• Nam Yoon Su "I'm more interested in playing villains than romantic roles; acting is fun"

    A pictorial of model-turned-actor Nam Yoon Su was released.

    Nam Yoon Su recently conducted a photo shoot and interview with the fashion magazine Arena.

    In an interview following the pictorial, Nam Yoon Su said, “I am concentrating on filming the SBS drama 'Today's Webtoon'. After I started acting, I think my emotions became more colorful in the photo shoot than when I was only working as a model. When I am working on a photo shoot, I do not set boundaries between actors and models. When I stand in front of the camera, the first thing I do is come out well enough to satisfy everyone”, he said.

    In addition, "I don't know later, but I'm more attracted to villains than romance acting. Is it because I'm the youngest of the three brothers? (Laughs)”. He also talked about his greed as an actor.

    He also said, “I want to grow as an actor. I really enjoy acting. Maybe it was because it wasn't started because of a special occasion, so it was more interesting than I expected. I want to experience this pleasure more in the future”.

    More detailed pictorials and interview with Nam Yoon Su can be found in the August issue of Arena Homme Plus and on the website.

    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.
