    IVE Leeseo expresses affection for fans

    Leeseo, a member of the K-pop group IVE, recently expressed her gratitude towards fans in a post on the group's official fan cafe.

    She revealed that she was deeply touched by a letter and post written by Dive, IVE's fandom, and that it made her realize her own existence.

    The post reads, "First of all, I realized that I am a source of strength for many people more than I thought. At first, I didn't know that someone could gain strength from me, and I didn't believe it. I thought everyone was just saying empty words."

    Leeseo went on to say that it was Dive who corrected her thinking and that she only has eyes for the fandom. "I sincerely only look at Dive and there is nothing else but Dive. When I do something that is shown to Dive, I only think about Dive, like 'What would Dive think?' or 'Dive would really like this picture.'"

    The singer also expressed her gratitude for the support she has received from her fans. "Until now, I have been wandering and had no confidence in myself, but now I won't anymore. The time I've endured so far has proven to not be in vain."

    Finally, Leeseo made a promise to her fans, saying, "I hope to spend each day looking forward to the future. Let's hold hands and move forward together. I promise not to follow anyone who calls me from behind. I love Dive more than what Dive thinks."

    The post has since gone viral among K-pop fans, with many praising Leeseo for her heartfelt message. Fans commented, "Leeseo's words made me tear up," "It's amazing to see how much she values her fans," and "I'm so proud to be a Dive."

    IVE recently made a comeback with their first full-length album, "IVE IVE." However, member Rei will temporarily suspend activities due to health issues, and the group will continue as a 5-member group for the time being.

    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.
