    'Dazed', a magazine that presents original content every month based on fashion and culture, has released pictures with actress Lee Yu-mi, who clearly announced her presence as Ji-yeong in the Netflix original series 'Squid Game' through the November 2021 issue.

    In an interview with 'Dazed', actress Lee Yu-mi had an honest conversation about the story behind the Netflix original series 'Squid Game' and how she felt about winning the Rookie of the Year award through the movie 'Young Adult Matters' at the 2021 Buil Film Awards.

    Lee Yoo Mi said, “The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful at the awards ceremony. I thought that even if I did win an award, it wouldn’t feel real. I attended the ceremony casually, not expecting an award, but I heard my name being called. From that moment on, it felt weird because I’d never received an award before. There, someone came up to me, praised me for what I did, and handed me the trophy. Everything felt very new to me, and I was proud because it felt like I was being rewarded for all the efforts I had put into acting.”

    When asked how she wanted to be remembered, Lee Yoo Mi responded, saying, “I want to become an actress who makes people become curious about myself.” She continued, “I want to make people wonder about my work and the roles that I am about to play or have just played.”

    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.
