• Korean netizens react to the fact that NCT 127 wasn't able to sold-out their $39 priced ticket for their comeback showcase

    NCT 127 has become a hot topic because of the comments on their upcoming comeback showcase.

    On September 15, a post about NCT 127 began trending on enter-talk‘ community board under the title, “NCT 127, WHO COULDN'T FILL A 55K SHOW, WON AT KINTEX.“.

    The netizen who posted said, “NCT 127 4th album '2 Baddies' comeback show - Faster" standing area - (regular) 55,000won 8PM September 16th“.

    The netizen then added, "891 seats (left)"

    The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

    I just looked at the reservation page, and what the post says is true. Why do the fans say that it isn't?

    The fans who are trying to stop this are funny. Think people are stupid? You'd see it right away if you just looked at the booking page.

    Earthquake-dols

    "Emergency message from Jeju… NCT singing and dancing to "Earthquake" on the B-side."

    Why do so many trolls follow NCT? ㄷㄷ

    The reason 127 fans are so funny is because they keep saying that Chuseok is the reason why their first week sales didn't go well. However, when the other NCT unit promoted during Chuseok, 127 fans were the ones making fun of them for not being able to fill the third floor of the Olympic stadium with 130,000won worth of tickets, even though they came back on a weekday. Now, they use the "weekday comeback" as an excuse and are fooling themselves about it. At the same time, they make fun of the other unit for not filling up their third floor and call their concert a "empty house." This show is worth 55,000 won, and now the reason they didn't sell out is that they don't have good visibility.

    dreamzens vs. 127zens again, and SM will be grinning from ear to ear because these two fandoms will keep buying like crazy to prove that one unit is more successful than the other. They'll also be happier when their solo albums come out.

    SM might be a little disappointed that their most promoted and pushed unit didn't live up to their expectations, but they're going to move on. This is probably why Dream is getting more attention now.

  • BTS's Jimin Makes History by Winning 'Fan’s Choice Grand Prize' at the 2024 MAMA Awards

    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.
