    They expressed their dissatisfaction with the outfits and hoped that the group's management would provide them with better styling in the future.

    Here are some reactions from netizens regarding NMIXX's stage outfits:

    "If they wanted to dress casually, they could have picked something other than that navy set."

    "Haewon's clothes are the worst. They make a strange optical illusion."

    "Oh my god, Sullyoon has a hoodie that zips up…"

    "Other groups are busy making themselves look stylish. Why should NMIXX girls only be remembered as "the talented ones" and not as "the stylish ones"…T_T"

    "All of their clothes in the official music video are bad, too."

    "They look like they just got up on stage while going for their daily walks."

    "They look like those people who have to wear funny outfits as punishment on a variety show."

    "They are good at live performances, but it looks like they were just told to wear whatever casual clothes they wanted."

    "That thing that looks like a dress and has stripes looks like maternity clothes."

    "Why do they have to wear those weird pants under the dress?"

    What are your thoughts?

    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.
