The girl group April officially announced their disbandment after not exceeding '7 Years of Evil'.

On January 28, April's agency DSP Media announced through an official press release, "After a long discussion and deliberation, we and the members have decided to disband the team and go their separate ways."

"We ask for your support and interest in the 6 members who will walk a new path other than April.", The agency added

Next, the agency thanked the fans for supporting and cheering for April over the past six years.

April debuted in the music industry in 2015 with their first mini-album 'Dreaming'.

Last year, Lee Hyun Joo's family, claimed through an online community that during Lee Hyun Joo's training days, she was bullied right before her debut and had a conflict with the April members.

When the bullying controversy broke out, the members of April and their agency denied it was true, revealing injustice.

As a result, the April members temporarily suspended their activities.

In the meantime, April member Kim Chae Won made an effort to communicate steadily by sharing the current status of herself and the members through YouTube.

Hello. It's DSP Media.

We would like to inform you about the disbandment of our artist, April.
After a long discussion and deliberation, we and the members have decided to disband the team and go their separate ways.
We ask for your support and interest in the 6 members who will walk a new path other than April.
In addition, thank you once again to the fans who have supported and cheered for April over the past 6 years.

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.
