• TXT's Yeonjun Thanks a fan who "clapped back" at a rude heckler in a video that has since gone viral

    You go, MOA!


    TXT recently had a bad time at the airport, but a famous fan made it better.

    TXT came back to the music scene in January with "Sugar Rush Ride." Since then, they have been promoting the song on different shows.

    Late in February, it was announced that TXT would go to America to film a performance for The Late Late Show With James Corden.

    Fans were thrilled that the group could talk about their new album on TV around the world.

    TXT left Incheon Airport a day before the show and flew to Los Angeles, where the show is filmed. Fans were excited to see the group for the first time since they were on the AMAs last year. They landed safely.

    When the group was leaving, someone in the crowd yelled out that they were a different group. This made the reunion a little less fun.

    K-Pop idols often have to deal with people mistaking them for other groups, either by accident or because they don't know better.

    Luckily, a fan corrected the person almost right away, getting a nod from Soobin in the process.


    Yeonjun thanked the fan right away by saying, "Thanks, MOA," and pointing to the person who had shouted.

    The clip of the moment from different angles has gone viral, with over 650 thousand people watching just one clip on Twitter.

    Fans are happy that MOA stood up for TXT.

  • 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.
