    Other netizens then commented:

    I don't have to curse at them because I know that a lot of other people will do it for me. They still haven't figured out that we're not in the same generation anymore. I feel bad that they still have so much to learn.

    The MCs at festivals have really brought the bar down. So many jerks live in the world. I thought it might be because they were older, but they're not that old, so why are they all the same? Even though I'm not shocked.

    Why does the bar have to be so low? People will just get mad at them.

    Oh no, that's so cheap and simple. They didn't care at all.

    Wonyoung is not yet an adult. Do they want to stir up trouble? Why do they say such stupid things?

    Crazy… Wonyoung is still too young to… This is terrible.

    As a fan of female idols, I've heard almost everything said at events like that one.

    So disgusting...

    It's the 21st century now.

    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.
