• "I'm not ready" — Netizens react to rumors of Im Siwan's alleged romantic relationship with Kang Hye Won

    Actor Im Siwan and former IZ*ONE member Kang Hye Won have caught the attention of fans with some surprising photos that sparked dating rumors.

    These pictures started making the rounds online, and fans couldn't help but wonder about their relationship. In the first photo, Im Siwan and Kang Hye Won were seen taking a leisurely walk in a park, while the second one showed them signing autographs for two kids at a restaurant.

    Fans quickly speculated that Im Siwan and Kang Hye Won might be working together on an upcoming drama called 'Boyhood' from Coupang Play.

    They thought the restaurant photo might be from an after-party with the drama's crew and guessed that the kids in the picture could be child actors from the series.

    However, upon closer examination, it seems that the woman with Im Siwan in the park photo might not be Kang Hye Won after all. Instead, it's likely actress Lee Sun Bin, who was also reportedly on set with Im Siwan in Chuncheon.

    Fortunately, media reports have come to the rescue, suggesting that these dating rumors might just be a misunderstanding.

    In other news, 'Boyhood' is set to premiere this November.

    Fans had various reactions:

    "I'm not ready for an Im Siwan dating scandal yet, so thanks."

    "Honestly, I wouldn't be too worried if it were a dating scandal involving Im Siwan."

    "But Im Siwan and Kang Hye Won do look good together, haha."

    "Their looks match well."

    "In any case, idols over thirty should feel free to date."

    "They would have looked great together, though."

    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.
