• "Queendom 2" LOONA Members And Brave Girls' Eun Ji Shed Tears After Receiving Harsh Training From Monica

    'Queendom 2' LOONA members and Brave Girls' Eun Ji shed tears after severe training by dance crew Proudman leader Monica.

    Mnet's "Queendom 2," which aired on April 28, depicts members of each team preparing for the "position unit competition" in the first round of the third competition.

    On the same day, Brave Girls' Eun Ji and LOONA's Olivia Hye, Yves, Hee Jin and Choerry formed a unit to prepare for the competition song "I Want You."

    "Tempting" was choreographed by Proudman Monica. Monica did her best as a trainer to make the best performance. 

    In the trailer released at the end of the broadcast, Monica and the members of the "I Want" unit started practicing in earnest.

    Monica said, "I'm really sorry, but do you know how many years I've been teaching? It's been more than 10 years," she said, beginning with discipline.

    She then added, "To be honest, I have no choice but to know that I can't do it just by looking at my eyes."

    In the process, Monica did not spare her enthusiasm and anger by touching the members' bodies and encouraging them. 

    Monica ordered a repetitive practice when she didn't have a satisfactory dance line and said, "Get a hold of yourself. If I just appeared, I would make a mistake, but I didn't just appear here," she said firmly.

    After practice, the members wiped away tears, saying, "It's been a long time since I felt this way."

    LOONA's Hee Jin also said, "I'm really crying," and made fans emotional by looking at the camera with bloodshot eyes.

    Attention is focused on what kind of performance the members of "I Want" will show in the first round of the third competition, which will be broadcast on the 5th.

    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.
