On the 16th, MOMOLAND's JooE explained her side of the controversy over an allegedly copied handwritten letter.

JooE shared a captured conversation with a fan on her social media, where she was asked if she simply copied the letter, to which JooE replied that "the six of us discussed and wrote the letter together as they all had the same meaning and depth of what we wanted to say to the fans, and that we were grateful for those who took the time to read the long letter."

Previously, their agency MLD Entertainment announced the group's disbandment, stating that "MOMOLAND members Hyebin, Jane, Nayun, JooE, Ahin, and Nancy have respectfully agreed to end their exclusive contract after lengthy discussion and respecting each other's opinions."

All six members also shared a handwritten letter expressing their feelings about the group's disbandment.

However, some fans pointed out that the content of the six letters was almost identical, leading to accusations of a lack of sincerity.

Many online users commented negatively, suggesting that the letters looked copied or like handwriting practice.

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.
