• K-Netizens Defend Jang Won Young When OP Says She Is To Blame For Innisfree Downfall

    IVE Jang Won Young has become a hot topic because of the comments she received on some of her solo advertisements.

    On September 15, a critical post about Jang Won Young began trending on enter-talk‘ community board under the title, “INNISFREE, WHO FAILED AFTER HIRING MODEL JANG WONYOUNG“.

    The netizen who posted said, "A major subsidiary, Innisfree, had sales of KRW 71.8 billion, which was 19.3% less than the same time last year“.

    In addition, the netizen said, "It also had an operating profit of KRW 3.4 billion, which was 64.2% less than the same time last year. Amorepacific said, "We focused on growing high-functioning products like black tea and cica ingredients, but overall sales and operating profit fell because sales from duty-free channels fell"

    The netizen then stated, "When they switched their model from Yoona to Jang Wonyoung, Innisfree stopped being popular. If you want to know why Jang Wonyoung's looks are bad, then you should ask how she can make a whole company fail."

    Finally, the netizen said, "Let's compare the CF scenes of Yonna and Jang Wonyong."

    The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

    (Don't feed the troll) You're referencing an article from the first part of the year, when Jang Wonyoung became a model in the second half. And the fallout from Corona touched the entire world. Even China's sales have decreased, as reported in the media.

    Why should a company's profits be blamed on the model? zz; because everyone now buys Olive Young products, other beauty salons have had poor outcomes.

    Even though, Jang Wonyoung is now shooting ten solo CFs? Just attempt to hate on her; we won't be upset.

    While you have an inferiority feeling over Pann, Jang Wonyoung is shooting Cfs and enjoying her virtuous life.

    We are not insulted.

    What are your thoughts on this?

    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.
