There's nothing that can stop BLACKPINK!

BLACKPINK's long-awaited second full-length album, "Shut Down", came out recently. When the song and its music video came out, it went straight to the top of the Bugs chart and its first week on Genie and MelOn. It also spread quickly, not just in Korea but all over the world.

In South Korea, the song quickly became the center of attention and a popular topic on forums and social media sites.

The music video got more than a thousand responses right away on a certain forum. Korean netizens had a lot to say about BLACKPINK and "Shut Down", that's for sure.

Many fans loved and praised BLACKPINK's new song, "Shut Down," but a few netizens didn't like it very much and can't help but compare it to "Pink Venom".

Korean netizens commented:

The song and MV are less interesting than I thought they would be.

The song was nice and clean, and it felt new.

You call this the main song?

Now YG is becoming tacky.

The MV was a tribute, and it was crazy good.

I didn't expect this to be so hip hop and old school… I like classical hip hop music, so this is right up my alley. And Lisa was dope

Wow, that song was so cool.

Pink Venom was way betterㅜㅜ The song was much too old.

It's real hip hop, and I liked it a lot.

This seems more like a title than Pink Venom.

I can't even pay attention to the song because it was so bad…

Pink Venom is better than this.

Pink Venom was better.

It sounds like a new song. When are they going to be on stage.

The MV was terrible, but Pink Venom was well-made.

What are your thoughts on the post about BLACKPINK?

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.
