The new Friday-Saturday drama "Big Mouth" on MBC topped the Friday-Saturday drama ratings.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings agency, "Big Mouth", which first aired on July 29 at 10 p.m., received a national daily viewer rating of 6.2 percent on July 30.

This is lower than the 7.0 percent recorded for the previous drama's final episode of "Doctor Lawyer" and higher than the 5.2 percent recorded for the first episode. It also topped "Today's Webtoon" on SBS (4.1 percent).

The plot of "Big Mouth" follows Park Chang Ho (Lee Jong Suk), a 10 percent winning lawyer, as he becomes accidentally involved in a murder case and digs into the privileged class in order to become a rare genius crook, survive, and protect his wife.

Park Chang Ho and Go Mi Ho (Yoona), who were living normal lives in the first episode, foreshadowed the impending misfortune that would soon befall them, thereby setting the stage for the confrontation. The setting of a worldview that transcends reality and fiction brought to mind lawlessness.

Netizens who watched the drama on the online community TheQoo expressed a variety of opinions, such as "I'm tired of the courtroom now," "I was looking forward to it, but it's not fun to watch," "The actors' performances were excellent," and "I'm watching until episode 2."

"Big Mouth" airs at 9:50 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.

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.
