• WJSN Bona Praised Kim Tae Ri's Determination To Perfectly Portray Her Role In "Twenty Five Twenty One"

    WJSN Bona delivered actress Kim Tae Ri's passion for acting together in the drama "Twenty Five Twenty One."

    MBC's entertainment program "Radio Star," which aired on the afternoon of April 27, featured Choi Myung Bin, Yoon Eun Hye, Bona, and Heo Kyung Hwan as a special feature of "TV carries first love."

    Bona, who played a passionate role as fencing gold medalist Ko Yu Rim in the drama "Twenty-five Twenty-one," drew attention by saying that she was guided by Won Woo Young, the national fencing team.

    Actress Kim Tae Ri, who played Na Hee Do, a fencing rival in the drama, started fencing practice four months before Bona.

    Bona, who has a strong desire to win, said that Kim Tae Ri also has a strong desire to win, and that she actually had a fencing match before filming.

    Bona said, "I felt the difference between an actor and an idol, it feels like an actor is building a solid foundation to improve his skills, and an idol is used to achieving maximum efficiency in the shortest time. (Kim Tae Ri) is much better, but I won when I play games."

    Referring to Kim Tae Ri's extraordinary passion for fencing, Bona then told an anecdote about Kim Tae Ri, saying, "I was surprised to see (Kim Tae Ri) working really hard."

    Bona said there was a scene where Kim Tae Ri was training with a sandbag in the play, adding, "I once invited Kim Tae Ri to my house, and my whole body was soaked in sweat." Kim Tae Ri ran with sandbags for more than 30 minutes by car like the scene in the drama.

    Bona said, "It was shocking in a good sense," and admired Kim Tae Ri's extraordinary passion for her role.

    In addition, Bona boasted, "I went out to the Idol Star Athletics Championships and shot Exten," telling an anecdote of her light victory in the national palace match against Kim Tae Ri.

    Meanwhile, MBC's "Radio Star" is an unrivaled talk show program that disarms guests with the talk of a skit who doesn't know where to go and brings out the real story, and airs every Wednesday at 10:30 p.m.

    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.
