• Netizens defend NMIXX's Haewon from haters who harshly criticize her eye-smile

    Netizens have recently started to criticize NMIXX's Haewon for the way she tries to smile with her eyes.

    On October 21, a Pann user put together a bunch of photos of the young performer smiling at a recent show and said mean things about her eye-smile.

    The netizen who wrote the post stated, "It bothers me that she probably thought, If I force a big smile on stage, people will talk about me as one of those idols who really enjoy being on stage, right?".

    Many people have started to say that it looks like she is just closing her eyes or forcing herself to squint instead of smiling naturally.

    The way an alleged anti-fan has been naming the different members of the group seems to fit with these comments.

    Other netizens commented:

    It's indeed cringe.

    To be honest, every idol today must be aware of how to act to get a lot of RTs on Twitter or to go viral on YouTube.

    It looks like NMIXX is making a lot of money these days, given how many forced hate posts they are getting.

    This one ㅋㅋ.

    I know what you're saying. She would be just as pretty if she smiled more often.

    I totally agree.

    I like her better this way because it shows that she wants to do things instead of just sitting around doing nothing… You f*ckers are upset about everything.

    Imong mama ㅋㅋ.

    What are your thoughts?

    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.
