Chinese idol Liu Yaowen has become a hot topic because of his phone screen wallpaper.

On October 29, a post about Liu Yaowen began trending on Nate's community board under the title, "TNT's Liu Yao Wen, who is the most popular male idol in China right now, was seen with a photo of NewJeans' Haerin as his phone screen wallpaper".

The netizen who wrote the post stated, "The phone background picture of Liu Yaowen, a member of the boy band TNT, became a huge trend on Chinese social media sites".

The netizen added, "Some fans recognized the phone in the picture as Haerin's, so his name also became a popular search term"

Meanwhile, Korean netizens quickly responded with comments such as:

Wow, he must be a really big fan.

Fans should take the fact that he doesn't have a girlfriend as a good sign, since it's Haerin and there's no way those two have ever even met.

I mean, I get it. It is Haerin.

Isn't that good for his fans though? That means he's not going out with anyone.

He is a fan of NewJeans.

That's adorable.

Hey dude, get in line.

It's hilarious, but I'm sure it surprised some fans.

I like Haerin too.

I think it's kind of like when a K-Pop star says they like a beautiful Hollywood actress… There probably won't be any close contact.

Even if you like Haerin, please think about the fact that your fans might attack her in a bad way and change it.

Oh, he's kind of cute.

What are your thoughts?

BTS’s Jimin has just scored another major victory in his solo career, winning the prestigious 'International Male Artist of the Year' award at the 2024 Pure Chart Awards in France.

The award was presented during a digital ceremony hosted by the French radio station RPM and Pure Chart, a top music site that has been a major player in the French music scene for over 20 years. Jimin took home the top prize in the highly competitive category, beating out some of the biggest names in music, including U.S. hip-hop legend Kendrick Lamar and global sensation The Weeknd.

Not only did Jimin win, but he also did so in style, securing six times more votes than the runner-up. This massive victory further proves Jimin’s dominance not just in K-pop, but as a 21st-century pop icon.

Pure Chart highlighted Jimin’s success alongside Taylor Swift, calling them the “standout international artists” of the year.

Jimin’s victory at the Pure Chart Awards adds to his already impressive year. Earlier in 2024, he made history at the MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the 'Best Fans’ Choice of the Year' award and the 'Fans’ Choice Main Award.' He also snagged the ‘Best K-pop’ award at the MTV Europe Music Awards, proving once again that he is a global force in music.

Jimin’s solo album MUSE, released on July 19, continues to make waves across the world, even without promotions due to his military enlistment. His title track, “Who,” recently made headlines as it reached No. 47 on the Billboard Hot 100 as of December 14, marking an incredible 20 consecutive weeks on the chart and solidifying his status as one of the most influential solo artists in the world.
