• LE SSERAFIM's "FEARLESS" Continues to Climb on MelOn's Top 100 Chart Despite Embroiled In Numerous Controversies

    On May 2, rookie female group LE SSERAFIM made their debut. The girl group has been one of the most anticipated because all of the members have flawless visuals.

    However, despite the great expectations, LE SSERAFIM's title single "FEARLESS" did not do well, failing to chart high when it was released.

    Despite this, the girls continued with their diligent promotions despite a number of setbacks.

    Perhaps because of the female group's consistent efforts, "FEARLESS" has been progressively climbing the charts.

    One netizen revealed the results of the girl group's music chart rankings in an online community, revealing that the song had increased in Melon.

    The song also climbed within 11th to 10th on Melon's daily chart. According to the netizen who made the post, it appears that Korean netizens are becoming addicted to the song as they listen to it more and more.

    Netizens shared their thoughts:

    • I thought the song had no impact when I initially heard it, but I found myself listening to it again and over again without realizing it.
    • I listen to this song almost every day these days.
    • This song is seeing the light a bit later.
    • This song is excellent in my opinion.
    • I believe it will take some time for people to become addicted to this song.
    • I didn't like the song at first, but it kept playing in my head.
    • I was disappointed that this song was not acknowledged, but I am pleased that it is climbing the charts.

    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.
