• Actress Kim Sae Ron Activates Her Instagram Comment Section Again Days After DUI Incident

    Actress Kim Sae Ron, who caused a scandal due to drunk driving, blocked the SNS comment section, but was criticized and started communicating again.

    On May 19th, Kim Sae Ron posted a handwritten apology on her Instagram and showed herself reflecting on drunk driving. She has since re-enabled her comment section so that her fans can comment again.

    As soon as the drunk driving incident was reported on the morning of May 18th, Kim Sae Ron closed the SNS comment section and stopped communication.

    In response, netizens poured out harsher criticism, saying, "Do you cover your ears and do not reflect?", "Do you have the spirit to do social media while drunk?" and "It's really shameless".

    At that time, Kim Sae Ron had not even apologized, so the public's gaze was very cold.

    It seems that Kim Sae Ron recognized that the public is more angry about responding with silence, and adjusted it to be able to re-post SNS comments to change negative public opinion even a little.

    However, fans are expressing great disappointment as to whether it was too late to respond.

    On the other hand, according to the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, Kim Sae Ron crashed into various structures while drunk driving in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, around 8 am on the 18th and fled.

    Kim Sae Ron was ignorant when the police arrived, and told the police who was trying to measure alcohol that she wanted to do a blood test and went to the hospital.

    Kim Sae Ron, who admitted to drinking and driving, got off the new drama "Trolley".

    She repeatedly apologized for causing damage to the production crew and fellow actors who were already filming.

    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.
