• TXT's Yeonjun and ITZY's Yuna Drop Stunning Cover of BTS Jungkook and BLACKPINK Jennie Songs, Drawing Divided Opinions

    The 2023 SBS Gayo Daejeon happened on December 12, and it featured acts from a number of idols that had been carefully planned.

    Along with performing their own hits, these good-looking stars also gave fans high-quality covers of songs by their older peers.

    Notably, Yuna from ITZY and Yeonjun from TXT did "3D" by BTS's Jungkook and "You & Me" by BLACKPINK's Jennie.


    However, Yuna's performance of "You & Me" has gotten mixed reviews. The female idol impressed netizens with her great looks and body, but her singing wasn't believable.

    Many of them didn't like Yuna's voice because it was "piercing" and not soft and stylish like Jennie's.

    At the same time, many people felt bad about Yuna because they said her voice sounded much better when she first came out, but it has since gotten worse because of bad vocal training at JYP.

    Some people liked the female idol's body and looks, but others didn't like her singing.

    On the other hand, Yeonjun's cover of Jungkook's "3D" got mostly good reviews because many people thought he captured the spirit of the song.

    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.
