• WJSN's Bona Revealed That Many People Recognized Her Now Thanks To "Twenty Five Twenty One" But Didn't Know She Was An Idol

    WJSN's Bona relayed the reactions of viewers of "Twenty Five, Twenty One".

    In MBC's "Omniscient Interfering View", which aired on April 16, WJSN Bona appeared as a guest and talked in the studio.

    On this day, Jeon Hyun Moo asked, "Bona is creating a name for himself with the drama 'Twenty Five, Twenty One'. When do you feel the most popular?".

    In response, Bona replied, "Originally, people didn't recognize me even if I wore a hat and a mask, but now they do right away, and I realize it when I look at my schedule table".

    In particular, Bona smiled, saying that people didn't know she was an idol. Bona shuddered, saying, "Everyone believed it was Yurim's double life, and they said it couldn't be matched when they saw her fancam as an idol".

    Lee Young Ja said, "You were so good at acting. It feels like Ko Yu Rim is doing a side job as Bona".

    The MCs also asked, "Did the next work come in?" Bona said, "I've had quite a few offers. The reactions were much better than I thought", adding "I'm staying happy and warm".

    Bona acted as Ko Yu Rim, a national fencing player at Taeyang High School, on tvN's "Twenty Five, Twenty One", which recently ended.

    In this work, Bona received a lot of favorable reviews for her perfectly assimilated performance to the character to the point where she erased the title of an idol-turned-actress.

    Meanwhile, Bona debuted as a member of WJSN seven years ago and started acting with "Hit the Top" and appeared in a number of series such as "Girls' Generation 1979" and "Your House Helper".

    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.
