• "Love Alarm Clap! Clap! Clap!" Hong Seok Cheon gets Emotional while Watching Jasmine and White Rose in a New Episode

    "Love Alarm Clap! Clap! Clap!" Jinyoung of B1A4 almost shed a tear, too.


    The most recent episode of Love Alarm Clap! Clap! Clap! made host Hong Seok Cheon cry.


    Since Single's Inferno 2 ended, we've been hooked on Love Alarm Clap! Clap! Clap!, which is a reality dating show based on the Webtoon-turned-K-Drama Love Alarm.

    It has a similar plot: a dating app tells users if someone within 10 meters of them likes them romantically.

    The eight contestants, who all go by nicknames, get to choose the two users in their "Love Alarm" app who they like.


    One of the contestants, Jasmine, went viral after Episode 11 because she was so honest about how she felt.

    She told the other contestants that she liked White Rose and wanted to go out with her, even though they thought they liked the same men.


    Fans have been shipping the two, hoping that they will end up together. Still, scenes like the one below have made fans worry that they might stay "just friends" if White Rose doesn't feel the same way.

    Now, in Love Alarm Clap! Clap! Clap! Episode 12, the feelings have been returned. When White Rose rang Jasmine's Love Alarm, it was a pleasant surprise for everyone.

    The girls looked so happy to be with each other. Even more so, the scene made the hosts happy.

    Hong Seok Cheon's response is very moving. As he watched, he couldn't help but cry.

    Hong Seok Cheon also cried last week. So, the other hosts couldn't help but make fun of him. But Jinyoung from B1A4 said he almost cried too!

    Hong Seok Cheon was one of the first well-known people in South Korea who came out as gay. When he came out, he was not allowed to be on TV or radio for three years.

    So, we can only imagine how important it is for him to see Jasmine and White Rose show their love for each other on the reality TV show.

  • BTS's Jimin Makes History by Winning 'Fan’s Choice Grand Prize' at the 2024 MAMA Awards

    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.
