Apink will present their first unit in 11 years of debut.

On June 13th, the agency IST Entertainment announced, "Apink's unit consisting of members Park Cho Rong and Yoon Bo Mi will release their first album in July."

The agency said, "We are working hard to prepare to meet fans with new charm and high-quality music, so please look forward to it."

The group name of the unit presented this time, 'Chobom', is derived from the names of two people, Park Cho Rong and Yoon Bo Mi.

It is the first time for Apink to release an official unit album rather than a one-time combination for album tracks or performances, so many people's attention is focused.

Apink debuted in the music industry with the release of the album 'Seven Springs of Apink' in 2011.

After that, Apink's 'NoNoNo', 'Mr. Chu', 'LUV', and 'There is no one', and many other hit songs were created and loved by fans.

Park Cho Rong and Yoon Bo Mi, who have been attracting attention for their presence as 'all-around idols', are paying attention to how they will show off their charms with different transformations and music through this unit activity.

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.
