    IOK Entertainment will continue to help actress Goo Hye Sun on her journey.


    On December 20, IOK Entertainment said, "We have renewed the contract with actress Goo Hye Sun, who is loved not only in Korea but also in Asia, such as China and Japan."


    Since her first appearance on MBC's comedy "Nonstop 5" in 2004, Goo Hye Sun has been in a number of dramas, including "Hearts of Nineteen," "Boys Over Flowers," and "Blood."


    Aside from playing, Goo Hye Sun has shown that she is skilled in many other areas, such as as a director, painter, and writer.

    She got a lot of attention at the 25th Bucheon International Animation Festival (BIAF 2023), when she showed off the academic meeting catalog design she had made herself.

    In 2011, Goo Hye Sun started studying in the Department of Imaging at Sungkyunkwan University. However, she had to take a long break because of work.

    She is currently going to school after going back in 2020.

    She'll be done with school next year.

    This is what an IOK representative said: "Actress Goo Hye Sun, who works in many areas like acting, film directing, painting, and writing, will be actively supported to continue her wide range of activities."

    We ask that you keep caring about and supporting Goo Hye Sun in the future.

    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.
