• Stray Kids’ Bang Chan Finally Tries Pineapple On His Burger, But The Journey Was A Rollercoaster

    Even though there are a lot of things that make netizens disagree, some of the most "controversial" ones may be about food.

    And K-Pop idols have never been afraid to say how they feel about controversial foods like mint chocolate ice cream or pineapple on pizza.

    Even more recently, BTS surprised international fans when they talked about eating pizza with pickles, which is a common thing in South Korea but not so much in other places.

    Hongjoong of ATEEZ turned down mint chocolate ice cream from San.

    But now Bang Chan from the group Stray Kids has started a new debate about putting pineapple on burgers.

    Bang Chan often holds live streams of his show Chan's Room, even when he was in the Philippines for a fan meeting.

    Bang Chan got a burger to eat while he talked to fans. Everything seemed fine until the idol realized there was a pineapple in it.

    Even though Bang Chan's fans knew that he didn't like pineapple on pizza, they were surprised by how strongly he didn't like it. He even went off-screen to talk to Felix about it.

    Bang Chan decided to try it anyway, and he was surprised that it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be.

    Fans couldn't stop laughing at how he reacted when the topping came out of nowhere.

    And some Internet users were quick to share their thoughts on pineapple on burgers (or pizza).

    How do you feel about putting pineapple on a burger?

    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.
