• Chinese Netizens Attacks Girls' Generation Hyoyeon for Uploading Photo Wearing A Hanbok

    A photo of girl group Girls' Generation member Hyoyeon wearing a hanbok was released, while Chinese netizens poured out malicious comments.

    Recently, Hyoyeon posted several photos on her Instagram.

    In the published photos, you can see Hyoyeon wearing a hanbok and showing off her elegant figure.

    Hyoyeon caught the attention of people by posing in various poses with her fan spread out.

    Hyoyeon also wrote, "Korean hanbok is beautiful" along with the photo.

    While many fans cheered, a Chinese netizen frowned by attacking malicious comments.

    They poured out vomit emoticons and excessive criticism and abusive language, and Hyoyeon eventually closed the comment window on the post.

    On the other hand, recently, at the opening ceremony of the "2022 Beijing Winter Olympics", a woman wearing a hanbok appeared as a representative of a minority Chinese ethnic group, and the controversy over the 'hanbok fair' intensified.

    After that, Hyoyeon, BTS' Suga, and actor Lee Jong hyuk posted 'hanbok authentication shots' one after another on social media.

    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.
