The '2021 Asia Artist Awards', which will be held on December 2nd, selects winners based on big data targeting global fans and proceeds with a fairer and more transparent award. In particular, the ranking of the artists who have been active this year is decided by the popularity vote of the fans, and the popularity award is awarded to the artist who finished first in each category.

Voting is divided into 1st and 2nd rounds, and you can vote on the website.

The first round of voting begins on the October 22nd and runs until 11:59 pm on the 5th of November. Candidates for the second round of voting for each category are selected according to the number of votes collected, and the star with the most votes will be awarded Popularity Award at the AAA Awards according to the second round of voting held from early November to November 15.

Despite the controversy over his personal life, Kim Seon-ho is maintaining the first place in the Popularity Award in the Male Actor category.

On the other hand, last October 17, on an online community, an article titled 'I will expose the dual and shameless reality of popular actor K' was posted. Person A, who posted the post, claimed that she had been in a relationship with Actor K, and that Actor K encouraged an abortion and unilaterally announced the breakup.

Netizens who saw this speculated that Actor K was Kim Seon-ho based on the contents of the post.

As the controversy grew out of control, Kim Seon-ho made a statement through his agency. He did not specifically mention the allegations of abortion, but he said, "I met her with good feelings. In the process, I hurt her with my negligence and thoughtless actions."

After that, it was reported that Kim Seon Ho and Ms. A had an apology conversation, and the case was closed.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
