• LOONA's Chuu says she suffered from binge eating disorder due to stress

    LOONA's Chuu opened up about her past eating disorder during her trainee days.

    Chuu was in the trailer for Channel A's "Dr. Oh's Golden Clinic", which aired on September 30.

    The actors, like Oh Eun-young and Park Na-rae, who wore bright clothes, couldn't hide their happy smiles. But the bright smile hid a mysterious pain.

    Chuu confessed, "I eat so much that I can't get enough air. So much that I eat and then throw up. Once, my hands were shaking and my body was stiff, so I went to the emergency room. I know I should not, but I eat so I can be happy for 20 minutes".

    Oh Eun-young diagnosed it as "a kind of self-harm", and Chuu explained the reason why she couldn't reveal her inner feelings by saying, "I feel like I'm stuck in a tough situation. I don't know how to show my appreciation". Oh Eun-young read her mind, saying, "There is a worry that it will fall apart if you take off the mask", and Chuu cried so much that she covered her face.

    Chuu debuted as a member of the month in 2017. With her lovely image and stable singing ability, Chuu has grown into a unique character. However, compared to Chuu, she didn't get much attention as LOONA and she became the 'most girl' in the group.

    In this process, some suspicions have been raised that there may be a conflict between Chuu and her agency, or between her other members. Attention is drawn to what Chuu, who was always bright, has in her painful heart.

    "Dr. Oh's Golden Clinic", in which Chuu appears, will be broadcast at 9:30 pm on October 7th.

    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.
