    Netizens are hilariously joking about NewJeans's recent stage outfits.

    On October 14th, the girl group NewJeans performed their songs on 2022 KCON held in Japan, where they each wore different outfits with colorful designs. On an online community forum, a netizen shared a post titled "NEWJEANS' hair and makeup at KCON Japan were a disaster".

    In the post, the netizen uploaded a screenshot from their 2022 KCON interview, and the commenters hilariously write how "disappointed" they are by how "weird" these outfits look!

    Compared to the wilder and more unconventional outfits that the group has been wearing, these "outfits" were looking relatively "different", according to the netizens.

    Some comments include:

    They probably didn't wear it just for fun, right?

    Y2K isn't this….I'm telling you it's not.

    Why????????

    Did they change cordi? This is so different from their early days…

    Even during The Fact, I just can't understand their concept

    The only reason the maknae is cute is because she's so young. They look like a f**king mess.

    Aside from the chicken hat, the hat she is wearing inside and the hat without the glasses are fine.

    What are those hats for?

    When I look at Haerin's clothes, they always look new and different…

    Are those hats just props?

    What do you think of these outfits by NewJeans?

    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.
