• BIGBANG's G-Dragon And T-ARA's HYOMIN Spotted Enjoying Themselves In An Art Exhibition

    An idol colleague whom singer G-Dragon met at the exhibition drew attention.

    On the 23rd, G-Dragon posted photos on his Instagram story to commemorate his first solo exhibition visit by American architect and sculptor Tom Sachs. The picture was mainly taken from the back of him looking at the work.

    On the same day, an Instagram account of a girl group member also showed his back. It was T-ARA's HYOMIN.

    On the same day, HYOMIN shared photos and works taken side by side with Tom Sachs. Among the photos were G-Dragon's backside, who was listening to Tom Sachs' daughter in person.

    Tom Sachs is a sculptor who is attracting attention as a "brick collage", an act of fixing and making something using various materials or tools.

    In Korea, G-Dragon made his name known for his "Nike X Tom Sachs Masyard" shoe work worn by G-Dragon.

    Shoes, which were 239,000 won when they were first released in 2017, were sold with more than 10 million won after wearing G-Dragon.

    Perhaps because of this special connection, Tom Sachs also shared G-Dragon's appearance on his Instagram.

    The exhibition will be held at the Art Sunjae Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and Tadeus Lopak Seoul and Hive Insight in Yongsan-gu.

    Meanwhile, G-Dragon has recently been rumored to have split up after rumors of a romantic relationship with BLACKPINK's Jennie. The two did not offer any position on the issue.

    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.
