• (G)I-DLE's Agency Cube Entertainment Will Not Released Their "2022 Seasons Greeting" Due To Their Tight Schedule

    Cube Entertainment announced that they will not release '(G)I-DLE when it announced the production of Season's Greetings for its artists.

    Cube Entertainment announced on November 17th that their artists BTOB, Pentagon, and LIGHTSUM Season Greetings were sold.

    However, '(G)I-DLE' added that Season's Greetings will not be released inevitably due to the artist's schedule.

    The group '(G)I-DLE' debuted in 2018 with Soyeon, Minni, Miyeon, Shuhua, Woogi, and Sujin.

    Since then, they have gained popularity with a number of songs such as 'Latata', 'Han', 'Dumb Dum D', and 'Hwa', but in February, when Sujin was suspected of being a perpetrator of school violence, the members went into individual activities.

    Earlier, Sujin was caught up in allegations of bullying when an online community posted in February that she had assaulted and ostracized a classmate while in school. In the process, Seo Shin-ae, who graduated from the same school as Su-jin, was also identified as a victim of bullying. After Sujin complained of injustice and demanded an official position related to the school violence, Seo Shin-ae confessed through her Instagram that she had been bullied for two years.

    After that, Sujin, who had been silent, announced the news of her departure to the group after six months. Cube Entertainment, Sujin's agency, issued an official statement on October 14th of last month, saying, "We bow our heads and apologize for causing concern over the controversy related to Sujin."

    In addition, Cube Entertainment explained, "The police are currently investigating the allegation of school violence against Sujin. Sujin is still complaining about injustice, but she felt burdened by causing damage to the entire team."

    Here is Cube Entertainment Official Statement:

  • BTS's Jimin Makes History by Winning 'Fan’s Choice Grand Prize' at the 2024 MAMA Awards

    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.
