• LE SSERAFIM’s Kim Chaewon Accidentally Went Viral for Her “Blinking Dance” and the Internet Can’t Get Enough

    With the release of "ANTIFRAGILE," LE SSERAFIM's Kim Chaewon's powerful and beautiful performance went viral on many sites.

    During their first show, her fancam got 2.4 million views on YouTube, and a clip of the "killing point" got 1.4 million views on Twitter. Fans and people who don't like her praised her for blinking to the beat of the song in the hypnotic clip below.

    In a recent interview, Kim Chaewon talked about how the viral video came to be. She started by saying how often she watches her own fancams to judge how well she is doing.

    Fans cleverly called her "the first idol to send Morse code through her eyes," and they fell in love with the way she blinks to the beat of the lyrics "anti-ti-ti-ti fragile," which was a brilliant touch.

    Kim Chaewon, however, said that this move was not planned. She was enjoying the show at the time, so the move just came out of her.

    Kim Chaewon said, "In fact, I only blinked my eyes for that fancam during the comeback show. I really liked the song, and I would blink to the beat ".

    She didn't know it would go viral around the world, so she kept doing it afterward.

    But that wasn't the only thing about her fancam that made it go viral. Fans were amazed by her beauty and stage presence in her thumbnail, and her powerful yet lovely performance kept people coming back for more.

    With all of these factors, it's not surprising that Kim Chaewon's fancam went so far, even though it was only out for a month.

    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.
