• Jeon Mi Do and Kim Ji Hyun Shares That They’re Big Fan Of Son Ye Jin And They Call Her "Son Pro"

    Jeon Mi Do and Kim Ji Hyun expressed their respect and affection for Son Ye Jin.

    On the afternoon of February 16th, a production presentation for JTBC's new Wednesday-Thursday drama "Thirty Nine" (written by Yoo Young Ah, directed by Kim Sang Ho) was held online. Actors Son Ye Jin, Jeon Mi Do, Kim Ji Hyun, Yeon Woo Jin, Lee Moo Saeng, Lee Tae Hwan and Kim Sang Ho attended the event.

    "Thirty Nine" is a real human romance drama that deals with the in-depth story of friendship, love, and life of three friends who are just around the corner. Through the three friends, the stable happiness of ordinary daily life and the romance that blooms in the harsh reality herald healing beyond empathy.

    Kim Ji Hyun took on the role of Jang Joo Hee, a department store cosmetics manager and mother-in-law, while Jeon Mi Do took on the role of Jeong Chan Yeong, who dreamed of becoming an actress, but now has an acting teacher as her job.

    On that day, Jeon Mi Do said, "We are actually friends with Kim Ji Hyun for more than a decade". She said, "We were both fans of Son Ye Jin. Since we don't have much experience, there were many shortcomings. Whenever that happened, we asked her to teach us a lot by calling her ‘Sunbaenim’ and ‘Son Pro’".

    Kim Ji Hyun said, "The fact that I was acting with Son Ye Jin felt unrealistic", adding, "Son Ye Jin, who I actually met, was so beautiful and I didn't know she was such a fun person while filming together".

    The real-life human romance "Thirty Nine", which deals with the friendship and love of the three women, will air at 10:30 p.m. on February 16th.

    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.
