There was news that Kim Shin Young would be replaced by Nam Hee Suk on 'National Singing Contest.'

This decision stirred controversy because it seemed like KBS management thought a young female MC didn't match the show's audience, possibly causing a drop in viewership ratings.

In response, Korean netizens shared their opinion on the matter on a Korean online community. 

"Ugh so old-fashioned."

"That's Korea for you I guess." 

"If that's the case why give it to her in the first place? Doing this all of a sudden, so ridiculous." 

"She does such a good job though..."

"They should have just ended the show when Song Hae passed. What is this reasoning in the year 2024?" 
"What is this, the Joseon dynasty? Hahahahaha." 

"Changing MCs like this really isn't going to do much, I feel."

"Maybe it's time to just end the program..."

"Old-fashioned people running these programs are the reason people are watching less TV." 

"I knew something like this would happen."

"She's been doing well up to now, so what are they even saying. They should have just not cast her in the first place then."

"Let's see just how well they do after changing to a male MC." 

"So embarrassing." 

"Are they crazy? Isn't this lawsuit worthy?"

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.
