"Single's Inferno" came back with a second season and all new contestants. Once again, beautiful young men and women looking for love got the attention of people all over the world.

Jo Yoong Jae and Choi Seo Eun, two contestants, were able to find love in the end and chose each other as their final choice.

But after being criticized, two contestants who were liked by viewers posted apologies. People didn't like how the two contestants chose to charge a lot of money for tickets to a fan event.

On January 19, Jo Yoong Jae apologized on Instagram, writing, "I paid close attention to what everyone said. As I looked at the corrections you left, I thought a lot about myself. I agreed to do the event to show my appreciation to all of you who cared about me and helped me a lot, but I wasn't being kind. I hadn't given it enough thought."

He then said that he would be canceling the fan meeting event that the agency had planned, and he explained that he would be planning another event on his own dime.

In the end, he said, "It hurts my feelings to think that the people who help us must have been upset by what happened. I just wanted to have time to hang out with the people who care about us and make good memories with them. I will use what happened to me to learn to be more careful and wise."

Jo Yoong Jae and Choi Seo Eun, on the other hand, said that they will meet with fans for free for 80 minutes on February 11 at a performance hall in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

But the two contestants got into trouble when it came out that they were selling tickets to a fan meeting for 77,000 KRW (about 64.47 USD).

Many people on the Internet said bad things about them and compared their fan meeting ticket prices to those of famous people.

Choi Seo Eun also apologized through her Instagram account.

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.
