With only two episodes before the end of the SBS Monday-Tuesday drama 'Our Beloved Summer', the unexpected news was delivered. 

Herald Pop reported on January 21 that 'Our Beloved Summer' will be produced into a special film, titled 'Our Beloved Summer: The Movie' given the immense popularity.

'Our Beloved Summer', which ends on January 25th with episode 16, is scheduled to return with the special broadcast 'Our Beloved Summer: The Movie' at 9 pm on January 27th. 'Our Beloved Summer' received much love for its mellow nostalgic vibe following the love story between two people who met during high school but reunited after ten years. It perfectly portrays the odd mix of complex emotions when reuniting with the person whom you once loved dearly.

'Our Beloved Summer' did not live up to expectations at the beginning of the broadcast. However , as it began to receive good responses from young people in their 20s and 30s, who are the main users of OTT platforms such as Netflix , it recorded high topicality every time. As the work begins to gain popularity, interest in the lead actors such as Choi Woo-shik and Kim Dami is also growing.

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.
