• Park Bo Gum Becomes Celine’s First Ever Male Actor Ambassador — and Netizens Think They Made the Perfect Choice

    "W Korea" magazine has confirmed that actor Park Bo Gum will now be a global ambassador for the French luxury brand "Celine". He is the first male actor to join the brand's family of global ambassadors.

    In June of this year, Park Bo Gum made headlines all over the world when he attended the show for Celine's 2023 spring/summer menswear collection during Men's Paris Fashion Week.

    He was there with Lisa from BLACKPINK and V from BTS, who are both currently global ambassadors for Celine.

    Now, the actor is finally ready to start his work as a global ambassador for "Celine." He will start with the brand's sleek "Boy Doll" collection by art director Hedi Slimane, which is inspired by glam punk, rock 'n' roll, skater fashion, e-boy fashion, and other styles.

    Netizens commented:

    "He's really good-looking… I don't think he's right for the brand, but he's so cute!"

    "He's pretty, but he's not Celine's style."

    "I've always thought he looked good in Celine, and it turns out he's now the brand's global ambassador. I'm excited to see what he wears to the MAMAs this year."

    "The bridge of his nose is art."

    "He looks like Yoo Ah In"

    "He's the human Celine, he fits this perfectly, and his aura is daebak."

    "He was really perfect for Celine the last time they were in Paris. And they gave him the global title so quickly"

    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.
