• Netizens are annoyed that Kang Daniel made fun of his mistake rather than sincerely saying sorry to the advertisers

    Kang Daniel said he was sorry for saying the wrong name of an ad product live on Mnet's "Street Man Fighter" by accident.

    KONNECT Entertainment said this about Kang Daniel's apology: "Kang Daniel made a mistake when he said the wrong brand. Due to the heated tone of the final broadcast, he was confused for a moment. We're sorry to the people who saw the ad and to the company that made it."

    The last episode of Mnet's dance survival show "Street Man Fighter" aired live on November 8 KST. Here, the host of the show, Kang Daniel, said, "Thank you to the people in charge of our ads. 'Trevi' is delicious! Just kidding. But I only sort of mean it." Right after the show aired, many viewers were surprised because the ad brand sponsoring "Street Man Fighter" is "Seagram," not "Trevi." Kang Daniel's slip of the tongue seems to have hurt 'Seagram,' since their money was used to promote 'Trevi,' which is a competitor.

    After staying quiet at first, Kang Daniel's representatives finally came forward to say they were sorry.

    Seagram is the main company that pays for "SMF." They helped make things for 6 months. During the live show, Daniel Kang said, "Thank you to the advertiser," and then yelled, "Trevi is delicious!"

    A scene that can't help but make the main sponsor look bad. A person in charge of broadcasting didn't like him and said, "The MC doesn't even know his 'fundamentals.'"

    A person in the advertising business said, "Advertisers don't want people to be nice. But we don't want to be treated badly." "I've never seen an MC in the history of broadcasting praise a competitor's brand."

    Netizens then commented:

    Seriously, what a f*cking idiot.

    I can't take any more of watching him MC… What kind of careless employee are you, aigo? If anything, he should be thankful that they are not suing him.

    Someone's professional life might be over because of this… Formerly successful youth have been vanishing, and there's a good explanation.

    Is that what you mean by "half sincere"?

    Even more off-putting than his "Half serious" claim is the way he delivered it.

    A joke? Half-serious? This guy really has no social graces.

    I really don't know how to feel about him at this point; I could either feel sorry for him or think he's the worst person ever to be assigned this job.

    More than anything, I can't believe he's trying to play it off as funny instead of admitting his error.

    As usual, he is the one who creates his own controversy.

    My God…. This guy doesn't even bother to get ready for work.

    Unreasonable and unprepared in the basics

    Always reliable, that one.

    He takes financial security very lightly.

    I mean, this guy is consistent.

    Exactly what sort of blunder is that? That's what he thinks life is like, easy? In my opinion, he could benefit from some kind of financial counseling.

    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.
