• IU Had an Unusual Request From T-ARA's Jiyeon on Her Wedding, and Her Response Proves She's the Bestest Friend Ever

    On December 10, 2022, Jiyeon of T-ARA married baseball player Hwang Jae Gyun in a private ceremony in Seoul.

    It was said before that IU would be singing the congratulations song. By tradition, newlyweds are sent off with a song, and Jiyeon's best friend IU had to sing for them.

    She chose "Blueming," which was an unusual choice. Most of the time, the song sung is a ballad or a song with a sweeter sound, but IU chose "Blueming" because it is the most touching. Jiyeon had asked for a happier song, and IU did her best to give it to her.

    IU told, "She was asked to sing a song today. She didn't want to cry too much today, so she asked for the happiest song she could find. So, I picked "Blueming," and she told me to sing it like I was dancing ".

    She said, "I don't know if it's right for this event, but I'll do my best to sing it in a way that works for a wedding. I'm glad they asked me to their beautiful wedding because they look so good together. Jiyeon doesn't like to cry, so I hope that my brother-in-law gives her only happy times. Be happy, Ji-poop. I'll sing "Blueming" now ".

    The audience cheered loudly as IU sang "Blueming" perfectly. She even asked the crowd to give her some screams.

    The most helpful friend, indeed. IU made sure to get many photos of the bride. Watch her little waves as she records the whole walk. IU also danced to Hwang Jae Gyun's version of T-ARA's "Roly Poly" in the cutest moment.

    Lastly, here's a look at what IU wore to the wedding. She wore a tweed co-ord that was simple but stylish. IU was there with her well-known bodyguard.

    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.
