• “I’m worried Unnie”— BoA unfollows everyone except her late brother and clears her Instagram page

    Fans recently noticed that BoA had cleared her Instagram page, leaving only teaser photos of her upcoming single 'Emptiness.'

    Moreover, she unfollowed everyone except her late brother, Kwon Soon Hwon, who passed away in 2021 after battling cancer.

    One concerned fan shared the news on a popular online community, expressing worry for the artist's well-being.


    The fan explained, "BoA cleared all her following and her feed on her Instagram. She originally followed over 260 people and had over 1000 posts. But she deleted everything except her comeback teasers." The fan continued, "Also, her brother is the only one she's following now, and she unfollowed everyone else. She recently deleted everything, and I don't know why. Maybe she just wanted to organize her social media."

    Other Korean netizens offered their perspectives, speculating on the reasons behind BoA's actions. Some commented, "I think she did it for her comeback promotion," "It's understandable for fans to be concerned. I hope it was just for her comeback promotion," and "I hope BoA is doing okay."

    Others suggested that celebrities often clear their social media accounts as part of promotional activities. One netizen mentioned, "There was an actor who wiped everything on their social media account, but it's not all back to normal. So, she could've done this as a promo for her comeback." Another added, "I think she archived it."

    Overall, while some fans expressed surprise at BoA's actions, others speculated that she might have simply felt like making a change to her social media presence.

    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.
