    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"

    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.
