• Kim Seon Ho Decided Not To Attend '2021 Asia Artist Awards'

    Actor Kim Seon Ho, who was engulfed in privacy controversy, will not attend the awards ceremony.

    According to AtStyle on November 30th, Kim Seon Ho will not attend the '2021 Asia Artist Awards' (2021 AAA) to be held on December 2nd.

    An official from Kim Seon Ho's side told the media, "Kim Seon Ho had been contemplating attending the awards ceremony until recently, but decided it was too early to attend."

    At the '2021 AAA', Kim Seon Ho won the 'RET Popularity Award' in the male actor category and the 'U+Idol Live Popularity Award' twice.

    In the award category determined by online fan voting, Kim Seon Ho took first place early, so the award was certain, and interest in whether to attend or not was gathered.

    However, it seems that Kim Seon Ho has decided that it is still burdensome to appear in front of the public, as he has recently stopped working due to controversy over his privacy.

    In October, Kim Seon Ho was embroiled in a privacy controversy, such as asking his ex-girlfriend to have an abortion.

    The revealer complained that she had been dating Kim Seon Ho since last year and even got pregnant, but had no choice but to have an abortion due to Kim Seon Ho's insistence.

    However, as the content of the message she had with her ex-girlfriend was reported, public opinion toward Kim Seon Ho was reversed, and advertisements that had been suspended were resumed.

    Kim Seon Ho also got off before filming in some works, but he decided to continue his appearance in the movie 'Sad Tropical', his first screen debut, and is about to start filming on December 10th.

    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.
