    CLASS:y is a 7-member girl group that made their debut on May 5, 2022, after being formed through the survival show "My Teenage Girl".

    Following their debut, they released their most recent official comeback, "Tick Tick Boom", on October 26, 2022.

    Concerned fans of CLASS:y took to social media and trended #TreatCLASSyBetter on various platforms, expressing their frustration and seeking clarification regarding the group's situation and extended hiatus.

    The hashtag reflects their desire for better treatment of the group and a clearer understanding of the reasons behind their prolonged absence from the music scene.

    Korean Netizens react to the online posts:

    "What is the agency really doing?"

    : "So, when will they make a comeback? They are forced to take a break due to inactivity"

    : "If you're not going to make a comeback, please let them go."

    : "Tick Tick Boom I liked the song, but it's a pity that it would have been more popular if they had released songs like this in succession in a shorter comeback period.. All the members are good."

    : "Let's at least send a truck.."

    : "Do you have money for a protest truck?"

    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.
