• Former IZ*ONE Members Sakura And Jang Wonyoung Finally Reunite On The Same Stage — And Its Everything We Hoped For

    Sakura from LE SSERAFIM and Jang Wonyoung from IVE are both shining stars in their own groups. But before they came back this year, they were all in a project group called IZ*ONE.

    Since they joined different companies, they don't see each other very often. But after a long time, the two former bandmates finally got back together on stage again!

    At the prestigious 2022 MAMA Awards, they did a cover of IVE's hit debut song "ELEVEN."

    The rest of their team was made up of members of other new girl groups, like Sullyoon from NMIXX, Xiaoting and Bahiyyih from Kep1er, and Danielle from NewJeans.

    It was a magical moment that no one expected. Fans who saw the show couldn't believe what they were seeing.

    They praised the girls and said that the group of them looked like a team of Avengers. Others said that seeing the members of IZ*ONE perform together again made them "so happy."

    Even when Sakura and Jang Wonyoung weren't dancing or singing on stage, they still cheered each other on from the sidelines! When one of them won an award, they were seen smiling at each other and clapping.

    It was heartwarming to see the two IZ*ONE members talking to each other again, and fans will probably never forget that moment.

  • BTS's Jimin Makes History by Winning 'Fan’s Choice Grand Prize' at the 2024 MAMA Awards

    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.
