• Netizens Call Out T-ara's Hyomin's Inappropriate Language in Recent Social Media Post

    Amidst controversy over a post she uploaded on social media, Hyomin left an explanation and apologized.

    On the afternoon of March 8th, Hyomin posted a video and wrote, "I was really pissed off after watching M's show yesterday... my skirt is already short, but it should be even shorter...".

    In the video, Hyomin is seen wearing a short skirt, a hoodie, and a jacket with a backpack, taking a mirror selfie.

    The reason why the video caused controversy is because of the words she used.

    The tone "~노" is known to be used in a community called Ilbe, which has extreme right-wing views, to insult former President Roh Moo-hyun.

    The phrase "이기" is also known to be used on Ilbe with the purpose of insulting former President Roh Moo-hyun.

    Eventually, Hyomin deleted the post after it sparked controversy and apologized, saying "I thought this was a dialect with the same meaning as 'meoseon129'. I will be careful from now on".

    Meanwhile, Hyomin, born in 1989, debuted in 2009 as a member of T-ara and is now 34 years old.

    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.
