    NMIXX Jiwoo's become a hot topic of discussion because of her weught.

    On December 10, a critical post about Jiwoo began trending on Nate's community board Pann under the title, "Reasons why Jiwoo must lose weight", which quickly became a top 3 topic.

    The netizen who wrote the post stated, "Jiwoo, you need to lose weight," she said, adding, "The faces of the 6 NMIXX members don't look good together… Jiwoo is the only real hope. She has to make losing weight a priority".

    Netizens commented:

    "The members aren't ugly, but there's too much of a gap with Seolyoon"

    "I didn't think much of Jinni's visuals, but now that she's gone, it seems empty"

    "NMIXX fans support Jiwoo a lot, so she'll never lose weight"  

    "If they keep pushing Jang Gyu Jin as the center, JYP will never be able to stop NMIXX from failing"

    "Now, I think Jiwoo should do as much as possible to fill Jinni's place in the group… She only needs to lose a little bit of weight".

    Meanwhile, a lot of netizens also defended Jiwoo from body shaming such as:

    "People don't understand why 4th-generation idols don't want to be idols anymore. Stop picking at little things and enjoy what they give us. Just leave other bodies alone"

    "Jiwoo is still young, and I hate that she and all idols get so much criticism about their bodies. She has a strong, healthy body, which makes her a fierce dancer."

    "Her weight is normal and there is nothing at all to say about it. These people just can't stop talking."

    "There's nothing wrong with her weight—she just has a bit of extra fat on her cheeks—but the way her face looks, I can't believe they said, "Now that Jinni is gone, she's our only hope." What does that even mean?"

    "They are toxic people who shouldn't be allowed to say such things."

    "But you're praising Wonyoung's skinny body when it's really not healthy. I'm not a fan of NMIXX, but Jiwoo can dance really well on that body"

    Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

    This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

    The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

    This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

    Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

    With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

    Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

    Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
