IU has been promoted from Gucci Korea Ambassador to Global Ambassador.

On May 30th, Gucci's official Instagram post, "Global brand ambassador IU at the 75th Cannes Film Festival was caught wearing a Gucci gown with lace ribbed flower petals on the sleeves, and sequin flowers and crystal decorations on her skirt." A photo was posted along with it.

The released photo shows IU walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

The light green dress IU wore on this day was from Gucci, and the gorgeous decorations embedded in the dress, see-through sleeves, and frills doubled IU's elegant charm.

IU's beauty in the photo also drew attention, but what stood out in this post was that IU became Gucci's global ambassador.

IU has been working as an ambassador for Gucci Korea since 2020.

However, without saying anything, IU became Gucci's global ambassador, and the exact timing of promotion is unknown. Gucci also said, "It is difficult to say exactly when IU signed a contract as a global ambassador."

With this, IU was selected as Gucci's global ambassador after EXO's Kai, actors Lee Jung Jae, and Shin Min Ah.

Meanwhile, IU attended the 75th Cannes Film Festival with the movie 'Broker'. IU plays the role of her single mother in the play, her mother who left her child in a baby box.

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.
