• Brave Girls Announce New Song "Goodbye" Amidst Disbandment Rumors

    K-pop girl group Brave Girls (Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji, Yuna) has announced the release of a new song, "Goodbye," amidst rumors of disbandment. According to the results of a music review released on February 15th on the KBS official website, Brave Girls will be releasing the new song.

    The song was written and composed by Brave Brothers, the head of the group's agency, Brave Entertainment.

    The heart-wrenching title, "Goodbye," suggests that the group's recent disbandment rumors may have some truth to them.

    Brave Girls is nearing the end of their contract this month, but Brave Entertainment has not released any official statement on the matter.

    Brave Girls, who debuted in 2016 as the second generation of the group, celebrated their 7th anniversary this year.

    Their song "Rollin'" released in March 2017 gained renewed popularity after a fan-made YouTube video went viral, resulting in the song topping music charts four years after its initial release.

    However, the group has not achieved the same level of success with their subsequent releases.

    With their solo concert indefinitely postponed, fans are paying close attention to the group's next move. Despite the rumors, the announcement of a new song gives fans hope that the group may not be disbanding after all.

    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.
