• Netizens wonder why HYBE reveals the identity of the "trainee" who never got to debut with LE SSERAFIM

    Because of what was in their documentary, LE SSERAFIM has become a hot topic.

    On September 15, Source Music surprised everyone by saying that they will release a documentary called "The World Is My Oyster".

    This documentary will show how the new girl group LE SSERAFIM got together and grew until they finally made their debut.

    In one of the episodes, there was a trainee who was supposed to make their debut with LE SSERAFIM. Netizens were surprised to see that the trainee's name was given away in the video without any hesitation.

    Her name is Haruka . Why did HYBE say her name and put her in the video? Netizens think it's very likely that she'll show up in I-LAND 2.

    Some people thought that the trainee might be in the upcoming girl group version of I-LAND produced by Belift Lab, which is part of HYBE Labels.

    Other netizens also speculated, that maybe the agency is testing the waters if the trainee will be accepted by the fans and add her in the group to replace Kim Garam.

    Other netizens commented:

    I hope that LE SSERAFIM doesn't add her as a new member. Her vibe doesn't fit.

    Anyway, they took her out of the group in the beginning because she didn't fit the group's image, so I think they'll just keep going as 5.

    They should have shown her off first instead of that jerk. Why did they get rid of her?

    She looks nice. Kim Garam isn't as good as her.

    I think they'll look at the responses, and if they're good, they'll either add her to the group or send her to I-LAND. I don't mind if she joins the group, since their original idea was to have six wings, right?

    What are your thoughts on the post about LE SSERAFIM?

    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.
