Actor Jun Ji Hyun makes a new start.

On May 30th, Sports Chosun reported, "Jun Ji Hyun is leaving the cultural warehouse to stand alone."

In response, Culture Depot said, "We have a contract with Jun Ji Hyun until the end of June."

Although Jun Ji Hyun received love calls from numerous agencies for her role in the movie 'The Thieves' in 2012, it is said that she moved to the Cultural Depot to keep her loyalty to CEO Kim Seon Jeong, whom she had known for a long time.

After that, Jun Ji Hyun worked with the Cultural Depot for a whopping 10 years, laying the foundation for her agency.

Currently, the cultural warehouse includes Seo Ji Hye, Kim So Hyun, Yoon Ji Min, Yoon Ji On, and Han Dong Ho.

Previously, Jun Ji Hyun established Ieum Hashtag Co., Ltd. with CEO Kim Seon Jeong in 2020. It has not been revealed whether Jun Ji Hyun will go for the Ieum hashtag or choose to stand alone.

Meanwhile, Jun Ji Hyun said last month that she had renewed her contract with chicken brand bhc for the ninth year.

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.
