• When K-Netizens condemn Chen for self-promotion under EXO, his international fanbase steps in to defend him

    On the tenth anniversary of his debut, EXO Chen shared his thoughts.

    At 11 a.m. on November 14th, Chen hosted a media conference for his third mini album, titled "Last Scene," online.

    When asked how he felt on the tenth anniversary of his debut, Chen replied, "A lot of these things have happened over the years."

    And then, with a grin, he recalled, "I remember the embarrassing encounter the first time I met the members."

    Chen later admitted, "Certainly, I desire to go to that time."

    He continued, "I'm curious about whether I will be clearly distinct from what I am now if I return to my debut and start over."

    At 6 o'clock that evening, Chen will release his new album in its entirety across multiple music streaming services.

    However, some of the netizens are upset and rushed in the comment section:

    Please leave

    I'm crying again, Jongdae-yah. Quit prefixing your name with "EXO."

    What's the status of his popularity, if any?

    Holy cow! I think he just upset both parties with that statement.

    I've liked EXO for a decade, but everything that anyone was trying to rely on has crumbled because of you. Don't bother coming back to us… Please, I beg you…

    It sounds like he's gunning for a group promotion.

    Is he implying that if he could change the past, he wouldn't want to become a parent so much as to keep pursuing his career as an idol?

    Don't rush to judgment….give it some more thought.

    I was taken aback by the headline and decided to check it out; seriously, this is ridiculous.

    For what possible reason would he make such a remark?

    Fans then quickly defended Chen and said:

    He only said he wants to go back to his debut days, but netizens are making it sound like something else. If you don't care about him as much as you say you do, please leave him alone.

    I would never understand what happened between him and knetz. Dude didn't do anything bad; he just took care of his family. Then he'll have to deal with stupid comments and insufficient support.

    All these women are mad at him because he found love and had children. Just because no one wants to carry your children doesn't mean you should take it out on him.

    If these knetz are still upset about jongdae getting married and having kids, they must have a bad love life.

    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.
