• “Friendship Over Competition”— BLACKPINK Lisa and TWICE Mina's Shopping Trip Challenges 'Group Rivalry' Talks

    BLACKPINK and TWICE are often seen as each other's toughest competitors in the K-pop scene.

    People in these two groups were thought to not get along because they were in competition with each other in their jobs.


    In spite of what people thought, though, BLACKPINK and TWICE members are actually close.

    Chaeyoung has known Jennie and Rosé for a long time and is close with them, while Nayeon is close with Jisoo.

    Lastly, Lisa from BLACKPINK and Mina from TWICE are both known to be best friends. They are part of the "97-line female idol friend group."


    This made a lot of people on the internet very happy on January 12 in the afternoon when pictures of Lisa and Mina shopping together showed up.

    The girls didn't wear any makeup either, which showed that they were at ease with each other.


    Mina stands out with her fair skin and stylish black Miu Miu jacket, while Lisa's fluffy white jacket makes her seem like the younger sister who lives next door.

    Even stranger, Lisa wore a Bottega Veneta bag that cost $4,500 and an ALANUI jacket that cost more than $2,000 while she was shopping.


    What people have to say about this:

    The friends of the same age are back together, and I'm so glad to see their bond grow.

    People often put TWICE and BLACKPINK against each other, but it looks like the members are very close.

    Lisa from BLACKPINK and Mina from TWICE?

    What a strong relationship…

    Have you seen how much Lisa's outfit costs? I was shocked.

    They are not makeup-free and hanging out without a camera!

    That shows how close they are as friends.

    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.
