Popular actress Ahn Eun Jin recently shared her views on the concept of "stanning" in the K-pop community.

Appearing as a guest on the January 6th episode of JTBC's 'Knowing Brothers' alongside actor Nam Goong Min, Ahn Eun Jin participated in a game of 'This or That.'

When asked if she would spend 10 minutes talking with her bias Hanni or attend a highly sought-after NewJeans concert, she opted for the 2-hour concert experience.

Her reason? "You shouldn't meet your bias. Stanning someone means liking them based on your perception, and meeting them in person might reveal they're just another human under the same sky."

After the show, fans from various fandoms united in agreement with her perspective. Some comments include:

"So true. I like having some distance when it comes to stanning."

"lol, she could be my moot on Twitter without me knowing."

"I totally agree. I prefer going to concerts than fan sign events."

"I once left a fandom after a fan sign event. It's best when you support them from afar."

"Exactly. That's why I don't want to know their personal lives."

"I'd do anything for a front-row seat at concerts, but fan sign events? Couldn't care less."

What are your thoughts?

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.
