"Jihoo, do you have a girlfriend?"

Kim Hyun Joong, an idol from the second generation, recently remade a scene from the hit show Boys Over Flowers, which he was in.

The show was one of the first Korean dramas to get a lot of attention outside of Korea. In 2023, jokes about the drama are popular again because of the over-the-top acting and cringe-worthy lines.

Kim Hyun Joong put his whole heart into the spoof. He even got the same actress who was in the scene with him back then to do it again.

The actor is not Korean, so this was not easy to do. Haiming from A'ST1 was in the scene back then as Jihoo's foreign friend.

Later, the deliberately wrong pronunciation and messed-up grammar became a famous meme.

Haiming agreed to be in the spoof without any trouble. In 2009, A'ST1 broke up, and Haiming went back to China to start his own entertainment business.

Fans couldn't believe that Kim Hyun Joong didn't seem to get older.

Kim Hyun Joong has really gotten better with age, as this shows.

Jihoo sunbae hasn't changed at all.

Some people said how much they missed him.

We would love to see Kim Hyun Joong show up in more K-dramas.

Fans of Boys Over Flowers can rest easy, though, because he hasn't forgotten about the popular series.

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.
