• "Wait, Whaaat?!" The Challenges "Mask Girl" Star Ahn Jae Hong Went Through to Play His Character— And No One Knew About It

    Mask Girl has brought Ahn Jae Hong a lot of attention for how well he plays his roles. He plays the lonely nerd who likes the live streamer "Mask Girl."

    He had to act like a socially awkward middle-aged man in order to play the part of Ju Oh Nam, the nerd. In the part, his "loser-like traits" helped him get a lot of praise and attention.

    Ahn Jae Hong had to look a little bigger than usual to look more like the original character.

    Many people thought he put on weight on purpose to play the part, but that couldn't be further from the truth. He said in an interview that he used fake parts to make it look like he had a belly.

    He was a little disappointed that no one saw this.

    Of course, that just shows how good an actor he is. Ahn Jae Hong knows this, but even though he was happy about the praise, it still made him feel a little sad.

    Netizens praised him again for his acting, and they were happy to see how he looked outside of the part.

    I got chills from how well he could act. Why is it that he is so good at being a bad person?
    He is what the character is all about. Even the belly is gone from my mind.
    What the heck, why is he so pretty?
    I'm really into him right now. He looks so good like this. Even now, I'm watching Be Melodramatic again.
    What the heck, Jae Hong is cute!
    I thought he had put on a little weight…
    [Reply to] I agree, Ahn Jae Hong is so cute.
    Wow, why does he look so good in the pictures?


    In Mask Girl, Ahn Jae Hong played Ju Oh Nam himself! It's not surprising that people didn't realize it was all an outfit!

    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.
