• "The matchmaker was him" — Netizens speculate if it was G-Dragon who introduced Jeon So Mi and BTS' RM to become friends

    Jeon So Mi recently spilled the beans on how she and BTS's RM became close pals. A netizen shared this exciting revelation from Jeon So Mi on an online forum.

    During a recent fan signing event, Jeon So Mi opened up about her newfound friendship with RM.

    She mentioned that they had only recently become friends and that their first encounter happened at G-Dragon's 'PEACEMINUSONE X Nike' private dinner event.

    Just so you know, PEACEMINUSONE is G-Dragon's brand, and it's likely he played a part in introducing these two stars to each other. Interestingly, they often chat in English, which has caught the attention of fans.

    One netizen even mentioned, "It seems like G-Dragon was the matchmaker here. Celebrities have some unexpected friendships. Remember when Jennie was at Calvin Klein with Jungkook and RM?".

    Netizens shared their thoughts:

    "Why are they speaking in English when they're both good at Korean? Haha, that's hilarious."

    "Is she just trying to ride the BTS wave by talking about her friendship with RM?"

    "Whether they speak in English or Korean, it's their choice. It's funny that she's making a point of it."

    "Friendships can sometimes turn into something more!"

    "So Mi really knows a lot of people."

    "It's probably because there were many attendees at the brand party that they met."

    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.
