• "Why is he doing this?" — Jay Park's Instagram Post with Soju Bottle in His Underwear Causes Mixed Reactions from Netizens

    On August 8, Park Jaebum, also known as Jay Park, took to Instagram to share an unexpected update with his fans.

    The singer announced a collaboration between his soju brand, and a fashion brand. However, it wasn't the collaboration that caught netizens' attention, but rather the photo that accompanied the announcement.

    In the photo, Park can be seen shirtless, showing off his impressive muscles and tattoos. However, what really stood out was the fact that he had placed a bottle of soju in his underwear and struck a provocative pose in front of a mirror.

    As expected, netizens had mixed reactions to the photo. Some found it humorous and on-brand with Park's persona, while others found it distasteful and wondered why he would take a picture like that.

    Here are some of the most noteworthy reactions:

    "This is just too much. Why is he doing this?"

    "Wow, he's really going all out for his brand. It's kind of impressive, to be honest."

    "I'm sorry, but this is just plain gross."

    "I don't get why people are making such a big deal out of this. It's just a picture."

    "He's always been known for his edgy image, so I'm not surprised by this at all."

    "I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand, it's kind of hot. On the other hand, it's kind of disturbing."

    "He's clearly trying to shock people and get attention. I'm not sure if it's working."

    "This is so unnecessary. Can't he just promote his brand in a normal way?"

    "Honestly, I think he looks pretty good in the picture. It's just a shame that he had to ruin it by doing something so stupid."

    "I don't know what to say. I guess it's just classic Park Jaebum being Park Jaebum."

    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.
