Actress Kang Ye Won, co-representative of the company to which YouTuber Free Zia belongs, has made Instagram private.

Kang Ye Won made her Instagram private on January 25th, two days after she took down all the photos she took with Free Zia.

This seems to be the move that Kang Ye Won decided as the controversy surrounding Free Zia continued to grow rather than subside.

Kang Ye Won, co-representative of Hyowon CNC, to which Free Zia belongs, was scheduled to appear with Free Zia as her manager on 'Omniscient Interfering View', which was scheduled to air on January 29th.

However, before the broadcast, the 'controversy over wearing fakes' surrounding Free Zia arose, and the broadcast was canceled.

JTBC's 'Knowing Bros', in which the two appeared together, was aired with as much Free Zia as possible, but there was still noise in some parts even after the broadcast. 

In response to this controversy, Kang Ye Won deleted all the photos she took with Free Zia that she had posted on her Instagram.

Even after that, some did not stop criticizing Kang Ye Won and Free Zia's agency, who were silent in the controversy, and it seems that Kang Ye Won turned her social media private in the end.

Earlier, through her Instagram, Kang Ye Won expressed her affection for Free Zia as "my little sister", so many fans' attention was focused on her move. 

Meanwhile, Free Zia gained great popularity by appearing in Netflix's dating reality program "Single's Inferno". 

Afterwards, she was caught up in suspicions of appearing on the show wearing fake products, and on January 17th she posted a handwritten letter and expressed her apology. At the dawn of January 25th, she treated all videos uploaded to she YouTube channel as private and uploaded an additional apology video.

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.
