• Netizens Spark Online Debate Over Knowing Bros' Lee Jin Ho Referring to Jang Won Young as His "Wife"

    Jang Won Young, a minor idol, was recently named in JTBC's "Knowing Bros", sparking a heated discussion among netizens.

    Members of the group "SEVENTEEN" appeared as guests on the episode of "Knowing Bros" broadcast on the 28th.

    On today's program, the participants played a game called "Look at the Monitor", in which they guessed the individual by glancing at the picture.

    When Jang Won Young's image showed on the monitor, Lee Sang Min responded promptly, "IVE".

    When Judge Shin Dong said, "Oh, who's this?" Lee Sang Min replied, "She's our sister-in-law." Kang Ho Dong requested, "It's been a long time. Send her a video letter," after Lee Jin Ho revealed, "She was my wife in a skit."

    Lee Jin Ho then asked, "Honey, how are you?" and asked Park Min Sun, his partner in another comedy, "Mi Dal's mother, how are you?"

    However, following the show, some viewers complained on the viewer's bulletin board, writing:

    • "I don't like what you say to a minor, 'my sister-in-law' and 'honey'" ,
    • "Do you believe you can say 'my wife' joke forever?"

    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.
