Model and Acress Jung Ho Yeon decorated the cover of Vogue US February Issue. She is the first East Asian to grace a solo cover of American Vogue.

Saram Entertainment said, "Jeong Ho Yeon was selected as the first Asian Vogue US cover model. This is very unusual in the global fashion industry, and it shows how great the star power of Actress Jung Ho Yeon is."

Jung Ho Yeon 's first acting debut, the Netflix series 'Squid Game' (directed and written by Hwang Dong Hyuk), has established itself as the greatest hit in Netflix history and is causing a worldwide syndrome, while Jung Ho Yeon is the first Asian soloist to decorate the US cover of Vogue.

This is even more meaningful in that she is the first Korean to decorate the cover alone in the 130-year history of American Vogue. In this pictorial filmed in LA, Jung Ho Yeon leisurely gazes at the camera, revealing her unique presence. Even in her unshakable eyes, expression, and restrained pose, she exudes a dramatic mood, making it impossible to take eyes off her.

In the interview with Vogue, Jung Ho Yeon shared what she had gone through after the huge success of Squid Game. She recalled, “My entire life changed in just one month. After Squid Game, I went to English classes, took voice training lessons, and tried to broaden my view by watching various artworks and movies.”

Vogue US complimented Jung Ho Yeon’s hard work, saying, “If there is one word we could choose to describe Jung Ho Yeon, it is diligence. She works hard and puts her heart and soul into everything until it feels as though she might explode.”'

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.
