The global mega-hit webtoon "Love Alarm" with a cumulative global view of 5 billion views will be newly created as a real-life.

On the 20th, Kakao Entertainment announced that it will openly recruit performers until the 31st, reporting the production of the love psychological survival "Ring, If You Like It".

Regardless of age, job, or relationship experience, anyone who pursues "real love" can participate in "Love Alarm", and the production team selects the final participants through interviews.

"Ring, If You Like It" is a work designed with the motif of "Love Alarm" (an application that informs you when a person who likes me comes within a 10-meter radius) and the love reality show "Love Alarm" in the popular webtoon of the same name.

Webtoon "Love Alarm", which began serialization in 2014 and was recently completed at the end of Season 9, is a worldwide hit with a cumulative 5 billion views, and has also been made into an original Netflix drama.

Kim Min Jong, CP of Kakao Entertainment, who presented "Real Men" and "My Dream is Ryan", will be in charge of directing the new love reality content.

By fully demonstrating its unique excellent planning and directing skills, it will capture the delicate and subtle emotional changes of the participants who seek the beauty and love of the exciting and tense love reality.

Many people are paying keen attention to how Kakao Entertainment, which presented a new trend in love reality with "Ring, If You Like It", can draw sympathy from viewers this time.

CP Kim Min Jong said, "We will not only implement the 'Love Alarm' application in the webtoon, but also introduce various configurations and unique rules for viewers to participate in", adding, "We will wait for the participation of many courageous people who want to find true love through dating psychological survival."

"Ring, If You Like It" will start filming in earnest in June and will be introduced through Kakao TV in the second half of this year.

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.
