• ‘Shotstone' Coach Lee Jung Angered by Rumors Linking Son Heung Min and Lee Cheon Soo —“Check with Lee Kang In?”

    On February 15, Lee Jung Eun shared a screenshot of a situation that read, "The fact that this situation was directly confirmed by Lee Cheon Soo to Lee Kang In" on her social media.

    In the photo, it says, "I'm not Kang-in Lee, of course. But it's recognized by the association, and I don't have anything more to say. But it was right that Heung-min had an argument with his brother, so I apologized."

    The message seems to have been created by social media channels that deal with issues, humor, etc.

    In response, Lee Jung Eun expressed frustration with the spreading of rumors without confirming the facts.

    She mentioned that people seem to be busy spreading gossip and warned against trusting anyone but herself.

    She also used strong language to express her disappointment and encouraged those who feel uncomfortable to unfollow and refrain from talking nonsense.

    Lee Jung Eun had previously appeared as a coach on the soccer entertainment show "Fly and Shoot," where Lee Kang In was also featured as a child. At that time, she showed particular care for Lee Kang In.

    The Korean national soccer team has been in the spotlight due to internal conflicts. Reports suggest that Son Heung Min was dissatisfied with some young players leaving early after dinner to play table tennis ahead of the Jordan game.
    This allegedly led to a physical altercation between Son Heung Min and Lee Kang In, resulting in a fractured finger for Son Heung-min, as confirmed by the Korean Football Association.

    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.
