Netizens are talking about why Oh My Girl might not be as popular as it used to be.

On October 5, a post about Oh My Girl began trending on Nate's community board Pann under the title, "Why, in your opinion, has Oh My Girl lost their buzzworthiness?".

The netizen who wrote the post stated, "Since 'Queendom' came out in 2019 and 'Nonstop', 'Dolphin', and 'Dun Dun Dance' came out in 2021, they have become more popular. They were number 26 on the annual streaming charts, and a single video on their fans' YouTube channels got more than a million views. Arin became a BYC model and an MC".

The netizen added, "But all of a sudden, people became much less interested. I thought they were going to be around for a long time because their popularity grew steadily. I wanted them to be the Girls' Generation and A Pink of the third generation of girl groups. Why is this drop happening?".

The poster then said that there are long-running girl groups whose songs have made it to #1 even after they have been together for ten years. There were songs like "Why So Lonely" by Wonder Girls, "Dumhdurum" by A Pink, and "Lion Heart" by Girls' Generation.

In the comments section, netizens wrote:

"The 4th generation has started, and because female idols compete with each other, they made a comeback once a year. The fact that their comeback 'Real Love' didn't do well had a lot to do with this"

"Their new songs were not as good as their old ones, and the new girl groups became very popular"

"They need good songs, but this year's comeback wasn't that great. The public makes it possible for female idols to stay in business."

"Their recycling is way too strict. Their music video for 'Real Love' was a copy and paste of 'Dun Dun Dance.'"

"Even though people say that female idols also have strong fanbases and all that, they still depend on the general public a lot. But Oh My Girl only came back once a year, and Arin, who everyone knows, didn't get any solo activities after her MC contract ended. She made a drama, but not a lot of people watched it. Besides, they don't make any noise."

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.
