 goes to the Japanese colonial period and season 3 goes to the Joseon Dynasty, changing the genre to a historical fantasy. Season 2 and Season 3 were planned for 16 episodes each.

    Except for the female lead, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Beom, and Joo Yeon are together, and director Kang Shin Hyo takes the megaphone. The broadcast is scheduled for the first half of next year.

    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.
