• Hyoyeon Said She Tried So, So Hard Not To Tell Her Parents About Girls' Generation's Comeback Just To Surprise Them

    Singer Hyoyeon shared her thoughts on Girls' Generation's full comeback.

    Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon, who released her first mini album, appeared on SBS Power FM's "Choi Hwa Jung's Power Time", which was broadcast on the afternoon of the 17th, and had a conversation with DJ Choi Hwa Jung.

    On this day, Hyoyeon also mentioned Girls' Generation, which announced the news of a full comeback in August. Hyoyeon said, "I was really itchy to tell everyone, but thankfully the article was published today. Actually, I didn't even tell my parents, so I hid it, but it's great that I can tell you now".

    She continued, "We were very close to each other", and "we often meet each other", and showed off Girls' Generation's extraordinary friendship.

    Meanwhile, Hyoyeon released her first mini album "DEEP" on May 16th. The title song "DEEP" is an EDM genre dance song that compares the feeling of being entangled and falling more and more deeply in the relationship of biting and ripping with a predator's search for prey.

    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.
