Actors Ji Soo and Shin Seung Ho are making headlines after a video of their visit to a club in Manila surfaced, dated December 10, 2023.

The clip, which gained attention on TikTok in January 2024, has sparked discussions among Korean audiences.

In the video, Shin Seung Ho is seen without a mask, wearing sunglasses and a cap, while Ji Soo is cautious, keeping his mask on throughout the visit.

The duo's presence caught the eye of many, with Ji Soo even removing his cap to shield his face when he realized people recognized him.

Despite a fan's request for a photo, Ji Soo left quickly after being tapped on the arm by someone who seemed to recognize him.

Contrary to criticism, some netizens defended Ji Soo, pointing out that he had faced public backlash earlier due to accusations of school bullying and sexual assault in March 2021.

His contract with his company was terminated in May 2021, leading to his enlistment in the army later that year.

"Despite everything, Ji Soo is handling it well."

"Shin Seung Ho is cool, and Ji Soo deserves a chance for a fresh start."

"Remember, people can change. Let's support Ji Soo on his path to redemption."

"Netizens are the biggest bullies."

"They hate bullies yet turned out to be the biggest bullies, ?."

"Let them be. All these artists should really sue each & every single one of the 'fans.'"

"Are young men not allowed to go out and have fun? Kpop and KDrama fans are worse than the haters."

"Why is going to a club a big sin for actors and actresses? Fans don't own their lives."

"To all the delulu people/fans out there, Jisoo and his friends are very much welcome to roam around and have fun here in our country or elsewhere. Btw, your cancel-culture is disgusting!"

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.
